THE WELL-FED WRITER

In less than four months, Peter Bowerman built a lucrative
"paying-all-the-bills" commercial writing practice:
writing for businesses, large and small and for hourly
rates of $50-$125+ (and did so with NO industry contacts,
previous paid writing experience or writing training.

No, this isn't a huge course on how to get rich writing.
It's a reality story, condensed in a book that teaches
you how to do the same. For less than $20, grab the
know-how that many pay hundreds of dollars to learn.

THE FEELING

Someone asked me recently how to make her book more attractive
than her competition's book. She wasn't asking about the cover
or the content, but instead she needed to know how her press
packet or introduction letter would wow the socks off someone
who makes purchases for stores. She wanted the letter to capture
the attention of the average gift shop owner who is inundated
with similar letters from others with this type book to sell.

My first suggestion was to hand deliver the letter, the book,
and the charisma, but the author was attempting to place her
book in gift shops in parks across the country. A cross-country
book tour was out of the question.

I told her if she couldn't verbally sell her book, then she
had to write an award winning, eye-popping, throat catching
introduction letter that forced the reader to put down the letter
and pick up the book.

She struggled with that. What did that mean? And I had trouble
putting it into words.

So I digested my own suggestion for several days . . . and
thught of my hairdresser.

I went to the same hairdresser for 17 years. Then she retired.
I'm not overly picky about my hairstyle and had often just told
my hairdresser to do whatever worked, giving her a free rein.
After all, it grows back. But now I had to find someone I trusted
to do that - know what was best for me.

Franchises didn't suit me. You never knew who would be there
on any given day. I was accustomed to having a hairdresser who
understands my hair and my desires. On top of that, my hairdresser
knew the first names of my family. She asked about their grades,
their girlfriends, their deer hunting, their hobbies. I didn't
just get a haircut. I enjoyed a social outing with the shorter
hair being an extra benefit of the time spent. I received more
than my money's worth. I had someone who cared.

I found a new hairdresser. His name is Harvey, and when I walked
in the door I fell in love with him. He knew who my son was without
me giving a name because he saw the resemblance (my son found
Harvey and told us about him). He chatted, almost courted except
his wife was right there as his receptionist, talking along with
us. And he operated in a tiny, two-room place on the edge of a
little, bitty town named Chapin, five miles from my house.

No neon, no music, just personal attention, chatter and laughter.
I'd found someone who made me feel good and knew what I wanted.

A book buyer for a small novelty shop, hospital gift shop, park
gift shop, museum shop or visitor's center wants an author to
clearly understand what his customers crave. It has to be not
only on the right topic, but the best of the right topic with
a smattering of something unique. True, someone might need to
read the book to capture that "something special," but that
introduction letter has to make it sound like there's nothing
else like it - without saying there's nothing else like it.

Tell a shop buyer what your book will do for his customers.
Why does your book belong in his shop instead of Barnes & Noble?
What can you write that makes your book call his shop home?

How do you catch someone's attention to read a no-name book?
How can you tell someone it's remarkable without saying it is?
How do you decide who to trust with your hair? 

You act like it's the only place on the planet worthy of
selling your book. Just like Harvey makes me feel I'm his
favorite customer.

WORDS OF SUCCESS

No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter
someone else's draft.

H. G. Wells (1866 - 1946)

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

Hi, Hope!

In a December issue of Funds for Writers (Vol. 9, issue 50,
12/13/09), SheLa E. Nefertiti Morrison shared her success story.
(Congrats, SheLa!) In it she emphasized, "Perseverance pays off
. . ."

The end of November, my first novel got published -- the
culmination of 28 YEARS of effort! I wrote, rewrote, submitted,
got rejected, studied, rewrote, submitted, got bashed, studied
some more, rewrote and rewrote, submitted, got ignored, rewrote,
researched, submitted, got rejected, ad infinitum. Friends and
family -- even my writers group, who helped me bring the novel
to publishable maturity -- gently encouraged me to face the
fact I'd probably never succeed, perhaps I ought to put the
book aside and either give up on writing or start another book
in a new direction. Bloggers, how-to-gurus, editors, agents,
and other authors all said the same thing somewhere along the
line.

