I’ve covered a lot of topics, issues, scenarios, examples, experiences, processes and ideas in the last nearly 450 blog posts. I’ve attempted to educate, inform and entertain you with each and every post.
While some of my posts are inspired by the comments, experiences, questions, mistakes and successes of you, my clients, my colleagues and my customers, I’m on my own when it comes to selecting other topics. I strive to choose topics of interest to you as well as those subjects you need to know more about. Hopefully, you are drinking in the information, ideas and resources I present. What about those themes that you believe don’t apply to you? Please don’t discard them. If you plan to write a book or establish a career as a freelance writer, you will, most likely, need to know this stuff sooner or later.
I have to tell you that denial, in this business, can be deadly to a potential career. So I recommend studying every blog post and filing many of them away for future reference.
Of course, there are other methods of collecting or attaining the materials you need in order to succeed as an author of freelance writer. How? Through my books: http://www.matilijapress.com

I also recommend that you join SPAWN (Small Publishers, Artists and Writers Network) http://www.spawn.org

You’ll also be able to join in on our online SPAWN Discussion Group and discuss your questions and suggestions with other authors and freelance writers.
