The Third Stage of Writing: The Promotional Stuff

Victoria Lane — Wed, 24 Dec 2014 05:05:12 +0000

Sometimes as writers we need to push ourselves to do things we don’t necessarily feel comfortable with. I’m not talking about the content or the writing process here, but the stuff that comes after publication. The promotional side of things.

Recommended Sites for Guest Blogging

Women Writers, Women's Books — Sun, 27 May 2012 19:04:24 +0000

One of the first rules of stepping out into the world as a writer and author is, “Get a Blog”. Many reasons for it. Many. Writing practice. Nothing like daily writing to hone our skills. Building content. Getting more content for people to find in searches. Developing a readership. Not as easy as it could […]

Breaking a Glass Ceiling

Kristen James — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:30:19 +0000

You’ve probably heard of THE glass ceiling. There is another glass ceiling that everyone encounters that has nothing to do with gender; it’s a glass ceiling of negative beliefs.

Three years ago, on April 28, 2008, when this writer started her first ongoing blog, even posting anything on the Internet in a blog felt like speaking in front of a crowd of hundreds, thousands, even millions. Truthfully, unless I was writing about something extremely topical, and wrote about it as soon as the news […]
