GIVING IT AWAY - NOTHING FOR NOTHING

I'm going to take a stance here that may rub some of y'all raw.
Quit giving away your work.

It's an old mantra with me . . . one that FundsforWriters was
founded upon. You cannot make a living giving yourself away.
Doctors don't give away their expertise. Lawyers charge for their
services. So do teachers, plumbers . . . even hookers do it.

But you need exposure, you may say. No you don't. Not that kind
of exposure. Do you know what you look like when you pitch an editor
or agent and the only items on your resume are:

1) Your serial novel on your blog;
2) Your articles on websites that do not pay;
3) Your poetry for free on your website;
4) Your free short stories on anyplace that will take them.

But you keep trying to sell your work and nobody buys it. So you
figure you'll post it online and somebody might discover it. Here's
the flaw in that logic.

LOGIC A.
The people hungry for your free work usually aren't the type willing
to pay. Think about it. They're usually trolling for free work, and
continually seek the good deal. They have no desire to pay full price
for a book or subscription, maybe not even one copy of a magazine
where your work appears, because there's ample free material available.

LOGIC B.
Editors and agents do not visit those freebie places. Not unless you
happen to be that one in a million writer who trends on Twitter or
manages to garner tens of thousands of readers. Not hundreds...thousands.
Your odds are better pitching to editors.

LOGIC C.
If you are publishing for free because you keep getting rejected, then
your writing might need work. People willing to pay for writing expect
to receive a good return for their investment, so your work has to be
refined and polished to rate their hard-earned dollar.

LOGIC D
If you are publishing for free because you don't want to learn the
ropes of how to submit to publishers and markets that pay, you might
not be made of strong enough material to weather this business.

Argue with me. Go ahead. Then tell me how much money you've made
from that "exposure." I'm all ears. I'm not trying to hurt your
feelings. On the contrary. I want you to make a buck at this
business. But too many writers think that giving their work away
is "exposure" or a means to "getting discovered" when in reality,
they usually end up sitting in place and waiting for nothing...
and doing it for a long time.

It's understandable you need to be proactive, but put that energy
to good use in the right direction.

1) Improve your writing
2) Sell your work
3) Promote yourself.

You don't want to appear so desperate you give it away. In all aspects
of your life, how much quality do you attribute to something that was
given to you for free?

THE SHY WRITER REBORN is out!
An Introvert's Wake-Up Call

www.amazon.com/The-Shy-Writer-Reborn-Introverted/dp/0988974509/
The Shy Writer Reborn is now available on Amazon in print, and
on Kindle, Scribd, Kobo, Copia and Nook in ebook.

The number one thing that holds writers back is fear. For introverts
— who, ironically, are drawn to writing because they think you can do
it alone — the fear is even bigger. Interviews, book signings, public
speaking — many of the tasks of a freelance writer demand that you be
social and perform. But don’t fret — Hope has solutions in The Shy
Writer Reborn that let you make the most of who you are instead of
asking you to change your personality.

Writing Success

~~~~~~****~~~~~~

WORDS OF SUCCESS

“If you want to write, you can. Fear stops most people from writing,
not lack of talent. Who am I? What right have I to speak? Who will
listen to me? You are a human being with a unique story to tell.
You have every right.”

– Richard Rhodes, author and journalist

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

Dear Hope,

I’m writing this from the sunroom of a beautiful house situated
on Martha’s Vineyard where I’m spending the week. Without your
inspiring and informative newsletter, I never would have known to
apply for the Turkey Land Cove Foundation Grant. This generous
organization provides women with a space to focus on their craft,
removed from everyday distractions—even cooking! A highly talented
chef delivers all of my meals to the house, allowing me to buckle
down on writing my first book. I cannot begin to express how much
this week has meant to me and all that I have accomplished during
my time here. And I have you to thank for it!

Sincerely,

Megan Parks

5 Steps to Landing a Writing Assignment Without Clips

By Susan Johnston

Newer writers sometimes stress about what to do if they don’t
have any published clips or writing samples. Often they feel
discouraged or overwhelmed by the fact that they haven’t published
anything yet, so how can they demonstrate to editors that they can
write?

In fact, I know several freelancers who’ve managed to break into
national magazines without any other credits to their name. Here’s
how to get around that catch-22 of not having any clips.

1. Play up other areas.

Do not apologize for your lack of clips. This shows a level of
insecurity that might be off-putting to editors. Instead,
emphasize whatever expertise you do have. Are you a former HR
exec pitching an article on job interview techniques? Mention
your HR credentials. Are you a mother of twins who wants to write
about throwing a kids’ birthday party on a budget? Include a
few sentences on why you’re the perfect person to write this
piece. If an editor writes back asking for clips or credits, you
can explain that you’re just breaking into freelancing, but don’t
lead with this information.

2. Use what you’ve got.

Maybe you haven’t written for national magazines, but you have
your own food blog or you wrote for your college newspaper. Some
editors might scoff at you sending them to your blog, since it
doesn’t involve working with an editor or interviewing sources,
but others will welcome the chance to see what your unedited writing
looks like. Always check for typos or bad links before sharing your
blog with an editor. Over time, as you start gaining newer and more
relevant clips, you can phase out the blog posts or the articles
from your college paper, but this gives you something to work with
for now.

3. Pitch something only you could write.

If you pitch a generic reported piece, it’s likely that piece might
be assigned to someone the editor already knows. For your first few
pitches, try to find some ideas that you’re uniquely qualified to
write. Do you have any unusual medical issues? Celebrity connections?
Knowledge of a specific niche? I know someone who broke into a
national women’s magazine with a humorous essay about an embarrassing
health problem. Although she had zero clips, the editor loved her
writing style and her candid point of view, so she was in! Essays
are a great way to go, because although they’re ultra competitive,
they depend more on writing style than on reporting skills.

4. Make your query sparkle.

Your query should reflect the style of the publication you’re
pitching, but that’s especially important when you don’t have
clips. If that’s the case, then treat your query as the writing
sample. Use active verbs and clear, specific language, check for
typos, and otherwise make sure the query reflects your very best
work so you can wow the editor.

5. Write it on spec.

Normally I’m against the idea of writing on spec, meaning writing
without a contract in the hopes that the editor will buy the piece.
But that’s actually how I got my first few clips back when I didn’t
know any better. I’d only recommend doing this after you feel out
the editor for interest and only for a reputable publication. There
are tons of publications out there, so choose judiciously. Sometimes
an editor will ask if you’ll write on spec because you’re inexperienced,
and if you think that clip will lead to more assignments, then go for
it! Once you’ve got a few clips under your belt, you’re ready to aim
higher and hold out for an official contract.

"When I got into a desperate situation with my website,
Shaila Abdullah was heaven-sent! She immediately identified
everything that was not working with my existing site. She
proposed a plan, stayed well within my budget, and delivered
a sample design that blew me away! Shaila answered every
question I brought to her and never overwhelmed me with
techie jargon. She kept me informed and educated on the
rationale for every element in my new site design. Because
Shaila is a published author, she understand the needs of
writers in ways many other web professionals fail to perceive."
