Building Coop 2A for the chicken duplex. Only 14 hens and three
roosters, but we all know the guys need their own space. This is
the last one, or so I promised my husband. Frankly, it was good
therapy after losing Dixie on the 7th. Thanks to everyone for the
tremendous outpouring of condolences, love and caring after last
week's announcement that Dixie had passed away. About the time I'd
quit tearing up, I'd get another touching email and start all over,
but it was so worth it the way you wonderful people sent your
best wishes for me. Thanks so very much. I'm so blessed.

TURF MAGAZINE, OR HOW TO SELL TO TRADE MAGAZINES

I received my monthly issue of TURF Magazine. It's a trade
publication "serving landscape and lawn care professionals."
I've published in it three times, and it was some of the
easiest publishing I've ever done.

But what if you don't know a thing about lawns or yards or
landscape design? Why would you even care this magazine
existed . . . or any trade publication that covers a topic
you know nothing about?

I'll tell you why. Trades are alive, active and paying well.
And you don't have to be a niche specialist to write for them.

For instance, let's look at this edition - it's the South
Edition dated September 2011. (Some trades offer regional
versions of their publications.)

The first and main feature is titled Social Media Madness.
The author, a communications person with a market research
company (who probably knows nothing about lawns), covered
how to identify the social media that works best for
companies. She taught readers how to identify targeted
markets, how to choose social media, then spent the rest of
the articles talking about what others in the landscaping
business are doing with social media. How hard was that?

Imagine how that similar topic could be used in a slew of
trades about veterinarians, plumbers, real estate agents,
bakers, pizza restaurateurs, and more. I suspect that
author did just that . . . changed the slant and repitched
this to many trades.

Another feature interviews a Texas couple who won a lawn
care franchise in a YouTube contest. Most of the piece
is history about the contest, how the couple entered and
won, and how they intend to grow the business. The writer
included a touching personal story about the family's
health problems.

Another feature covers the flood in Nashville, and how
Opryland had to restore its property to include the
landscape. Again, history and interviews and pictures.

Another feature covers how a small school academy uses
parents and students to help make ends meet when it comes
to landscaping and maintaining sports fields.

Then there's child-friendly gardening and landscaping to
include how to utilize safe plants, design paths, and
create hide-away places with natural material like
weeping branches and large shrubs.

I could have written any article in the magazine. So
could you. Don't think that you don't know anything about
the trade magazine's niche. Think about what you know
that can apply to almost anyone. On top of that, realize
that you can always interview some specialists and create
a feature idea of your own.

Dare to write what you do not know, especially for trades.

To find trade magazines, consider these websites. Feel
free to order subscriptions of them, or visit their
samples online.

WORDS OF SUCCESS

"There is a time in every man's education when he arrives
at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation
is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse,
as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of
good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but
through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is
given to him to till."

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WARNING OF THE WEEK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From a FundsforWriters reader:

I queried Evolved Publisher that was on your "Funds" site
a while back. They wanted my manuscript but under many provisos,
not the least of which was paying up front for editing fees.
I had initially researched them through P&E and Writers Beware
and found nothing. I know better than to pay reading fees but
with epublishers being a new animal, and with paying larger
commissions than print houses, I asked my writers group for
their opinion.

The response was an overwhelming NO, and the only caveat was
that if I wanted to pay for professional editing, I should
be able to choose who I wanted. I used this passive approach,
stating that since the staff editor was a children's writer
and I wrote suspense, that I would prefer someone with that
background. The immediate response was "Sorry we couldn't
help you." click.

They may be knowledgeable and/or professional, but they
still have things to learn about the publishing business.

Keep up the good work on your site. I trust and enjoy it.

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

Hi, Hope.

