Angela/Richard/and Staff –
I just want to take a moment and say thank you for all your guidance and fine work while my book, “Adam Reborn: A Family Guide to Surviving a Traumatic Brain Injury,” was in your hands. To those writers out there who may be reading this now, during my son’s accident it was a terrible time. Writing the book was a very difficult time because I was reliving the accident again. (Tied to the whipping post for a second go round.) However, I assure you, dear writers, that if you have any interest in Print on Demand (POD), your time with Booklocker will be a smooth road to travel. For those of us who love the written word, but can be “computer challenged,” Angela and Richard and their team are with you every step of the way.

writing career advice
It’s tempting to put querying aside while you’re working on assignments, and then pick it up again when the work runs out. The problem is that, by then, it’s too late. You end up with a gap in your assignments – and your income.

I have many friends asking me for a signed copy of the book when it is published. As I have thought about this, I need to ask for advice.
Do I order the books and sell them? Do I direct them to a particular bookstore and ask the store to order so many copies?
I want to have a book signing for them as there were many who supported me in this effort and I am not sure of the best course to accomplish this.
Thank you in advance for your input.

When I first started my freelance writing career, I let one of freelance writing’s most lucrative markets escape me because I ignored the potential of the inspirational and religious markets…

Writers are often a great source of support for each other. Few professions have so many members willing to educate others in their field. The experience and expertise of other writers can help you at all levels of your career.
Joining writers groups and professional organizations, participating in online forums, writing your own blogs and following other author blogs, and getting to know people at writing classes and conferences, are all traditional ways to become acquainted with other authors.
However, networking also involves giving back. Share your knowledge with other authors and offer them encouragement and inspiration…

There are so many sites with ads that seem desperate to hire writers. I think most of them are content mills. How can I easily spot one?

When I was a young writer, I was impatient. Even the idea of immediate success took too long. Why should I have to wait? I had the passion. Words poured from me. What I did not have was the one thing time alone could give me: life experience. I wanted to be the next Great American Novelist, but I only had other people’s lives, ideas and words.

Most of the house is packed up and Richard rented a large U-Haul trailer and took two loads to the new house last weekend. They’re all stacked up in the garage right now. The painters did a great job but we had to call another cleaning crew in. The first one didn’t do a great job. The house looks super now so we’re free to start moving furniture. Everybody is SO excited about moving the old piano one more time…
