Several weeks ago a potential ghostwriting client called. We chatted about the book he wants to have written and I asked him to provide some information. It took some time, but yesterday everything I’d asked for and more arrived.
I spent some time going through his material, decided that this is a project I’d really like […]
Just as it makes sense to define your ideal reader, it also makes sense to define your ideal client. Although it’s tempting to think you can write for anyone, it’s simply not true. For example, I have absolutely no experience with screen writing. Sure, it’s a learnable skill, but I’m not even interested in it.

Our clients look at us as experts, and we are, more or less. After all, we know how to get words on paper in a way that others find pleasing or informative or entertaining or interesting to read. That doesn’t mean we get everything right.

Over in our forum we got into a brief discussion about telephones and how we use them. My stance has always been that since I pay for my phone, I can decide when to answer it. Way back when, not answering a phone meant just ignoring the ring, but today, with answering machines, caller ID […]
Much to my amazement we have 33 new writing and editing jobs on this Memorial Day.

Reading is such an important part of writing. I’m curious – what magazines do you read, and why? Here’s my list:
Atlantic Monthly – I like the writing and the liberal view, plus I pick up computer tips once and awhile.
Harpers – This one is tough going at the moment because they are so very good […]
Wow… look at this! I’ve known it was coming, but not when. Yes, The Golden Pencil has a new look. The goal is to make it easier for you to find what you’re looking for. For example, the categories are much easier to find now.

Hello, I’ve been attempting to get myself into the world of freelance writing and have sent out numerous emails responding to ads on various websites. To this date I have still not heard anything back from any of the companies. I generally respond to new ads (within a couple days of posting) and post […]
