Announcing Wednesday Writer Tips!

Writers, it's time to share your favorite online (and offline!) resources with your fellow freelancers.  As you've probably noticed, a good number of the small- and home-based business owners I've interviewed here at SmallBizMentor are writers, and that's not purely by chance.  Your fellow entrepreneurs are authors who choose to market themselves and run their careers like a business (rather than hope that their Great American Novel just somehow makes it to print) or they are business people who understand the importance of becoming an expert in their fields...so they've taken the time to write books and articles about their area of expertise to build their businesses.

In honor of the "share and share alike" attitude of some of these writers, and to encourage and support those of you who are just starting out, I've decided to declare Wednesdays my Writer Tip day.  Each Wednesday you'll be able to find links to websites and suggested reading lists that will cater to your needs as an author.  Don't be shy...email me (Melonie{at}SmallBizMentor{dot}com) with your favorite titles and websites so I can list them.  Be sure to include your own website or book purchasing information so I can give you a shout out!

That said, here's your first set of Wednesday Writer Tips to check out:

Don't forget to check out Workerette.com...I'll be posting tips for women writers there each Wednesday too!

I recently joined the National Association of Women Writers (NAWW) and was aware of several other groups that cater specifically to female authors.  I was not, however, aware that there are multiple sites and groups focusing on writers who ar... [Read More]

This is a really useful idea. I run a club for writers and illustrators, and we feel that the world is changing around us - print on demand, small press, independent press and vanity press all running into each other, and so many 'services' for sale - writers need info from other writers, whom they can trust.

Thank you, Kay! Be sure to tell your members to send me suggestions/recommendations for their favorite resources. I'm sure our other UK visitors would appreciate it!

Good idea, kudos to you.

Good find with SyndicatedWriters.com - thanks for the tip.

You've got a hooked Wednesday reader here now ;-)

Thank you, Martin! Glad to hear (read) the links were of use to you. Just popped by your site and I'm hoping you find a way to start posting more prior to June...e-books are where I want to be come MAY. *hint hint* C'mon...you know you wanna post something else over there for our freelancers to read! Admit it.

Melonie,

Yep, you're right, I admit it ;-)... I'm itching to get back into it.

Have got a bunch of posts lined up, building up some interviews and other goodies, but with outside work committments I'm full on just getting the site ready for a June 1 launch - seeing I'm giving myself 12-18 months to succeed with this I'm going to launch this thing right.

Come on, you can wait til June - I'm not planning to disappoint :-)

Alright Martin...since you're promising 1 June, I'll take it. I'll call it a belated birthday present to myself, I guess. Sounds like you've got some great things in store. Best of luck on the site building; totally looking forward to seeing all the "goodies"!
