I started this blog three years ago this month. This is my 357th blog entry. I’ve averaged nearly 10 entries per month. Actually, I was posting closer to once a week at first. This year, I’ve added posts almost daily. My intent with this blog is to continue my mission to help educate and inform all of you who are interested in entering the competitive world of publishing. This includes authors, freelance writers and, to some degree, artists.
I do this by providing information, resources and guidance to hopeful, struggling and already successful freelance writers and authors.
I know how this blog site benefits some of you because you email me occasionally or leave comments at this site. But I’d like to know more about my readers, so I’ve devised a questionnaire. Please respond to the questions, copy them and paste them into an email to me at PLFry620@yahoo.com. Or leave your answers here at the blog site. This is your opportunity to get more of what you want/need. In order to provide it, I must know what it is. So respond, please:
1: Are you a freelance writer, editor or author (hopeful author)?
2: What is your topic/genre?
3: Describe your work as a freelance writer or editor.
4: If you are currently working on a book or have one or more published, describe it (them).
5: How long have you been writing for publication (or with publication in mind)?
6: What type of information do you seek through the blogs you visit?
7: What would you like to see more of in this blog?
