Daniel Horgan who not only writes for USA Today and other newspapers, but reads this blog, has written a great article called: Dr Seuss’ Lorax’s plea: Stop cutting trees! He’s also got some pages over at Hub. I’m looking forward to his blog!
This is a great example of what I think of as writer’s power […]
The query letter is how you catch the attention of an editor, agent or publisher. The query is a short, pithy sales document that demonstrates your writing skill and your specific idea in a way that makes the reader want more. It’s not terribly difficult - here are the basics:

Dawud Miracle, blogger, web designer and marketing guy has a nifty post called Be Careful Who You Ask For Help With Your Business. As I read his cautions about how to hire someone to help you with your writing business, it occurred to me that every point can be turned around and become part of […]
