124 MAKE WRITING YOUR HOBBY THIS YEAR You have seen the papers and magazines steadily increasing in size. Soon they will be free from all restrictions. There are more than 1,000 in this country alone. Opportunities for new writers are increasing daily and now is the time to “learn the ropes”. If you “have always wanted to write when you had the time”, there can be no better time than now. Rewards are high and often they begin during the early stages of the coaching. Let the LSJ show the way. The London School of Journalism has had 35 years of unbroken leadership throughout the world in training by post—with coaching that is entirely individual. It is the quality of this personal coaching that makes the difference between success and failure, the quality that caused “Truth” to say: “The LSJ claims less and achieves more.” Remember that the LSJ was founded under the aegis of that great journalist Lord Northcliffe. It has enjoyed the patronage of many of the most famous editors and newspaper proprietors and its present patrons are Sir Philip Gibbs, K.B.E., and Sir Newman Flower. The LSJ has courses to help every kind of writer— journalist or story writer—beginner or expert. Its latest Course on TV Play writing, specially written by Mr. George F. Kerr, formerly drama script editor for the B.B.C. and now script editor in commercial TV, is unique in covering a field hitherto almost unexplored. The famous writer Mr. L. A. G. Strong has prepared the course in English Literature, Mr. J. Hampden Jackson the English History. If you feel attracted to any form of writing, you should seek the School’s advice. The free book, “Writing for the Press’, makes no extravagant promises but describes moderately the methods of the School and shows how you can enter a field that is open to all. The fees are low—advice is free from Bureau 3 LONDON SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM 57, Gordon Square, London, W.C.1. MUSeum 4574 *¢ There are LSF students all over the world.’’ comiclbooks.conn
