Life takes us many different places. We learn, grown and move. We
make choices that take us one direction or another. The pursuit of a writing
career can be quite similar.
If you follow this blog with any frequency, you know I’ve been
writing novels and a non-fiction book. The latter is still very much on the
table but these past couple of weeks I’ve decided to follow a new path –
freelance writing.
Now, obviously, many a book writer has started as a freelancer or
written freelance material to supplement book sales. It’s not like I’m standing
at the edge of some unexplored frontier. At this point in time, I believe
broadening my horizons, honing my writing skills and stretching me with
freelance opportunities is the best choice for my long-term writing career.
What This Means
You will immediately notice the blog will take on a decidedly
“freelance” turn. While I won’t ignore the book world entirely, I will focus on
opportunities available to freelance writers – content, blogging, press
releases, articles and more. The number of freelance writers seems to be
growing daily but the opportunities are just as plentiful. I’ll be following trends, offering insight and
hopefully together we’ll discover new avenues for publication
What This Doesn’t Mean
I’ll still offer industry interviews with faculty from local
writer’s conferences as well as (hopefully) other freelancers further along in
their career, who can share insights and advice to those of us new to the game.
It’s my strong desire to make this blog a regular stop for readers
and to offer content that is useful and encouraging. That won’t change.
I’m looking forward to sharing this new path with you and hope you
will join me for the ride. Maybe we’ll learn some things together.
