Toronto, ON – This spring, two of Canada’s leading creative minds are inviting aspiring authors to merge their literary voice with entrepreneurial insight. The University of Toronto’s School of Continuing Studies is offering The Writer As Entrepreneur, an intensive course running from May 1 to July 3, 2025, at the St. George campus.

Co-taught by Internet entrepreneur and author Neil Seeman and acclaimed writer and coach Dionne England, the course is designed for writers looking to navigate the evolving world of publishing with the tools of a modern entrepreneur.

Seeman, the author of Accelerated Minds and founder of Sutherland House Experts (SHE), brings a wealth of knowledge from the intersecting worlds of tech, publishing, and mental health advocacy. His approach to writing encourages authors to listen to their “quiet voice” while thinking boldly about audience and impact.

England, known for her engaging style and practical wisdom, serves as SHE’s “Chief Story Finder.” She adds a humorous and insightful touch to the course, helping students discover their unique storytelling strengths.

With the publishing landscape shifting rapidly, the course will explore key questions facing authors today: What publishing path is right for you? How do you align your message with your mission? And how can your leadership and life experience fuel your success as a writer?

The course also emphasizes self-promotion and audience development—two skills often overlooked by first-time writers. Seeman and England aim to empower students to not only complete their manuscripts but also confidently pitch their work to the right stakeholders.

Registration is now open at: learn.utoronto.ca