I listened to all of them and none of them, believing that my
cross-genre story had merit and its audience was out there
somewhere, it was a matter of finding them and the publisher
who served them. Which finally occurred when I changed my focus
from print to e-books and looked outside my country's borders.
Scored on the first try!

Now, thanks to Club Lighthouse Publishing in Toronto, my
novel, The Mobius Striptease, is available to the world. I
look forward to learning how to shepherd it through cyberspace,
and, ultimately, through POD for folks without e-readers. And
I heartily thank professionals and resources like Hope and Funds
for Writers for never ceasing in their support and positive
attitude. Without it, I likely would have lost the courage to
persevere.

What Your Tax Preparer Wants to See From You

By Thursday Bram

Tax season is more complicated for writers than for anyone who
relies on just one employer for income. To get your taxes done,
you need more than just a W-2 -- your tax preparer will have a
whole list of documents he'll need in order to complete your
income tax return.
 
Form 1099

According to the IRS, each of your clients should send you a
Form 1099 that lists the amount of money you received from
that client in the last year. You should receive your copy of
your Form 1099 by the beginning of March. The IRS will also
receive a copy of each Form 1099.
 
Invoice Totals

In addition to the forms from your clients, your tax preparer
will need a list of your clients and the amount you received
from each. There are many situations in which you will not
receive a Form 1099 for the work you've completed: if you work
with an international client, the client becomes defunct or
even if your client sent you an incorrect Form 1099. Sometimes
your client may just not issue a Form 1099 at all. Some
businesses do not issue a Form 1099 to any freelancer who
earns less than $600 over the course of the year.
 
Expenses

As a writer, you can deduct expenses related to your work.
In order to do so, your tax preparer will need information
about your expenses over the course of the year. Most of the
time, your tax preparer won't ask you to bring in all the
receipts -- although it's worthwhile to hold on to those
receipts in case of an audit -- instead, you'll need the total
you've spent, as well as a breakdown of where that money went.
If you've bought office supplies, paid for Internet access or
even taken a client out to lunch, you have expenses that you
can deduct in part or in whole on your taxes. You can even
write off big expenses, like a new computer, although the
deduction is usually divided across several years. By reporting
the depreciation of your equipment, you can spread its cost
over the length of time you use it.
 
To claim the home office deduction, your tax preparer will
need to know the size of your home office, as well as the
size of your entire home. The deduction is calculated by
determining the percentage of your home dedicated to business
use and then using that percentage to calculate the portion of
your utility bills, taxes and insurance that can be considered
a business expense.
 
Quarterly Estimated Taxes

Because your clients do not withhold payroll taxes when they
send you a check, the IRS may expect you to send in your taxes
quarterly. If you freelance on the side, your withholding at
your job can be adjusted to cover the taxes on your freelance
income. Similarly, if your income is low and you will be
filing a joint return with someone who does have taxes withheld
from his or her paycheck, you may have such a low tax burden
that you do not need to complete the form. However, if you
expect to owe at least $1,000 in taxes on your freelancing
income, the IRS does expect you to pay estimated taxes. If you
have submitted quarterly income tax payments, your tax preparer
needs a copy of your Form 1040-ES, including each quarter's
section showing that you've sent in your payment.
 
Personal Records

Beyond your business records, you may need to provide
information about your personal finances. If, for instance,
you're setting aside money towards retirement in an IRA, your
tax preparer will need information about that account. The same
goes for claiming deductions and credits related to purchasing
a new home, attending college, paying medical bills or making
donations.

Talk to Your Tax Preparer

By now, you may have a big stack of paper. However, if you've
been keeping good financial records over the course of the last
year, you may be able to just send your tax preparer a
spreadsheet.
 
Because everyone's tax situation is different, this list may
not cover everything your tax preparer needs to handle your
taxes. It's important to consult a tax professional about the
specifics of your income and expenses -- and most tax preparers
will make a point of going over the list of documents they'll
need with you.
