Wow! It\u2019s a big day. This is my 800th blog post. <\/p>\n
Now, what does an avid blogger who is serious about her mission write about in her 800th blog post? Hopefully, you realize that my primary mission is to help authors make better, more informed decisions throughout the process of writing, publishing and promoting their books. A secondary goal is to provide assistance to freelance article writers. <\/p>\n
For today\u2019s big blog, I decided to remind you of what you\u2019ll find when you visit Patricia Fry\u2019s Writing and Publishing Blog each day. Since November of 2005, I\u2019ve been bringing authors and freelance article writers resources, information, news, announcement, tips, techniques and pertinent anecdotes. I\u2019ve written on writing, preparing a book for publication, self-editing, locating and working with publishers\/agents\/editors, book promotion and other things related to producing and promoting a book and writing for publication.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve covered interview techniques, self-editing, how to conduct research, public speaking techniques, how to make your book more saleable, how to be a successful writers\u2019 conference attendee, tips for writing a book proposal, choosing a book cover, etc., as well as various book promotion activities\u2014getting book reviews, using news releases, how to sell more books at book festivals, getting your book into bookstores, article-writing for book promotion, piggyback marketing and so much more.<\/p>\n
If you missed any of the earlier posts, you are welcome to search them to locate information on specific topics. Much of what I share in my blog is also in my book, The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book<\/em><\/strong>\u2014only in a more organized, easy to use form. http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/rightway.html<\/a> <\/p>\n If you have a specific question about your writing project, email me here: PLFry620@yahoo.com. <\/p>\n Email me or leave a comment here if you have a request that I cover a certain topic in my blog.<\/p>\n I\u2019d also like to hear from those of you who have learned, grown, improved and maybe even succeeded in your goals as a result of what you\u2019ve read in this blog over the last five years.<\/p>\n Stick with me\u2014keep visiting my blog. I generally post daily (except on rare occasions when I am under the weather or traveling\u2014in which case, I will generally post every other day). On this schedule, we should be celebrating my 1,000th blog post sometime in January of 2011. <\/p>\n If you have a book in the works or in your hands or if you are interested in writing articles for magazines, hang with me for the next five years. I promise to continue offering the information and resources you require in order to experience success with your project.<\/p>\n As an 800th blog post gift, I\u2019d like to offer those who are interested a FREE copy of my latest ebook, The Successful Author\u2019s Handbook <\/em><\/strong>(2010). But I am offering it with a hitch. I want everyone who receives a copy of this ebook to report back to me if they gleaned anything useful from this book and specifically what it was.
