We have all been there. We have poured over websites for writers, submission directories like Writers Market, and WritersWeekly.com to find that next freelance opportunity. There are many magazines to write for, both online and off, especially now that the Internet has blossomed and bloomed, but the trouble comes in when writers try to find actual paying work…
Can I use my publishing company name if I go through BookLocker or another print on demand firm?
My first picture book finally found a publisher! For me, the years of visualizing the story in my head like a movie, and the arduous writing and rewriting paid off. I believed in my dream (though it was a bit dusty). One day, I searched for a publisher. Yet, a thought nagged me…
Unfortunately, we weren’t the only ones who were doing their Thanksgiving shopping on Saturday…
Thanks for how easy and pleasant you have made this process for me!

A couple years after creating my garden service, I spent a long, dormant winter crafting and conniving an effective means of training my clientele to eventually take over my job one day.

I have a short story written by my late father. He was a talented writer and had many short stories he had written. I would like to submit one of his stories for publishing under my father’s name. I didn’t know if there would be any legal reason I would not be able to.
Back in 2011 when I started freelancing, I would have never imagined that I would be at the level that I am at now. While I still am not reaching all of my freelance writing goals, I must say that over these past three years I am nowhere near where I started…
While my bedroom closet may be in disarray (that’s an understatement!), and the laundry may be backed up for three days, I am very organized with regards to business, paperwork/bills and…Christmas. Yes, really. It’s a bit of an obsession for me…
Angela,
Thanks for putting Twenty-One Steps of Courage at the front of the cover design examples. I have had so many compliments on that cover, and always refer any authors who ask about it to you (and Todd). Because we used a real Soldier on the front, readers often think the story is non-fiction. I love that! Their remarks validate my choice to make sure the novel was as factual as possible.
