Can you remember a story idea you pitched a year ago that resulted in no news coverage of any kind?
If so, how quickly could you respond if a reporter called you today wanting to cover the story? Would you start groping for words, or asking stupid questions like “Who did you say you wanted to interview?” Or would you be ready, on a second’s notice?
Sound ludicrous? Well, it happened to publicist Jill Lublin, who knew how to handle it, and it can happen to you, too.
A few years ago, Jill pitched an idea about one of her clients, a professional speaker, to Meeting Planner magazine. Despite several follow-ups, she never got a response.
“Then one year later–count ‘em–365 days later, I got a call and this reporter said, ‘Yes, we want to do the story, and by the way, tomorrow. Are you ready?’ And of course the answer is yes, you’re always ready when the media calls.”
That’s valuable advice regarding follow-ups. Never assume a story pitch is dead.
Jill, co-author of the book Buerrilla Publicity,” also says:
When following up, remember The Rule of 7. That means you should follow up seven times, using a combination of phone calls and emails, before you stop contacting journalists. But always be ready in case they call you.
Never follow up on routine news releases announcing things like promotions or awards you’ve won, or they’ll view you as a pest. Your efforts are better spent following up on larger stories you have pitched.
When following up, concentrate on benefits. Explain how the idea you are pitching is the solution to a problem–and do it quickly, in fewer than 30 seconds.
When you call or email, don’t say, “Did you get my press release?” or “I’m following up on a call I made two weeks ago.” Jill says: “I typically will say, ‘I sent you some information.’ That’s my code word for press release. What I have found when talking to the media is they hate when you call them up and say, ‘Did you get the press release?’ What they love is for you to talk about the information in terms of how it can be readily used by them, and why they would care. Really. That’s the bottom line. Why would they care?”
When following ups, never, ever ask a reporter to alert you when the story is printed, or to send you a certain number of copies of the story. It’s your job to monitor the publications, then call the circulation department and order however copies you want. Expect to pay for them.
Jill shared dozens more tips for follow-ups during a live teleseminar in 2003 called Failproof Ways to Follow Up After Sending a News Release or Pitch Letter.”

How many times have you checked out a job board to that either it no longer exists or that there is one or two jobs listed. Out of the hundreds of job boards on the Web today, how do you find those containing projects that you are interested in and qualified for.
I have recently surveyed over 300 freelance web sites and these are the best boards for freelance writers. The benchmark that I used for judging the board was the number of legitimate projects (as opposed to “business opportunities” ) and requests for submission being posted every month. I have only included ones posting 30 projects or more a month
The very best
I picked Guru This huge all-inclusive board connects independent professionals (a.k.a. “gurus”) with contract projects. If you are new to independent consulting, check out the Run Your Biz section, which includes a “Getting Started” column, where you can leave a question to be answered by experts. Lots of other useful information (e.g. tax and finance, legal, etc.) for contractors. Find a contracting job (“gig”) searching by field (creative/media, finance and legal, etc.), keyword, and geography.. Recently, it acquired IT Moonlighter , another with lots of freelance jobs. Whatever, Guru is probably the largest freelance marketplace on the Web. Over 3,300 projects posted last month.
What makes Guru.com stand out from is the number and variety of projects listed and the easiness of accessing the job. Unlike the others, Guru sends daily email alerts of writing gigs that match your profile.
Number of writing projects posted every month: 207
Type of projects: Everything and anything, many articles, ghostwriting, editing, copyright, some onsite, some technical. Has the best all around listing of freelance writing gigs.
Other good freelance writing sites
AllFreelanceWork. Its sister site AllFreelance is my number one site for articles about freelancing and freelance resources.
Number of writing projects posted every month: 10
Type of projects: Technical and business writing
Contracted Work A freelance site that has grown in great leaps and bounds. You can do a search and find a great number of projects. There is a monthly fee in order to search for projects, but it might be worth checking out. I personally found that I was not finding enough leads for the type of writing I do to be worth the fee.
Number of writing projects posted every month: 50-74
Type of projects: Openings tends more to web content, copywriting, and sales and marketing
Elance. I was actively involved in bidding on this site for a year. However, I did not get my money’s worth. It is geared towards business and technical writing.
Number of writing projects posted every month: 130+
Type of projects: little bit of everything: articles, ghostwriting, e-books, web content, technical. Lots of editing and proofreading jobs too
Freelance Work Exchange Non-Auction freelance site. The Freelance Work Exchange has listings for writers, designers, consultants, programmers. Yes … it does cost to join; however, there is $3.00 7-day trial memberships so you can test it to see if it will get you work! Highly recommended. Freelance Work Exchange is a solid, reliable freelance site, but in order to search jobs it will cost you a monthly fee.
