3 Sessions
April 17, 2026 to May 1, 2026

2F Comuna bldg, 238 Pablo Ocampo Sr. Ext, Makati City, 1203, Metro Manila

In this 3-class series, celebrated lifestyle writer Angel Martinez guides participants through getting their writing published—whether that means pitching to local and international outlets, or building an independent platform. It is designed for beginners who are still finding their footing, as well as experienced writers who want to put their work out into the world again.

Through a mix of practical guidance, real-world freelance insight, and hands-on activities, participants will leave with at least one polished idea and pitch outline ready for publication, plus a clearer understanding of how to sustain a writing practice in a difficult and often precarious industry.

Classes may be taken separately (PHP 1500) or as a part of the whole course (PHP 4300).
