Your Writers Voice is Inside You
You literally must pour yourself into your writing.  That isn't as much a cliche as you may have thought.  Why do you write?  I write to change my world by revising it and giving it a happy ending.
How to Write a Resume That Stands Out From The Crowd
Today’s job market is competitive.  Many companies receive hundreds of resumes a year, making it difficult for yours to stand out from the crowd.  However, that should not keep you from getting interviews.
Many Writers, One Clear Voice
Imagine creating your first book, one on which hangs the future of your company-and maybe even the industry you love.  Imagine you have a publishing contract, five editors, a eighty contributing authors, hundreds of draft pages, a deadline in five weeks and a growing fear that the book you intended to create is nowhere in sight!
Book Proposals 101.: What Publishers Want
Lots of writers like to talk about writing books.  You hear very few talking about writing book proposals.  Maybe that's why it's easy to forget that a strong book proposal is the first step to getting a great deal for your non-fiction book.
Overcoming Writer’s Block: Avoiding the Trap
I may as well just say it.  Writer’s block, I’m convinced, doesn’t exist.  Mostly, I think, authors use writer’s block as an excuse to explain to themselves, an editor, or a concerned spouse why the book isn’t done or the chapter hasn’t been turned in.
Setting Your Fees as a Freelance Writer or Copywriter.
Probably the most common and frustrating problem any freelance writer has is setting his or her fees.  If you're too high, you cut yourself out of a lot of good business.  If you're too low, you get far too much work and you can't do the client a really good job because he hasn't paid you enough for your time.
Writing Nonfiction
All of us are authors, and all of us have a book already written within us that needs to come out.  I believe that fiction is the easiest to write because none of what you write can, or needs to be verified and you are only limited by your imagination.
The Crusades Of Writing
This article does not discuss what to write or how to write, but merely a favorite – why to write.  The world appears in its dissatisfactions.  Potential lies in the prospect that desires to change it, and prosperity lies in the chaotic chase that has already begun.