Number of writing projects posted every month: 30-40
Type of projects: little bit of everything: calls for articles, ghostwriting, e-books, web content, technical. Geared more towards general writing markets, as opposed to corporate-style stuff.
Freelance Writing This is the ultimate job board for freelance writers. Contest, blogs, forums, resources. Everything.
Number of writing projects posted every month: 40
Type of projects: Calls for articles, copywriting, E-books, research papers, ghostwriting,
Independent Homeworkers Alliance — touts itself as the “largest provider of legitimate home-based jobs on the Internet.” Offers a search engine for at-home jobs, as well as numerous resources. $29.95 a month Subscription
Number of writing projects posted every month: 70
Type of projects: calls for submissions of articles, scripts, e-books, some sales and marketing, not much technical writing.
Sologigs With over 20,000 projects for freelancers, Sologig has a lot to offer. You need to register to get access to all the projects, with the higher levels of membership securing you a higher profile in the exchange. Most of the freelance writing jobs were onsite technical/business writing.
Number of writing projects posted every month: Estimate 100+ projects posted every month. To see the exact number, you have to register. A Bronze membership with $78.75 prepaid for three months
Type of projects: geared heavily towards onsite technical writing gigs
Telecommuting Jobs — where job seekers can view several hundred telecommuting/offsite jobs posted directly by employers, as well as thousands of jobs posted to other major job sites. Searching is free, but there is a small fee to post your resume. Telecommuting Jobs Telecommute jobs for Writers, Programmers, Artists, etc. Links to additional sites to continue the search for that which is so hard to find – a good paying, mid-term telecommute contract. Good deal for the $10/yr registration fee required.
Number of writing projects posted every month: 80
Type of projects: Wide variety of projects: article wanted, research papers, journalism, copywriting, not much technical
Workhome.com Welcome to Workhome.com a resource for work at home jobs for your small office or home business. We provide job posting for work at home jobs and advertising to work at home businesses. Posting on work home jobs is free and you may contact our work at home providers by visiting the profile page and clicking email professional
Number of writing projects posted every month: 20-30
Type of projects: Wide variety of projects: articles, web content, sales and marketing, technical
A word to the wise
Be selective about what types of projects that you bid for. There is a lot of competition out there, so do not waste your time with projects that you are not qualified for or do not interest you. If you are spending more than an hour a day responding to leads from the job boards, then you may need to redefine your niche. Don’t try to be all things to all people. In addition, remember that, in order to be a successful freelance writer, you should not be using the boards as your only way of finding projects. You should also be out there networking with other writer, setting up your own website, and researching writing opportunities in your own community. In the end, these strategies will net your more work than limiting yourself to working the job boards.

Swimming with Sharks
I just finished my first novel, “Shades of Betrayal”, and felt a rush of giddy excitement at the prospect of being a REAL writer. I had a vague idea that I would need an agent, so I went to a search engine and typed: “Literary Agents”. My search returned thousands upon thousands of results, and as I surfed from page to page, I quickly realized getting an agent was not going to be an easy undertaking. Most would not accept unsolicited queries, or queries from previously unpublished authors. I wondered if it would just be easier to contact publishers directly, in essence acting as my own agent. My bubble quickly burst when I found very few publishers willing to accept unagented queries. I was disappointed but not deterred.
In retrospect, I wish I had begun my search for information with these words: “Writer Beware”. These words would have saved me from surfing in shark infested waters. The sharks got me, but thankfully it was just a little nibble, they didn’t tear off my entire leg. Here are just a few tips to keep you safe from the sharks posing as agents and/or publishers:
Regardless of what they call them: Reading Fees, Evaluation Fees, Handling Fees, Sliding Fees, Publishing Fees, Marketing Fees, or Adjunct Services, FEES = money leaving your pocket and going into theirs. I paid an agent to set up a web site where my book would be promoted in junction with submissions to various publishers. I wanted to believe my dream was coming true, so I gagged my inner critic and stuck her in a dark corner. Paying up front fees just doesn’t pass the common sense test. “Fee-charging violates the basic premise of the author-agent relationship: a shared financial interest in the sale of the author’s manuscript.” (Writers Beware, p.2)
Referrals can be made for editing, illustrations, cover art or publishing by the agent, who in turn receives a kickback. Avoid agents that require use of outside companies as a condition of representation.
