FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
=================================================================
Sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I were a politician. Not for
the lifestyle, not for their wages (though they would be nice) and
certainly not for the job, but for their perspective of time. A
week may well be a long time in politics, but in the world of
writing weeks fly rapidly by
and before you know it, another month has come and gone and it's
time for me to think of something to put in the editorial.
Moira did warn me that this was the hardest bit. She was right.
But she also told me that I would often find inspiration from our
subscribers and guess what? She was right again.
That is why I want to begin this newsletter with a really big
thank you to everyone who sent me lovely words of welcome! I
really appreciate them. It's not easy stepping up to take on
Moira's role and I want to thank you for being patient with me
whilst I get to grips with it.
I also want to apologise for the technical problems we had with
last month's newsletter. We've had a lot of gremlins recently and
Moira and I are working together to try and sort them out; and to
sort the new-look site.
I also want to apologise to any of you who've sent in a submission.
Replies to submissions are very likely much slower than they were
with Moira, for which all I can do is apologise and say that I
will speed up as I get more used to the role.
Speaking of submissions, I am actively seeking them. I want
Writing-World to remain the definitive writing resource and so, I
need more articles. But please, before you send in your query, do
check our archives. We have an extensive archive of articles and
columns and will not, obviously, buy an article on a topic that
we've already covered. If your article covers similar ground but
in a new or different way, let me know that in your email and show
me how.
One area where you won't need to check before submitting is our
new section: Commercial Corner! Yes, we're adding a new section to
our resources, one that covers the huge and profitable area of
corporate and commercial writing. If you're not sure what
commercial writing is, then check out the article below. I will
definitely need some new material for this section.
If you want to submit, for commercial corner or any other section
of the site, you can email me with a query or a submission on spec
and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Complete guidelines
can be found at:
http://www.writing-world.com/admin1/guidelines.shtml
Please note, however that I will not reply to emails that are just
plain rude and bad mannered. I try to be polite and helpful in
all my replies. I know what it is like to have a piece of work
rejected. I've been there lots of times and it still
happens too. It goes with the job. But, and it's a big but, I've
never yet taken this out on an editor. If your email is rude and
abusive, I won't be buying your work. Not now, not ever.

GOOGLE BANS ESSAY-WRITNG ADS

Google have banned all advertisements for essay-writing services

attempt to cut down on plagiarism by college students and to live
up to its commitment to their 'do no evil' policy, the company
will no longer carry advertisements for essay writing, academic
paper writing or sale of pre-written theses, essays and term

BOOK STORE OWNER SETS FIRE TO HIS BOOKS
---------------------------------------
It is getting increasingly hard for local book stores to compete
with the larger chain stores and the internet as a sad tale from
Missouri shows. A bookstore owner in Missouri was so desperate
after failing sales that he set fire to his stock. Tom Wayne, who
spent ten years building up his book collection for his store,
Prospero's books, started the fire after sales hit an all time
low and he couldn't even give away his books to thrift stores or
libraries. The fire raged for an hour outside his store in
Kansas City, before the fire department arrived. Mr Wayne
intends to burn the remaining 20,000 books as soon as he
receives the necessary permits.

-----------------------------------------------------
Truth may well be stranger than fiction, but in an attempt to

Department has asked a group of science fiction writers to help
them work out what future terrorist weapons and methods of attack
could be. The group of writers, called Sigma, last met with the
Department in the 1990s when they talked about what life could be
like in a post-nuclear age. Sigma, whose motto is "Science
Fiction in the National Interest", has such well known authors as
Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, Greg Bear and Arlan Andrews among

