We’re putting the finishing touches on SPAWNews<\/em> this long weekend. SPAWNews is the official newsletter for SPAWN (Small Publishers, Artists and Writers Network). http:\/\/www.spawn.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It’s a process. Our newsletter editor, Sandy, in St. Louis, compiles the newsletter and includes her editorial. Several of us contribute things such as book reviews, Q and A, contests, opportunities, announcements and relevant articles. Then two of us proof the newsletter before it is handed over to the techi gal who puts it online. This month there are over a dozen events and contests reported. The book we’ve reviewed this month is our newest give-away book (FREE book for joining SPAWN). It’s Mark Levine’s, The Fine Print of Self-Publishing<\/em>. <\/p>\n

So type on over to SPAWN during the next few days and take a look at our September SPAWNews<\/em> (it should be posted by Monday or Tuesday&#8212September 1 or 2). http:\/\/www.spawn.org<\/a>. Click on “Newsletter.” Read the September edition and some of those in our archives.<\/p>\n

Join SPAWN and you will have access to the even meatier SPAWN Market Update<\/em>&#8212a more personalized, more valuable, beneficial and important newsletter designed specifically for the serious writer\/author\/artist. <\/p>\n

I subscribe to a lot of newsletters and I have never seen one like the SPAWN Market Update<\/em>. I originally designed it based on my own needs and requirements as a professional freelance writer and author. And I strive each month to gather the information, resources and opportunities you can use in order to grow your freelance writing or art business or succeed as a published author. You must join SPAWN to access this newsletter: http:\/\/www.spawn.org<\/a>
\nClick on “Join SPAWN Now!” It’s $45\/year and, as I said in a recent blog post, you can earn or save many times this amount after responding to some of the opportunities, etc. in just one edition of the SPAWN Market Update<\/em>. I’d like to make a one-time offer to my blog readers: <\/p>\n

Free Offer<\/strong>
\nContact me with “SPAWN Market Update” in the subject line and I’ll email you a copy of our September edition of this jam-packed newsletter. PLFry620@yahoo.com. <\/p>\n

I sound kind of jazzed up about SPAWN this morning, don’t I? Well, I am. There have just been so many authors helped through the information and resources they’ve discovered at the site, in the newsletters and through our forum and SPAWNDiscuss group. And then there are those who say, “I wish I had found SPAWN before I made all of those bad decisions with regard to my publishing project.”<\/p>\n

Get Back to Your Writing Work<\/strong>
\nThis weekend is the unofficial (or maybe it is the official) end of summer. The kids are back in school. Your summer vacations are just a memory. And many of you are looking forward to getting back to work writing your book, promoting your book or pumping up your freelance writing business. I have some articles on my site that you might find helpful in meeting your particular goals. Here are a few:<\/p>\n

How to Finally Build a Freelance Career or Finish That Writing Project<\/em>. http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/articles\/write_freelance.htm<\/a> <\/p>\n

8 Steps to Getting Your Articles Published<\/em>.
\n http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/articles\/8steps.htm<\/a> <\/p>\n

Choose the Right Venue for Your Work<\/em>
\n http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/articles\/publish_writing.htm<\/a> <\/p>\n

There are dozens and dozens more articles at my site and at the SPAW site. So take some time this weekend and go on a learning spree.<\/p>\n

Do You Need a Good Editor?<\/strong>
\nThis is also a good time to think about hiring an editor for your article or book manuscript. Don’t go it alone. Every author needs an editor. Send your project to me for an evaluation and estimate. You won’t be sorry. This one decision could make or break your chances as a successfully published author.<\/p>\n
