This is tricky… there’s a fairly well known blogger who has gotten death threats in her comments… very ugly. As I read through first her post about it and then some of her follow-up I gather that the more bloggers protest and point to her the more threats she’s getting… so I won’t.
But death [...]
I just posted 47 New Writing and Editing Jobs.
That brings our total number of writing, editing and translation jobs to 146 for the week. I wish I knew if that represents 5% or 10% or 25% of the total number of freelance writing jobs available jobs around the world… I’m sure it’s a fairly small [...]
One of the challenges with ghostwriting is timing projects in such a way that payment is more or less smooth. I try to set up monthly payments when I contract for a book, and that works, except when it doesn’t.
For example:
One of my contracts needs to be renegotiated because conditions changed. I won’t know [...]

You all know I generally love working at home. Running my freelance writing business from the studio where I live is usually perfect… usually.
This morning started almost perfectly. We had a nifty little storm with some light rain that sounded lovely. Then there was just quiet for awhile. Gradually the neighbors woke up and [...]
Okay, I’m bragging… my desk is close to tidy. Someone suggested that while a cluttered desk may be a sign of a cluttered mind, a clean desk actually opened up space for your writing business to expand.
I have no idea if that’s true or not, but the idea of cleaning up my desk so my [...]
Mike Sieber, blogger at Adventures In Copywriting (yes, the same guy I was talking about yesterday) asks Should Writers be Certified? He’s not sure, but he’s wondering if some sort of formal training or certification would bring more predictable fees, at least when writing for larger companies and corporations.
My answer is a loud and resounding [...]
Just posted 43 new writing and editing jobs.
You’ll find an exception to my “freelance only” rule today. The first job is actually a 3 month gig, but it sounded interesting enough to post. I’m thinking there’s a freelancer out there who might be perfect for a short term writing job.

For a long time I considered any writer who got paid for their writing to be a professional writer. It was a simple definition that worked will until the internet and Google adwords.
With the push for search engine optimized articles at rates like $1 and $2 for 500 words, I have to rethink what I [...]
Imagine my surprise when I got one last rejection on my self-published book, Powerfully Recovered! (If you’re curious, I began this saga way back in early September of last year.)
This one is a personal rejection, complete with an apology for taking so long to respond… my sense is they were really thinking about it, but [...]