Contests may be used to lure unsuspecting writers to an agent or vanity press. A new writer, eager for acceptance and validation, is especially vulnerable if their writing is favorably judged. This adds fuel to their belief that if only they had readers, their work would be appreciated. With this newfound confidence, a writer may decide to bypass traditional publishing to publish and distribute their own work. This is a viable alternative for some: however, there are plenty of con artists waiting to take your money.

As with any of the performing arts, an effective voiceover begins with a well-crafted script. You don’t have to have many years of writing experience to create copy that is both effective and a pleasure for the voice actor to perform. Here are some ideas to consider before you put your pen to paper or fingers to keyboard.
Commericals: Radio and TV
Determine the purpose of the ad, e.g. drive traffic to a store, produce direct response inquiries, announce a grand opening, move end-of-season merchandise, etc.
Determine who your customer is and speak to that person one to one, and, ideally, present one main idea in the copy.
Use A.I.D.A.: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action. Get the listener’s attention to the ad; get the listener interested in what you’re offering; get the listener to want to take some action on your offer; give the listener a means to act and urge that action.
Narrations (also called “Industrials”)
For a video script, use the story board, if you have one, to guide the development of the script. This will help you time the voice over to the video’s scenes.
For audio only, where no storyboard exists, do a rough outline. This will help you create a basic logical structure before you start writing. The result will be a script that flows much better for the narrator and the intended listener.
All Scripts
Leave room for “verbal white space.” Just as a large block of densely printed copy is intimidating and difficult to read, a voice-over script that’s crammed with copy is difficult to follow and understand. A good rule of thumb for 30-second radio or TV copy is eight lines down (double-spaced), 10 words across the page. For a slower, more intimate read, go with seven lines, 10 words across. The same idea applies for a briskly paced 60-second ad: 16 lines down, 10 words across. For a slower pace, 14 lines, 10 words across. This 60-second guideline is helpful in timing long-form scripts, too. Just count the pages and you have the total number of minutes.
Numbers are words, so be sure to consider them in your word count. A phone number, such as 1-860-291-9476, is eleven words. That’s more than one entire line of copy! Try spelling out numbers as words to get a good handle on the actual length of your copy. For example:
1-860-291-9476,
when typed or written out, is
one-eight-six-oh, two-nine-one, nine-four-seven-six.
You can see how long the line really is when the numbers are spelled out. Then, after you’re ready to print your final draft, convert the words back to numbers.
Write for the ear, not the eye. Construct short, conversational sentences, with natural breaks for taking a breath. This is especially helpful to narrators when they voice technical or medical copy, which contains large, complicated, and difficult-to-pronounce terms.
Read your copy out loud, just as you intend the voice talent to read it, and time it. Then adjust your copy accordingly for timing.
Try to write in the active voice, not passive voice. This is a passive construction: “When writing a script, be sure you’re saying some exciting things, or else you’ll be losing the attention of the listener.” Instead, use the active voice, structured something like this: “When you write a script, say something exciting, or you’ll lose the listener’s attention.” Active voice is more conversational and easier for the ear and mind to follow.
Happy writing!

What can be more infuriating to a potential purchaser of a non-fiction book than chapter headings which give no clue as to their contents? After all, if someone is looking in the non-fiction section of a book store, it implies they want facts, not a fancy and “clever” table of contents! Here are 4 sure-fire ways to make your text grab the reader’s attention:
1. Make sure the text on the front and back covers is compelling. It should state plainly and simply what the book is about. For example: “Buy this book, and learn how to master the craft of teaching in 15 lessons”.
2. Why should anyone buy the book from YOU? Don’t waste limited space on the back cover telling the potential reader about your 3 cats – unless it’s a book about cats, of course! Write something like: “The author has been a practising teacher for 13 years, and writes regularly for the Teaching Times.”
3. Organise the table of contents so that the chapters fall into easily-identifiable sections. For example: “Section 1: Before you face your first class; Section 2: The first year” and so on
4. Make sure that the chapter headings actually MEAN something. You may think it’s great to have chapters like “All that glitters” and “Every cloud has a silver lining”, but I’ have news for you: nobody else is impressed! When people are browsing they want to know right away what they will get for their money if they buy the book. They don’t have time to look at each chapter to find out what it’s about. The chapter headings should tell them everything they need to know. For example, have chapters like: “Chapter 3: Maintaining order in your classroom; Chapter 4: Where to find excellent resources for your lessons”, and so on.
