Getting Started With Grant Writing By Marjorie Asturias-Lochlaer

Published on July 2, 2008

Grant writing can be a lucrative side business for freelancers seeking to supplement their income. Be forewarned, though: this isn’t just a matter of slapping together a few words about how great a particular agency is. Today’s donors are an especially savvy lot, with many demanding more measures of accountability than mere feel-good anecdotes.

I Need My High-Resolution Files From My Pod Publisher!

Published on July 2, 2008

I’ve written you before but I still have questions. My first book was published by (another POD publisher) and I’m not quite satisfied with some of the services I received for the price I paid. The experience has left me a little insecure and hesitant to try another publisher. One service they provided that was helpful in promoting the book were postcards and bookmarks. I haven’t read anything about your company providing them. Do you? If not, will the individual who’ll be designing the cover provide me with something I can take to a copier?

What I’ll Miss – Peanut M&M’s…

Published on June 25, 2008

Last week, I reported that I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis after almost a month of pain…and other symptoms that you really don’t want me to post here. Some of you wrote in that it’s a good thing I wasn’t diagnosed with diverticulosis. Unfortunately, I was. I didn’t post that last week because I was in a rush.

Media Kits: Perusing for Profit By Christine Venzon

Published on June 25, 2008

As writers, we naturally check a market’s writer’s guidelines before submitting material. And they usually answer all our questions regarding content, story length, and (ahem) payment. But not every publication is so kind as to share its guidelines on its website, or even for the asking. Even when it does, you may need more information to fine-tune a query or decide between one market and another. It could even be a new venue, without a stack of back issues or archives to read as market research.
Writers are members of the media. Why not check the publication’s media kit?

I Have A Diagnosis!

Published on June 18, 2008

I am writing this quickly because Richard is trying to get the issue out. Wanted to wait until after my Colonoscopy today (it was actually a Sigmoidostopy) to post this. After three weeks of frantic worrying, I finally have a diagnosis. I have diverticulitis. It requires a bit of a lifestyle change (different diet) but I can live with anything that isn’t life-threatening. So, we’re feeling very, very blessed today. Thanks sooooo much for all the well wishes and prayers!!! 🙂
