SiteReady, Aim, Specialize in Its Second Edition
The second edition of Kelly James-Enger’s fabulous book Ready, Aim, Specialize was just released by Marion Street press, publisher of The Renegade Writer and other writing books. Here’s the scoop:
When you develop a writing specialty, you set yourself apart from other freelancers, save time researching and writing articles and command higher fees for your work.
Contrary to what you might think, you needn’t be a PHD, or recognized “expert” to focus your writing in a particular area. Your educational background, life experience, and interest in certain subjects can all be translated into a writing-related specialty.
Best of all, using your background and experience can help you get your foot in the door with editors, nab your first writing assignments, and build a lucrative career. In the second edition of Ready, Aim, Specialize! you’ll hear from dozens of talented, successful freelancers about how to break into the field, find and interview sources, develop relationships with editors, and treat your writing like a business. You’ll also find samples of 20 queries that nabbed assignments from new writers to use as templates for your own query letters.
You’ll also learn:
* Why you should develop a niche of your own and determine which areas of your background can be mined for writing ideas
* What the top ten writing specialties are and how to break into and write about each one
* How to better market your work and research and write more efficiently
* How to find sources, research, data, and experts for articles
* How to maximize your time and income—and make more money as a freelancer