You have just a few seconds to impress a potential buyer. Don’t waste them!

Peter Abrahams is the author of thirteen novels, including “The Tutor,” (Ballantine Books) “A Perfect Crime,” (Ballantine Books), “The Fan” (Fawcett Books), and most recently, “Their Wildest Dreams” (Ballantine Books).
Known for his sharp wit and incredible gift for keeping readers on the edge of their seats, Abrahams has been entertaining readers for more than two decades–spinning multi-layered tales involving ordinary people who find themselves in horrific situations. Nominated for the Edgar Award, and known for his memorable, unique characters, colorful writing style, and non-stop suspense, Peter Abrahams seems to have it all–even the praise of horror author Stephen King.
Here is what he had to tell Writer’s Break.
THE INTERVIEW
WB: What formal training did you have before becoming an author?
Peter: I had little formal training. My mother–who wrote television drama–taught me a lot about writing when I was very young. For example–don’t use linking words between sentences (however, nevertheless, etc.), but use linked ideas, mood, rhythm.
WB: What’s a typical writing day like for you?
Peter: Typical writing day–I drive my daughter to school, hit the gym, then breakfast and finally the office, where I work from about 10 to 5. Late in a book I sometimes do more after dinner.
WB: How long does it typically take for you to complete a novel?
Peter: The actual writing of a book takes me 5-6 months if everything is going well. I wouldn’t call myself fast, just steady.
WB: What inspired you to write your latest novel, “Their Wildest Dreams”?
Peter: I don’t know if inspired is the word. I’ve often got little ideas drifting around in my mind. In the case of “THEIR WILDEST DREAMS,” I was thinking a struggling woman and a Russian immigrant and a heist gone bad. Then, on Don Imus’s radio show, I heard Delbert McClinton singing a song called When Rita Leaves. Most of the story–Mackie, the southwest, the dude ranch, Buckaroo’s–came to me in the next five minutes.
WB: How did you decide to become a full-time novelist? What were you doing before?
Peter: The short answer is that I finally started doing what I was designed to do. The long answer isn’t that interesting. Earlier, I worked in radio. Before that, I was a spearfisherman in the Bahamas.
WB: What would you say is the “best” and “worst” aspects to this job?
Peter: The best is that hard-to-describe pleasure that comes with making something out of nothing. The worst? A toss-up between the business aspects and the solitary nature of the job.
WB: Who are some of your favorite authors?
Peter: Lots of dead favorites, and a few living ones, including Stephen King and Saul Bellow.
WB: What can fans expect from you next?
Peter: My next book, “OBLIVION,” comes out next year. It’s my first detective novel. I think I can safely say that the detective, Nick Petrov, faces challenges unlike any previous fictional detective. I’m also involved in another new thing for me–a young adult mystery series that I’m really excited about.
WB: Do you do a lot of research for your books?
Peter: Research–it depends what you mean. A lot of it just comes from living. But as for all the little facts, I do what I have to to get them right. I visit places I write about–some, like southern Arizona in “Their Wildest Dreams,” have a deep effect on me.
WB: What would you like to do if you weren’t a novelist?
Peter: If I wasn’t a novelist, I’d like to be a musician.
WB: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
Peter: My advice to writers, at least those of the narrative kind: Don’t watch TV. There’s nothing for you there.

After you have written a text and run spellcheck, you might find it necessary to go back and revise the document. You might also have found that you have been running spellcheck, your brain has gotten a little numb, and you can’t remember if you actually fixed the last error or just “Ignore” automatically. You’ll need to re-set your spellchecker so that it will recheck the entire document, not just new text that is added. Here’s an easy way to re-run spellcheck:
Block highlight the ENTIRE text (that is, click at the very beginning of the document, before the first word on the first page, and drag to the bottom of the text; or click the cursor before the first word on the first page, and then hold down the Shift key and click behind the last word on the last page).
Go to Tools, Language, Set Language, U.S. English (or other language being used), OK.
Then click at the beginning of the document to remove the highlighting.
The spellchecker has now been re-set. You can run it again, and the entire document will be spellchecked.
You can also do this just for sections of text, by block-highlighting the section you want to re-spellcheck.
You can also recheck your spelling using this alternative method:
With your document open, click Tools, Options, Spelling & Grammar. At the bottom of the window under “Proofing Tools” is a button for “Recheck Document.” Click on the button. When you do, you will get the following window:
This operation resets spell checker and grammar checker. Do you want to continue?