THE INQUIRING WRITER
=================================================================
by Dawn Copeman (editorial@writing-world.com)
Last month I wanted to know how you manage your writing life with
paying the bills. I wanted to know if you had abandoned your
plan of becoming a novelist or if you dabble in all sorts of
writing to make ends meet? Do you work part-time and write
part-time, or do you work full-time and write in you spare time?
Have you thrown caution to the wind and given up your job to
pursue your writing dream? Basically, I wanted to know how you
fulfil your need to write and your need for food and shelter.
Unsurprisingly, perhaps, given the topic nature, we only had two
replies to this question. I understand, we live in increasingly
hard times and no-one ever feels really comfortable talking about
money. But the two writers who did reply have found a way to
live by writing, so I've decided to share their stories direct
with you.
Penny Hozy has found an unusual and somewhat extreme way to
balance living and writing. She explains: "'Writing and money'is
the story of my life. I began writing my first novel in 1984 and
was finally published in 2004. My second novel was published in
2005 (both as S.P. Hozy). In those intervening 20 years I
desperately tried to earn enough money to buy time to write. And
it's not just the writing that requires a lot of time, it's also
submitting your manuscript(s) over and over again and searching
for a publisher. I have been a freelancer since 1977, first as a
sound editor for films, and now, for the last decade or so, as a
book editor and indexer.A precarious lifestyle for anyone, but I
initially liked the fact that I had 'down' time in which I could
live off the money I earned and write full time.Except that time
just kept getting more expensive and my earning power kept
diminishing.
"Finally, aboutthree years ago, exhausted from the struggle and
the stress, I decided to leave my own country (Canada), where I
could no longer afford to buy time, and move to Thailand, where,
thanks to modern technology and the Internet, I can continue to
work as an editor and indexer for many of my old clients. Except
now, instead of juggling five jobs and deadlines, I do one job at
a time, trying to limit my paid work hours to 3 or 4 a day, or
sometimes none at all! I have reduced my expenses by two-thirds,
reduced the worry and stress to almost nothing, and have
completed my third novel and begun my fourth. But not without
some sacrifice. My friends and family are thousands of miles away
(but there's always Skype and e-mail) and I comfort myself by
saying I have fewer distractions (which is true). I no longer
live in my own house but in a small studio apartment in Bangkok.
I don't drive a car, don't have a dishwasher or a washer/dryer,
and don't have a bathtub. Did I mention Idon't even have a
kitchen?
"Not for everyone, I know. But with the birthdays adding up on
one side of the ledger and 'time left' dwindling on the other,
drastic measures were called for. It's really about making
choices all along the way. And trying not to drop the most
important ball -- what you really want to do with your life."
That is a good question, Penny. But what about those of us who
can't up sticks and move, those of us who, for whatever reason,
are tied to staying where we are, is it possible for us to make a
living out of writing?
"Good question," wrote Joe Cooke, who is managing to write and
survive and thinks this is down to his PLAN. I'll let Joe
explain: "My love for writing has made me certifiably
unemployable. I just love working for myself too much. I probably
need some kind of support group, but I'm enjoying my denial. My
parents (God bless 'em) can't understand why I don't get a 'real'
job.
"I'm still waiting for that big publishing contract, but
meantime, my freelance work is keeping us afloat (mostly.) I just
keep dogging away at it. The more I do it, the better I get, and
the more money comes in. Trade publications pay the best and if
you create raving fans, they keep buying material month after
month.
"I have discovered this though - the key to making money is to
have a PLAN that integrates these fourelements: something you are
Passionate about, something for which there is a Lack of adequate
supply, something you have the Ability to provide and something
for which there is a recognized Need. When those four key factors
intersect, you will find success. If any one of them is missing,
you will languish. It doesn't matter if it's fiction,
non-fiction, ad copy or soap-making."
Thought provoking stuff! Try it out, you never know, it might
work for you.
Now recently I had to travel to a wedding by train and I also
needed to do some writing. Now whilst I had my laptop with me,
my five year old claimed that to play her 'pony' game, to watch
DVDs etc – well it was a long journey. So I did something I
haven't done for years – I used a pen and paper.
Surprisingly, I found that I was taking more time over my work,
really searching for the right phrase or word and that my
inspiration seemed to go into overdrive; so much so that at times
my hand had difficulty keeping up with my thoughts. On that one
journey I wrote two draft versions of articles and some press
release work. When I got back to my pc, I found they didn't need
much editing, just typing up. So what I want to know this month
is: Do you still use the pen and paper or long-hand method of
writing? If so, when? Do you write entire books/articles in
long-hand before transferring them to a computer? Do you find it
sparks your creativity? Does your work need much editing when
you transfer it to the computer? Do you think it makes any
difference at all to how we write or is it all in the mind?
Email me with your responses and the subject line "long-hand" to
editorial@writing-world.com
Till next time,
Dawn

