“Writing for Everyday Living” makes its television debut this month. Educator, author, and public speaker Anna Tomasino will host the television premier of this educational series that provides viewers with practical tips for all aspects of writing that are needed in daily life.
From “Getting Started & Generating Ideas” to a special three-part series on letter writing, from writing about finance to writing a recipe, viewers will be engaged by Tomasino’s motivational instruction delivered in her friendly, witty, charismatic, and down-to-earth style. Special segments include “Today’s Focus: Tip Sheet”, “Honoring Your Voice,” and the “Editing Corner: Quick Editing Tip.” Each show provides thoughtful suggestions, clear guidelines, and useful resources. Upcoming programs include guest speakers and featured episodes on the following: speech writing, researching the Web, grant writing, resume writing, and interviews with both local and national authors.
When asked about her mission and writing philosophy, Tomasino states, “my goal is to provide practical writing tips and tools. I truly believe that everyone’s voice is vital and needs to be honored through communication. It’s important to be patient with the writing process and to begin. Write Now!”
Tomasino reflected for a moment to recall the words of Rousseau: “However great a man’s natural talent may be, the art of writing cannot be learned all at once.”
