Earn a Full-Time Living Writing for this HUGE
But Little Known Market

U.S. businesses will be pumping over $30 billion into this
lucrative "writing market" in 2009. They're desperate for
good writers who can follow a few simple rules, and will
pay top dollar; anywhere from $250 to $3,500 to complete
500-1,500-word assignments. It's possibly the easiest way
to earn a full-time living doing what you love most.

TOUGH TIMES

Less than a week until Christmas and you're probably expecting
a happy holidays and good cheer message from Hope. Yes, I will
deliver that to you, but first let me dose you up with a little
reality. Grab your egg nog and make sure it's spiked, because
you'll need it.

I gave an interview recently, and the young journalist asked
me what to advise everyone jumping into the freelance
market. It hadn't hit me that the economy is shifting things
not only at the corporate level, but in our neck of the woods,
too. As people get squeezed out of their day jobs through layoffs,
many of them are attempting to freelance. The faucet is about
to open and flush gobs of new writers into the business.

Add to that scenario the fact that most magazines are shutting
down, cutting back, laying off or going strictly online. As if
it wasn't hard enough to sell a story, now we have fewer markets
paying less for whatever we manage to get past the slush pile
to an editor. Publishing houses are releasing employees
in double-digit rates like ten and fifteen percent. Some are
combining or closing imprints.

The economy is vying more people against each other for
fewer opportunities. And this is your time to dig down and
reinvent yourself.

With a dismal economy coming (nope, it's not nearly as bad
as it's going to be), your job isn't to stick your head in
the sand or wring your hands. You need to decide how you'll
reenergize your writing business and ride the crest through
these choppy waters.

1. Test new markets you've never tried.
2. Consider nonfiction writing if you write fiction.
3. Take on copywriting work, finding work through Guru.com,
   Freelancewriting.com or Freelancedaily.net .
4. Offer courses. Teach classes at local schools.
5. Tutor on the side.
6. Enter a contest a month.

Pay attention to detail, tap the creative corner in your
brain, and stretch your muscles in your work. Now is not
the time for your average talent. Go overboard in your writing,
your marketing, your self-promotion, because the economy
has unfortunately introduced a lot of new unemployed people
to freelance writing.

Now's the time to show us what you're made of.
Misfortune is the breeding ground for opportunity.
What's your plan for 2009?

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays from FundsforWriters.

WORDS OF SUCCESS

"The next time it begins to rain... lie down on your belly,
nestle your chin into the grass, and get a frog's-eye view of
how raindrops fall... The sight of hundreds of blades of grass
bowing down and popping back up like piano keys strikes me as
one of the merriest sights in the world."

-- Malcolm Margolin

SUCCESS OF THE WEEK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope

I am beyond thrilled to have found your Funds newsletter and
your small markets newsletters. Both have given me places to
submit that I would have never come across before.
 
My recent success story is winning 1st place (Golden Note)
for my short story Letter from Helen of Sparta The website
is called www.notesandgracenotes.com and it has been a great
place to submit and get a little feedback, too.
 
I have never won an award for my writing before, and it meant
the world to me to receive that 'we'd like to inform you' email.
My confidence went up a few notches! I was also especially
proud because most of my writing encouragement comes from my
mother, and she was able to see me have a tiny bit of success
this year. She knows I have been struggling with trying to get
published for a long time.
 
Your recent newsletter had some new places to submit that I
am able to have material ready for.
 
Thank you so much for all that you do.

ARTICLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'TIS ALWAYS THE SEASON...FOR SOMETHING
 
by W.E. Reinka
 
The most common question writers get after "what sort of
writing do you do?" is "where do you get your ideas?"
           
I feed monthly features into two syndicates. Where do I
get my ideas? I start with the calendar. Good seasonal
articles are not only annual but, in a sense, perennial.
Write a good Father's Day piece, and it remains ripe
for reprints year after year.

Adages that apply to general features also apply to holiday
features. Start with an engaging lead. Avoid the familiar.
Editors don't want another reminiscence of the longed for,
but unexpected, Christmas present showing up under the tree.
           
Here are eight other Do's and Don'ts.
 