FIVE UNUSUAL PLACES TO LOOK FOR ARTICLE IDEAS
===================================================================
by Chryselle D"Silva Dias
Every writer knows that ideas for articles are everywhere around
us. Books, websites and magazines on writing tell us to seek
inspiration from our lives and the world we live in. To invite the
muse, we"re asked to make lists of our hobbies, life experiences
and the topics we dearly want to write about.
We do all that and yet find ourselves often staring at a blank
page wondering if there is anything left to write about. Stuck for
inspiration and deadlines brewing, we blame it on "writer"s block".
If you are having trouble finding ideas for an article or a
non-fiction submission, here are five under-your-noses places that
could spark off some much needed brainwaves:
1. Forums:
----------
Go where your target audience is and find out what is it they need
to know. Web forums and message boards are two great places that
new and experienced users frequent. Every kind of hobby, trade or
occupation has a forum on the internet. If you are writing
non-fiction, this is a ready-made breeding ground for article
ideas. Forums are buzzing with activity as users post questions,
find answers and seek information. They also give you insight into
current topics in the field. Whatever it is you are interested in
writing about; chances are that there is a forum on it.
2. Editorial Calendars:
-----------------------
If you would like to write for a certain magazine or website and
are struggling for find something "suitable" to pitch to them, get
hold of their Editorial calendar. Also known as the "Advertisers
Pack" or "Media Kit", this is a gold mine of information for the
freelance writer. You may think that as a writer you have no use
for rate cards or ad copy deadlines but hold on! Look beyond the
prices and the page sizes. Editorial calendars and advertisers
guidelines often have information on proposed themes for the year
and deadlines for submissions. That gives you fertile soil to
generate any ideas within their themes. If you're lucky, you may
also find a detailed listing of special issues along with what
they're hoping to feature.
Media Packs also give you information on the publications reader
profile, what they want the magazine to represent and circulation
figures. This is vital information for a freelancer and saves you
a lot of money in sample copies to study a potential market.
As an example of such information, take a look at this media kit
for "The Lady" (http://www.lady.co.uk/misc/lady-media-pack.pdf). Along
with the information on their reader profiles and geographical
break-up, you also get a whole list of special issues for the year.
Ideas from this list can be used to pitch to "The Lady" or you
can use those ideas for other publications.
3. Search Engines:
------------------
Everybody has questions, including potential readers. With the
advent of websites like Yahoo! Answers, writers now have access to
hundreds of possible article openings. The website
(http://answers.yahoo.com) has topics bundled under "Categories",
resolved and open questions, and even a "Best of Answers". These
can all be potential leads for a story or article.
For example, if you write about parenting, a quick look at the
"Resolved questions" section on Yahoo! Answers shows questions on
childhood obesity, when to tell a child he"s adopted, and dealing
with toddler tantrums. That"s three ideas for articles already!
4. Magazine Classifieds:
------------------------
As freelance writers we are reminded over and over that targeted
ideas work better than a random pitch to a magazine or newspaper.
While you may have access to the editorial guidelines of a
publication, nothing gives you better insight into readership
profile than the classifieds. With advertising bringing in the
bulk of the revenue, ads are always carefully targeted towards
the readership. Studying the ads will always give you a good idea
as to what the editor is looking for and who is reading the
magazine. Ads for stair-lifts, assisted living and holiday homes
in Europe will hint at senior readers who have possibly retired
and have money to spend. Magazines for an audience of young
parents are likely to have advertising from fashion houses, health
food brands, and child related products. Study the advertising and
think about its intended audience. What kind of article would be
of interest to them?
Every magazine has its own unique branding. Look at the classifieds
and you will be able to come up with ideas targeted to each
individual publication. That"s a sure-fire way of becoming an
editor"s favorite freelancer!
5. Press releases:
-------------------
You may not be a PR person, but having access to press releases for
your area of interest can be key to pitching regular, relevant
stories. Whether your focus is local, national or international,
keeping abreast of breaking news and developments is now easy with
the help of websites like www.prweb.com . Users on the site can
choose their topic of interest and specify "keywords". The site
then collates press releases as per your keyword and emails them
to you.
For example, if you write about weddings, you will get a whole
range of Press releases from wedding companies, wedding organizers,
bridal wear companies, hotels offering special honeymoon packages,
travel destinations catering to newly-weds, florists and caterers.
You can choose to make your search as specific or general as you
like. As you can see from the above, just one keyword "weddings"
can generate a dozen or so ideas for future articles.
There you have it. The usual places are good for generating ideas.
But when faced with writer"s block, it helps to look beyond the
box and find ideas in less obvious and frequently overlooked
places.

AN INTRODUCTION TO COMMERCIAL WRITING
=================================================================
By Dawn Copeman
Moira and I were sat drinking tea and discussing the Inquiring
Writer topic when I said that one way that writers could increase
their writing income would be to do some commercial writing.
Moira hasn't done any commercial writing and asked me what was
involved, so we chatted about it for a while and realized that
thisis an area that we don't cover at Writing-World. Or rather,
it is an area that we haven't covered until now.
Commercial writing or corporate writing as it is also known,
doesn't sound as interesting as writing articles or stories, nor
as impressive writing a novel. But it is an exciting field, a
growing field and more importantly, a very lucrative field that
you ignore at your own cost.
So if this is an area you've never considered before, let me
introduce you to the wonderful world of commercial writing.
I decided to study copywriting almost from the moment I decided
to become a writer. And I'm glad I did. There is always a need
for copywriters. Commercial writing pays well and is a varied and
interesting line of work, particularly if you enjoy learning about
new things and working with language, which most writers do.
So far, in my short copywriting career, (I do it part-time on an
occasional basis), I've been paid to find out about amongst other
things: sardines, the health benefits of red grapes and cocoa and
the top selling toys at Christmas and then write about them in
press releases, company newsletters and sales letters. Once the
job is over I've then put my new-found knowledge to use in
articles. The fact I can get paid to find out facts I can then use
in my own future articles is just one of the attractions of
commercial writing. Another attraction is the sheer variety of
work on offer.
What is Commercial Writing?
---------------------------
Commercial writing is writing for businesses. It is also known as
copywriting. A copywriter or freelance commercial writer, writes
'copy' or text to help businesses communicate with their customers
and more importantly, with potential customers. Every advertisement,
every brochure, every catalogue and every sales letter you've ever
read was written by a copywriter. As were the words to all the radio
and TV ads you hear, and those fundraising letters from charities.
And all those catalogue descriptions you read.
Copywriting is a huge field.
The typical jobs a copywriter can be called upon to do involve the
following:
Press releases
Advertisement copy
Brochures
