Online Certificate Program in Novel Writing

 

“…that led me to answer an advertisement in the Sunday Times and

take a job…with a correspondence school…”

 

-Elizabeth Bishop, “The U. S. A. School of Writing”

 

And a certificate!

 

The ad presented as a joke, only it wasn’t:

(Famous Name Brand School)’s Continuing Studies Program

Will make you Hemingway for eighty dollars

And there is a student testimonial

 

And a certificate!

 

Embrace the tools solidify develop

Accomplished authors craft tutorials

Dedicated dynamic cohort peers

Passionate instructors prestigious fellows

 

And a certificate!

 

Achieve the goal for which you have been aiming!

(And a certificate, suitable for framing)

 

Only eighty dollars

 

“The U. S. A. School of Writing had been raided by the police shortly after I left…”

 

-Elizabeth Bishop

 


 

Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry is rightly praised, but her prose, less often noted, is equally delightful in its construction and content.
