Freelance Writers and the Telephone

I happen to love talking with clients, both old and new, on the phone. But I was reminded that’s not true for every freelance writer when I read CalalystBlogger Jennifer’s post called: The Freelancer’s Guide to Giving Good Phone
Jennifer doesn’t really like the phone, but she’s figured out what she needs to do to use […]

We All Need Editors!

The nature of blogging is it’s off the cuff. This blog, like many others, even most, doesn’t have a copy editor that checks for mistakes and typos before it’s published.
Now, anyone who knows me knows I’m not a copy editor! My spelling is creative at best. Of course, computers catch many errors, but not all […]

With practice and maybe the luck of finding a few good editors, our confidence increases, […]

Getting The Most From Firefox For Writers

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been using Firefox as my browser for years. I don’t much like the way Bill Gates and Microsoft ran Netscape out of business by bundling Internet Explorer way back when and I always tend to favor the underdog. Of course, Firefox is hardly an underdog, but…

A President’s Day Celebration

You just never know what an editor will do! Kelly Erb is what’s known around b5media as a Channel Editor. Editor is a bit of a misnomer because she doesn’t actually edit - all the mistakes are mine. I think of her as the head honcho of the Business Channel. By any title, and she […]

Starting the New Project

Wow! A brand new ghostwriting project to begin today. Actually, we’ve already got a working table of contents; we’ve met for a number of hours to give me a sense of the author; I have a ton of notes, but I’m still, well, nervous.
