Volume 3, Issue 30
The weekly ezine with a road map for
sidetracked writers.
"Be better writers today
than we were yesterday."
Thought for the Week - Holiday Specials
Welcome new subscribers and old friends, too!
I started this note last week after Thanksgiving.... and before the whirlwind of the holidays kicks into gear, I want to say thanks for sharing your email space with me. And thanks for being a writer!
Writing is such a challenging career (and often a second job) so thank you for hanging in there and continuing to write. Your talents for putting the words together are a special way to impact the world.
P.S. Holiday Specials from OrganizedWriter.com ----
no charge for shipping

For authors and publishers.... Get Publicity using Tip Lists
One of the easiest ways to get media coverage is to send a tip list that reporters can use exactly as you've written. George McKenzie of Publicity Goldmine has put together an entire tutorial on how to do this. Check it out at http://www.organizedwriter.com/tiplists
For freelancers .... December Queries
December queries can be perfect... with the holidays, you may be one of only a few writers who are still sending queries this month. Editors still have to put together springtime issues. Take a chance and get a couple queries in the mail this week while most other writers are busy with holiday preparations. Think about March, April and May with springtime and Easter issues.
Like Organized
Writer.com? You'll love the ebook.....
"Julie, I love your book. I have read (or at least opened) more than a trunk load of books about writing over the years. Yours is the first I have seen that gives readers so much in one place. For me, the Master List and putting that together was more than worth the cost."
-- David Stoddard
Motivational writer, trainer and publisher of the
Terrific Life Concepts ezine.
