SPIN EVERYTHING

I recently wrote a guest post for Carol Tice's phenomenal
blog called MAKE A LIVING WRITING. My post was entitled
"How I Got More Writing Assignments With Multiple Personality
Querying."

http://www.makealivingwriting.com/2012/07/25/multiple-personality-query-letters/

In answering the comments, I realized that as writers, we have
to "spin" everything we do. No, spin is not a bad four-letter
word.

Per Wikipedia, the public relations version of the word SPIN
"is a form of propaganda, achieved through providing an
interpretation of an event or campaign to persuade public opinion
in favor or against a certain organization or public figure."

That definition might be a bit too defined, however, because
spin is basically persuasion to achieve an end.

Absolutely everything you write has SPIN in it. Every friggin' thing.

1. When you write a blog, you are coaxing people to follow you, maybe
buy your work.

2. When you pitch a magazine, you are convincing the editor you
have the qualifications to write the feature.

3. When you query an agent or publisher, you are enticing (hopefully
not begging) them to acquire your writing.

4. When you leave a comment on a blog, Facebook or Twitter, you
are leaving a piece of yourself, hoping someone takes interest
and follows you.

Never do we write without a purpose, without the effort of
grabbing people and drawing them in. i.e., SPIN

But this is also a form of showing how your qualifications
match the needs of the reader/agent/editor/magazine. It's not
begging. Showing someone how much you know, how you achieved
that knowledge, and where you are currently appreciated, is
no more than matching your needs with theirs. To NOT do so is
almost a deception in itself.

So get over the queasiness of promoting yourself. It's a moral
duty to paint yourself in your best light . . . so the person
on the other end can make the best informed decision about you.

It's not blatant self-promotion. It's telling the truth.

(And SPIN can be a GOOD thing.)

YOU SAID IT!!!

THE LATEST COMMENT ABOUT LOWCOUNTRY BRIBE....


Mystery, Southern Style, served up with a pinch of Hope!

C. Hope Clark’s hot new mystery novel, Lowcountry Bribe has
changed my reading ritual. Speed reader I’m not. I ponder,
savor, read and reread… a lot. And oh yes, I get distracted.

That said, I just did two all nighters. Something I have
never done.

C. Hope Clark’s page turner, Lowcountry Bribe has altered
my will to stray, holding me fast to each page. What magic
author’s sorcery does this woman Hope possess?

From the traumatic opening to the collected thoughts of her
convoluted future, the heroine Slade shares her most restricted
emotions with you as this compelling mystery unfolds. Each
character forges a piece into this intense disquieting mosaic.
This perfectly competent government administrator skillfully
adapts to ever-changing confrontations. You know her every
next thought… or do you?

This is the one book this year, you won’t want to miss!

~Jim Great Elk Waters
Author and reviewer for Forest Edge publishers

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


Hope,

I just wanted to let you know that, of all the writers'
resources I read and receive, yours has had the most immediate
impact on my work. I just sold a story to Sherlock Holmes
Mystery Magazine because I saw the listing in your newsletter.
I also find your weekly column interesting and inspiring.

Thanks for all the effort you put into this venture.
It is appreciated!

Jan

P.S. I coached tennis during my high school teaching career
and was lucky enough to have a state winner in singles two
years in a row. My teams and I used to subscribe to the mantra,
"Grind it out" when a match was particularly challenging. I
think that applies to writing as well. Have a great day!

USING GRANTS FOR OTHERS AS WELL AS SELF

By Jordan Clary

A significant part of my income over the years came from
grants, either ones I’ve written or projects I’ve been a part
of. I’ve learned a few things about writing them, what grant
committees look for and how to search out appropriate grants.

I’ve also had proposals rejected. The competition, especially
for grants in the creative arts, can be stiff, and sometimes
there isn’t enough money to fund every project.

The first major grant I won was a California artist-in-residency
grant. For three years, it provided enough income for me to
teach creative writing in a continuation school while allowing
time for my own writing. I also wrote a Healthy Start grant for
the school. It was accepted and they received $100,000 to set
up an onsite nursery and offer healthy living classes for teen
parents, a gratifying experience to see under-privileged students
receive help to finish high school.

I also spent seven years going into California state prisons
teaching poetry and creative writing to inmates as part of the
William James arts-in-corrections project. They were some of the
best students I’ve ever worked with.

I’ve written grants for organizations and arts groups, which have
supported workshops and readings. A number of smaller grants
allowed me time for writing that I might not have otherwise been
able to. This past year, I received what, for me, was the crème
de la crème. In March, 2011, I was awarded a Fulbright for a
writing project, “The Language of Place” and spent six months
in northeastern India on a creative writing project about
environment. As part of it, I began a blog, Cloud and Mountain,
which I have continued to maintain since returning to the U.S.

The most important step of preparing a proposal is to study the
organization and successful grants. Ask a granting agency to send
you copies of grant proposals they’ve funded. Some make samples
available online. This gives you a chance to see what types of
projects have succeeded, but more importantly, you get an idea
of the tone and language preferred.

Some other tips:

• Keep your proposal within the stated limits. If it says
proposals should be three to five pages, don’t send in two
pages, don’t send in six.

• Keep your objective narrow and realistic. People who read
proposals have a keen eye for projects that promise too much.

• Make your language positive. Focus on what you can do and show
how your past experience will help you achieve your objectives
with this grant.

• Do a very careful proofreading! Spelling or grammatical errors
are a sure way to get your grant rejected. Even if you have a
dynamite proposal, if the writing is sloppy it suggests you don’t
care enough about it to bother with basic mechanics.

An equally important step is to state how your project can
benefit others. The Fulbright is a diplomacy program, so they
seek projects that will contribute to a cross-cultural exchange
with a host country. However, all grants will likely have a
service component. Don’t just think about what you want to get
out of your project, but what is its place in the bigger world?
Will you be offering something that goes beyond yourself?

In fact, this is not a bad philosophy for life!
