FAQs
How do I qualify for this course?
By graduating from the Fear of Writing Online Course.
Where is the grad course located?
The grad course uses the same software (Moodle) that you became familiar with during the FoW online course. You’ll have the same login and the same profile (the photo you uploaded and the student bio you wrote during your first eight weeks).
How long does the course last?
The grad course is self-paced, so that’s really up to you. There’s enough material to keep you busy for 8–12 weeks even if you post several assignments each week.
Will I have the same course presenter?
There are no course presenters for the grad course. That’s so you can take the next important step in your journey, which is to become a self-initiating writer.
What if I need help?
Help is still available from Milli any time you need it. You will also have the support of your fellow students during the grad course. There’s typically more student-to-student activity in the grad course than there was during your time in FoW101. You’ll feel the benefits of companionship as well as having the same expert help from Milli on tap whenever you need it.
Do I have to reapply and do the enrollment call and all that jazz?
The enrollment procedure for the grad course is much shorter than it is for FoW101. Contact Milli by email to let her know you’d like to enroll, and we’ll go from there.
