Do Freelance Writers Need to Be Starving Artists or Give
Their Work Away?
The answer is NO! But how many writers accept no or penny-paying
writing assignments in exchange for exposure that won’t pay
the car note or buy groceries?
Next class starts November 6th.

PUT YOUR BEST PHRASE FORWARD!
All writers need a third eye before submitting a
manuscript for consideration and I happen to have TWO
eagle eyes, ready to go to work for you, 24/7.
I have honed my craft for over 20 years, have sold two
novels and many shorter pieces, have edited and proofed
countless articles and book-length mss (non-fiction, light
technical, manuals, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, adventure,
children's, anything in English), have ghostwritten novels
of 320+ pages and in record time. For more information.

B u s i n e s s o f W r i t i n g :
Increase your writing productivity with emphasis on freelance
writing.
Do you think freelancers in the U.K. have it any better? I don't
think so.
Canadian freelance writers now have more protection over
their writing that is repurposed by publishers.
As we noted in our theme for this month; the subject that
compels the writer, makes the writer. This is the story of
an vet whose blog from Iraq became a favorite.
=========================
B u s i n e s s o f P u b l i s h i n g :
How are independent bookstores coping with the Internet?
A brief on the new Sony e-reader. Make your own decision about this.
If you want to make an argument about why the newspaper should not
die or, at least, what it's value has been read this editorial by
Tim Rutten.
"What is staring everybody in the face is the evaporation of journalism's
financial foundation into Internet air..." An opinion piece by Eric
Alterman.
What is the relation between scholars and Wikipedia? Despite
skepticism there is support for the online venture and its
efforts to fact-check. The problem is that something as
open-source like that is vulnerable to any kind of attack
for personal or business reasons. Not everyone on the Net
is a good guy. And again, why? I go to Wikipedia for short
definitions but I could just as well go to any number of
online sources. What's the point?
Microsoft, like Google, is going to digitize all the books
in the world or attempt to. To quote the CEO of the
scanning company the "mission (is) to enable the moving of 560
years of backlog from books to bytes." Without, we should
add, contributing one original piece of writing to the mix.

The Acumen for Survival and Advancement
by G. David Schwartz
A series of motifs in literature allows us to say, as a
general principle as well as an experiential possibility, no
one wants to be the younger brother. In folktales, the
narrative perspective is generally either told from the point
of view of the older brother, or else the younger brother
is telling the tale of the younger brothers' death.
