Master this muscular prose and you’ll become a better writer who can say more with less. You’ll open new markets for the short, newsworthy articles that populate publications of all sizes and subjects.
Thanks for the info on the songs. How about quotes from speeches? Does the same rule apply if I use a famous quote from a person who is still alive? Thank you.

You can quote people briefly (note how the newspapers quote speeches liberally). However, you may encounter trouble if you use someone’s quotes to make a point in your article that is NOT about the speech itself. If you make it appear the person is somehow endorsing your ideas in your article, that could get you into trouble if they have not given their permission for you to use their words in that context.
It’s more than a jungle out there; it is a battle – with weapons to gather, a plan to formulate, followers to cultivate, walls to breach, and territory to establish. So where does this POD writer go from here? Well, here is my “battle story” and where it has taken me.