Click Yes. Then, re-run spellcheck on your document.
It is easy to re-check a document that has already been spellchecked. Please be sure to remember to run a final spellcheck when you are completely finished with your document!

When writing an advertisement, your aim is to persuade your readers to follow a
particular course of action – willingly.
There are three elements in this process:
1. you must win the trust of your audience
2. you must appeal to their emotions
3. you must rationalise their decision for them, so that they feel comfortable in
making it
If you succeed in all three areas, you will have engineered their consent to buy
your product or service.
Here are some tips to help you to achieve this desirable state of affairs:
1. Win the Trust of Your Audience
The first step is to show that you are a person who can be trusted – so try to give
your audience something of value – advice, interesting “inside” information or
helpful tips. Indicate why your opinion here should be valued – give a little detail
about your background and your credentials.
To win their trust, you must know something about your audience:
What sort of people are they?
How old are they?
What are their special interests?
You must also try to find some common ground with your audience:
Begin with a point of common interest e.g. “I’m sure we all want to give
our kids the best start possible…”
Anticipate their responses by using rhetorical questions e.g. “You’re
probably wondering where you’ll find the time to …”
Use generalisations to persuade your audience to agree with you – people feel
more comfortable when they know that, “80% of families use …” or that “8 out of
10 teachers state that parental interest improves student grades …”
2. Appeal to the Emotions
We all know that people respond to emotional appeals more readily than to
intellectual appeals, so utilise this in your advertising. There are three steps to
follow:
First, arouse an emotion – anger, fear, resentment, envy, greed, sympathy.
Second, give a reason for the emotion – “your children are precious to you, don’t
risk their future by …”
Third, give your audience an appropriate course of action to follow – “Call now to
ensure your place in this new …”
When appealing to the emotions, your most powerful tools are words – learn to
use them to create the desired effect on your readers.
Words can have literal meanings (denotation) and emotional meanings
(connotation) e.g. a ‘house’ is a building where people live, but a ‘home’ is
much more
Some words have strong emotive appeals ‘built-in’ e.g. ‘chaos’ implies
something much stronger than ‘disruption’
Select your facts carefully – choose those that support your point of view
3. Rationalise
This is giving people good reasons to believe what you’re telling them. We all do
this to ourselves everyday. How many times have you said something like this to
yourself, “My old car is going to start costing me money soon; I’d be better off
buying a new one now”?
Tell your would-be customers that they’ll save money in the long run by spending
it now and you’ve given them a reason to act immediately.
Summary
Emphasise and repeat your key points
Be convincing in your presentation
Use plenty of emotional words and focus on the audience
Consider how you can use these persuasive techniques to sell your products or
services.
N.B. If the spelling of words like “utilise” in this article worried you, please read

Everyone certainly wishes the floral arrangements of his/her wedding could last a lifetime. A floral arrangement with fresh flowers is the typical option for weddings, but they are not something you can treasure for years to come. Silk flowers, on the other hand, are beautiful, durable, and last for a long time.
These days, you can get silk wedding flowers for the entire bridal party including bridal bouquets, handsome boutonnieres, cute flower-girl baskets, amazing altar arrangements, and reception table centrepieces made from the highest-quality, realistic silk flowers and accessories.
Usually there isn’t anything that is standardized in terms of wedding flowers – everything is customized. Roses and carnations are almost always a part of bridal bouquets; the remaining flowers are usually flowers that you would like to choose to fit your corsage or bouquet or anything else that would require a floral arrangement. If you are uncertain as to what to choose and how to go about it, you can seek help online.
Silk carnations, roses, open roses, pink and white roses, and magnolias look very good on a bride. If you want handsome corsages or boutonnieres, there are tea roses with carnations and ribbons in various mix-and-match versions with stunning looks.
Silk wedding flowers also sometimes come in a preset, completely ready, appropriately themed floral arrangement. All you need to do is pick a themed floral arrangement that matches your feelings and likes (for example, romantic roses – wherein all floral arrangements will be made using beautiful roses). And, as mentioned before, silk floral arrangements for your wedding also symbolize longevity, happiness, joy, and the everlasting beauty of the person you are going to marry.
Silk Flowers provides detailed information on Silk Flowers, Silk Flower Arrangements, Silk Wedding Flowers, Wholesale Silk Flowers and more. Silk Flowers is affiliated with Flower Bulbs for Sale.
