It\u2019s official! At least as far as the AP Stylebook <\/em>is concerned. They say that \u201cwebsite\u201d is now correct\u2014not Website or Web site, but website. I love it, since that\u2019s how I have been getting away with writing this term for a couple of years now.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m often corrected. \u201cWeb\u201d must be capitalized, I\u2019m told. And I try to change my ways for specific projects. But now I have permission to continue using \u201cwebsite\u201d without guilt. How about you? What is your word of choice? If you use the Chicago Manual of Style <\/em>(which I am more inclined to follow for the most part), you\u2019ll use Web site. <\/p>\n

This Week\u2019s Successes<\/strong>
\nThings are popping here in the Matilija Press offices. The publisher finally contacted me about my book promotion book manuscript. He said he is most interested in publishing it if I am willing to make some additions. I agreed and have asked for his deadline so I can schedule the work on my end. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had a couple of article requests\u2014the paying kind\u2014not those freebies I do for the sake of my business. I submit a lot of articles purely to help educate authors and freelance writers with the ulterior motive of getting noticed by those who could use my editorial services, my online courses or my books, for example. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also been invited to submit my resume and presentation points to a committee for a large book marketing conference. I\u2019m hoping for a slot in their fall of 2011 slate.<\/p>\n

Book Promotion Opportunity From SPAWN<\/strong>
\nOh, good news! We\u2019re going to print color copies of the online SPAWN Catalog of Members\u2019 Books and Services to hand out at various events I\u2019ll be attending this year. If you want your book to be noticed by hundreds of people in Los Angeles and three other locations throughout California as well as New York and possibly a few places in between, here\u2019s your opportunity to join SPAWN and buy a catalog listing. Membership is $65\/year and the catalog listing is $35\/year. <\/p>\n

Your Writing Job<\/strong>
\nDid you find the list of potential writing jobs and job directories I posted yesterday useful? I hope you are spending your weekend in search of paying jobs. Rest and relaxation is important. Spending time with family is important. But so is doing what we can do personally to boost the economy. This involves hiring, spending and earning. If we get off of our duffs and get creative in our search for work\u2014if we change our mindsets from a hopeless poverty mentality to one of faith and abundance\u2014things will change. I challenge you to respond to at least three job opportunities and then report back to me.<\/p>\n
