                  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 a 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.