1. Give Your Readers Credit
           
Don't slow down your Columbus Day piece on an explanation
of Columbus's role in history. Flag Day readers already
know that Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag. But
they probably don't know that she quashed George Washington's
suggestion that six-pointed stars might be easier to sew when
she deftly folded a piece of fabric and, snip snip, produced
a five-pointed star.
           
2. Micro to Macro/ Macro to Micro Leads
           
Remember that most features "start" in the second or third
paragraph. That Reader's Digest throat-clearing staple, the
anecdotal lead, moves from the specific to general. Or try
turning things around as I did in my Veteran's Day piece
which opens with a paragraph about how the increased
recognition of the sacrifices of minority squadrons has
changed the face of Veteran's Day. Then my article narrows
its focus to single mother Lori Piestewa, the first female
Native American to die in combat on foreign soil. The story
of her heartbreaking heroism in Iraq honors all veterans.
           
3.  New Angles on Old Holidays
           
Remember our friend Squanto from when we kindergartners we
dressed up as Pilgrims or Native Americans? Once I learned
that Squanto had visited Europe twice before the Pilgrims
ever saw Plymouth Rock, I knew more editors would gobble up
that idea than a reminiscence of Thanksgiving turkey aroma.
 
4. Ready, Fire, Aim
           
Our instructor at one of those get-rich-in-real-estate courses
advised due diligence in all transactions but said that
occasionally we had to grab opportunities, what he called
"Ready, Fire, Aim." Likewise, if you're inspired by this
year's Independence Day fireworks, go home and get it down
for next year. Besides, it's almost never too early to submit
a seasonal piece but it's often too late. If you're submitting
a holiday piece to what is for you a new market, shoot for
four or five months ahead.
 
5. Unofficial holidays
           
Look beyond the calendar's red letter days. I've published
two articles on America's biggest unofficial holiday, Super
Bowl Sunday. Last September I envied another writer's piece
on National Talk Like a Pirate Day. The World Series, first
day of school and summer solstice are among the annual rites
 that are grist for seasonal articles.
 
6. Anniversaries
           
Although they might not be candidates for annual reprints,
celebrate significant anniversaries. When The Beatles' Sgt.
Pepper album turned forty, I hit the charts across the country
with "It Was Forty Years Ago Today" (that we first heard "It
was twenty years ago today..."). Last summer my piece on the
75th anniversary of the first drive-in movie proved to be a
blockbuster. Get ready for Lincoln. February marks his
bicentennial.
 
7. Months
           
If you're a food writer, readers will relish your piece on
National Pickles Month. February is more than Valentine's and
Presidents' Day. It's also Black History Month. March is
Women's History Month.
 
8. No Harangues
           
During the last five years, I wrote only one article that
didn't sell. It was a harangue. Hey, we're all with you on
how Wal-Mart puts Santa out during swimsuit season or trick-
or-treaters who don't bother with costumes. But save it.
Editors mark seasons with affirming pieces.
 
Writing prompt: 
This July is the 40th anniversary of the first moonwalk.

PLOT A SEQUEL AND WIN $5,000
http://www.christinekringle.com/
---
NO ENTRY FEE
In 2007, the Christmas book Christine Kringle was test marketed
in the UK and USA. Author Lynn Brittney is offering readers of
the book the chance to win $5000 or equivalent in their national
currency, if they can come up with a one page synopsis of a plot
for book two in the series. You will need to buy book one to come
up with this plot for the second book, which will also need to
be written in English. Deadline January 31, 2009. Open to
everyone aged 10 to 100.

Lynn Brittney says: 'There are endless possibilities for
future adventures for Christine Kringle and her friends and
this competition gives me the unique chance to find out what
characters and situations the readers would like to experience
in the next book in the series.'

Christine Kringle, for those not familiar with the book,
offers a new slant on the Santa story. It is revealed that
there is not just one Santa Claus - in fact there are almost
one hundred - each representing their own country and with
their own special name. All of them are members of one large
family corporation, called the Yule Dynasty and the job of
each country's Gift Bringer is usually handed down from
father to son. However... (you get the picture).
