Hi, Angela!
I just wanted to update you on (my situation). I took your advice and wrote to the CEO of (the publishing company), included my paperwork, and happily, it worked. It took about three weeks for them to “respond” by completing the bank transfer–no one apologized or even acknowledged receipt of my letter–but they finally deposited my payment on March 10th. Thank you so much for all your help and advice, and especially for that last bit of encouragement not to back down. Take care, and happy Easter!
–E.

I would like to write an ecookbook. What kind of cookbook is good to write or has this been done to death?

If you’ve ever assumed you can’t write for trade or technical magazines
because you know nothing about the industry, maybe my story will change
your mind…

Speaking of leaving the nest, we’re leaving in three weeks, heading south in the RV, and taking the business with us. Whoo hoo! The snow has slowed down dramatically and it looks like we’ll be able to get the RV to the shop for the pre-trip inspection.

specialty markets for writing
Does “one hour of writing time can increase your weekly income by at least $150” sound like a lyric from The Impossible Dream? Well, it isn’t – not if you write fillers. Writing fillers is an excellent way for beginners to break into print, or for established writers to boost their income.

Angela, your continually excellent and CLEAR, step-by-step Online Marketing articles are fantastic.
I was attempting to follow the instructions in today’s article, Subtly Promoting Your Book on Major News Sites, when I discovered something disappointing. I just had my website re-designed in regular format instead of flash. And, yes, I’m getting more traffic. BUT, when I type in the categories (such as Shanghai Jews on USA today, or even historical novels on Amazon), my book never comes up. Do you or Richard have any advice for me? Should I add some phrases to my website? Do you think I could learn to change my website myself instead of having to get in touch with (and pay) my designer?

One afternoon at the library, I searched the card catalog for books on work-at-home opportunities. Most of the books told stories of women who opened catering businesses from their homes or moms who sold afghans at craft fairs. Great for them, but me – I’m not so crafty. But I did find one book on starting a freelance writing business. Now writing – there was something I was good at.