I enjoy your newsletter. Just wanted to tell you of my recent
success. Dee Perry, an NPR radio legend on WCPN in Cleveland,
closed her broadcast of the "Around Noon" radio show by reading
my poem, "The Hardest Thing" (written in the voice of a stroke
victim). If you go online to "Around Noon" on WCPN and click on
September 30th (Arthur Kopit) link on the right side of the page,
you can hear her reading of my poem. What a kick! Made my day
(and has already boosted sales of my book, Heart Murmurs: Poems).
Here's the link:

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

THE VOICE BEHIND THE "EXPERTS"

by Cynthia MacGregor

Have you noticed--people look at you differently when you've
had a book published. Suddenly you're "Somebody." That's true
not only of authors but also of people in other walks of life:
lawyer, dog trainer, home handyman, accountant, clothing
designer, entrepreneur. With a published book to her or his
credit, he/she gets more respect, more attention...and more
clients.

What has this got to do with you, an author? Very simple!
Most of these professionals, tradespeople, and business people
who could benefit from publishing a book know their craft or
business but aren't much good at writing.

If they tried to write a book on their particular field, the
result would be so clumsily written that they likely couldn't
get an editor to accept it. Even if they succeeded...or went the
self-publishing route...if the writing is clunky, they won't
impress many readers/potential clients.

That's why they need you!

Unless you have one really big credit, or a profusion of smaller
ones, it's unlikely that you can contract with a top-tier name--
someone who's already semi-famous. But that still leaves plenty
of little fish, many of them right in your own area.

The project may be a full-length book or just a small booklet.
You may be able to bill your client for several thousand dollars
or only several hundred.

Imagine if local jeweler Daniel Q. Jones has a book published
(or self-published) on estate jewelry as an investment, or how
to know if you can trust your jeweler, or how diamonds are graded.
Suddenly it's "Oh--are you the Daniel Q. Jones who wrote that book?"
Suddenly he's an expert. His credibility soars...and his client
base with it. Your job is to persuade Daniel that he needs to
write a book...and he needs you to ghost it for him.

What's your approach?

I like the grabber line "How to Be the 'Expert' People Want to
Do Business With." That can be used in an ad in the business
section of your local paper or on a flyer you send out to
selected targets in your area. It can be the title of a speech
you deliver. (Even if you don't earn a speaking fee, the real
payoff comes when people approach you to ghostwrite books or
booklets for them.)

Key within your own promotional materials is the promise of
confidentiality: No one will ever learn from your lips that
you and not Jones penned his book. It also helps if you can
offer information on reliable, reasonable self-publishing--
probably not with one of the better-known names in the industry.
While Jones's discussion of jewelry might be of national interest,
you know as a writer how difficult it is to get the nod from an
editor. Your client may be better off going the self-published
route. Too, he is probably not aspiring to the New York Times
best-seller list. National acclaim can occur but is unlikely. A
more realistic target is local distribution of his book, thus
attracting new clientele from the area. If you can guide your
client through the self-pub process, or at least point him in
the right direction, it may help him decide to utilize your
services.

Does it bother you to think you'll be writing a book yet not
seeing your name after the word "by"? Remember, your name will
follow the words, "Pay to the order of." That's what counts the
most.

WHY ADVERTISE IN FUNDSFORWRITERS?

For my first advertising for my fledgling business I needed to
make strategic choices within a very limited budget. I chose
to advertise in two places: the Funds for Writers (FFW)
newsletter and a major writer's magazine (circulation of 100,000).
FFW far outperformed the magazine! From my first FFW ad I got an
immediate and enormous spike in traffic to my web site and within
24-hours had more than 100 people sign up on my website. And that
was just the first ad! Over the course of the six-week ad campaign
I saw a noticeable spike in traffic after each ad hit people's
inboxes and in total garnered at least 500 new sign-ups.

If you're thinking about advertising in FFW, do it!

ANOTHER FANTASTIC REASON TO ADVERTISE IN FUNDSFORWRITERS

Chalet Publishers, LLC, ran an ad ONE TIME in announcing we
were currently accepting submissions. It had been exactly 24
hours since the newsletter and the ad were distributed. Queries,
chapters, entire manuscripts --- the influx has just now slowed
down. We received way over forty responses to our ad, and they
are still pouring in. (BTW, this is a very good problem!). Just
wanted to let you know we think you and your newsletter rock!
It's just amazing and lets us know just how loyal your fans are.
