A couple of days ago I wrote The $4 Article Buyer which linked to Carson Brackney’s interview with a fellow in India who buys articles for four bucks or less. Mike Sieber commented, admitting he writes for this rate, more or less. I emailed him and he agreed to an email interview. Btw, Mike has […]
As many of you know, I’ve submitted nine book proposals about my self-published book, Powerfully Recovered! Today I realized that although I’ve heard from four – all negative – there are still three out there that I haven’t heard from. I checked and it’s been just about six weeks, which, in my opinion, is long […]
Book length manuscripts are strange things. They aren’t like blog entries, which are just a few paragraphs long in most cases. Nor are they like articles, which typically run 500 – 5,000 words or so, and can often be done in a day or a week or two.
Book manuscripts run 50,000 words or more and […]
I’d never put Halloween together with the ghostwriting I do, but this morning I heard an audio essay by Barbara Feinman-Todd titled It’s Time to Put Ghost Writing in its Place. Apparently she’s done a lot of ghostwriting and she’s giving it up!
If I understand the why, it’s because it somehow feels false to her. […]
44 Writing, Editing and Translation Jobs Today.
Why do I include translation jobs? Because in my mind, translation and writing and editing all work together. Of course, being a typical provincial citizen of the United States, I have only one language, but none-the-less, imo translation is part of the whole picture.
Write well and often, and translate […]
We’ve all seen the ads - “Writer wanted; write 20 original articles for ($2, $3, $4) each. Will be checked for plagersim.”
Carson Brackney, creator of Content Done Better and the Content Done Better Blog arranged an interview with one of the folks who offer these prices.
Now I’d like to see an interview, or do one […]
A client asked me to do some copywriting/copyediting on several web pages and he asked me to use Word’s track changes (under tools) so he could see what I am suggesting.
The theory is good, but I’m never sure the results are worth it. The manuscript is now all cluttered up with red lines and […]
49 New Writing and Editing Jobs just posted - looks like Wed’s low number was a fluke… we shall see.
I’m generally posting well over 100 freelance writing and editing jobs every week – and those are just jobs that, as near as I can tell, you can do in your home office or from the […]
Several days ago I posted about a copywriting class I’d signed up for. It’s taught by Mark Silver (Heart of Business) and we had our first class yesterday. I was totally blown away!
Yes, it’s about copywriting, but it’s way more than that. Mark is what I would call a Sufi Master – everything he does […]
28 new freelance writing and editing jobs today… way down from Monday.
You’d think that after several years of posting writing jobs I’d have some sense about the market… but I don’t. Do any of you have any idea why it’s so up and down? If you’ve got a theory, sensible or not, I’d love to […]
