Erin Casey replied to Jeff Melvin's discussion Looking for Article Feedback - in the group Write It Forward - REAL Success & Profit for Writers!"Hi Jeff,
Nice job on the post. You have good info and the bullets/numbers help make it easy to scan (which is how most people read web content). My two suggestions for the next post would be to go shorter - this one is 950 words. A better word count…"
Erin Casey replied to Tim Bishop's discussion book order fulfillment services in the group Write It Forward - REAL Success & Profit for Writers!"Hi Tim,
Have you priced what it would cost to do a color section (pictures separate from the text)? I don't think PODs will do that, but someone must, b/c I see quite frequently. Also, I wonder about places like Westbow press, Thomas…"

Are You a Wannabe Traveler?

Do you love the idea of travel?
Does the thought of taking a weekend or a week to focus on your writing seem like a dream?
When my business partner and I were planning our writers’ retreat in London, so many people commented, “I’d love to do that, but I can’t because….
“I can’t afford it.”
“I have to be home for family members.”
“I don’t have a…

What would you do if you weren’t too busy?
If you had a free hour… or even a free day, what would you do with it? You may imagine that you’d read all the books and magazines that have been collecting dust in your home. Or maybe you’d rent the entire season of your favorite show from Netflix and watch nine episodes in a row. Or maybe…

Does that sentence need a comma?
How do I write a press release? A book proposal? A novel?
Is it complement or compliment? Continuous or continual?
I write something almost every day. And almost as frequently, questions like those listed above cause me to pause. Sometimes it takes only a second to…

Gregg Summers said… Thanks Erin! I am just getting started and trying to work out how I want to enter the world of writing. I have about 25% of a book written about my wife and me and our personal story but fell into doubt about how it was going or what should be said. I also would love to start a blog related to restaurants, food, etc. and wonder what would be the best steps to do that in a way that is impactful and done right the first time. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Chris Peek said… Hey Erin,
Today, I found a Write It Forward discussion from last year about finding work as a freelance writer, and I saw that, at the time, were interested in finding additional web writers. Is this still a need that you have? While I've been consistently writing for over a year, I'm looking to expand into the world of paid freelance work. I'd be glad to help you in any way that I can. Thanks for any direction you can provide.
