    Mediabistro is my favorite source for all kinds of training related to writing. Here's the direct link to the list of courses: https://www.mediabistro.com/courses/default.asp?floc=15&c=mbhsh

    Kimberly - I would contact the Specialized Information Publishers Association. They run copywriting courses and if they don't have something near enough, they may be able to recommend a member who can teach copywriting.

    You can find them at: https://sipaonline.com

    The best copywriters I know have been sales people, so they know the sales process and can also write (not a typical combination!).

    Those two aspects should help you filter out the rubbish..

    Good luck,

    Peter

    I'm a big fan of community college continuing education. Normally the instructors are professionals in their field vs edu-maniacs.

    I think Perry Marshall is a particularly talented copywriter, but I'm not sure if he actually teaches a course in copywriting.

    You might find some useful information here: https://www.lakejoymedia.com/copywriting.html

    You might also look at specialized copywriting courses. Are you thinking about writing advertising copy? Print? Television? Radio? Technical manuals or journals? Search advertising? Direct response advertising? Websites? Other?

    Want to learn from the best? Want to learn from the one person that many if not most of the online "gurus" have learned from?

    Try John Carlton's https://www.simplewritingsystem.com/

    You should consider learning from someone like Jason Fladlien. He is the go to guy for many internet marketers when it comes to copywriting. I watched a free webinar he did on copywriting and was inspired to take notes and write a free report. You can find real golden nuggets in it. I wrote a post on the make money section of the warrior forum where I have attached the report as a pdf file. You're welcome to download it. Here's the post link:
