- About Me:
- For 20+ years, I have been a writer and editorial contributor, including three years as an in-house editor for three publications. I continue to write articles for trade and consumer publications and Web sites, as well as produce direct mail pieces, press releases, brochures and other collateral, Web content/sites, product enclosures, catalog copy, print ads, radio and video scripts, and advertorials. I handle either just the writing aspects of a job or run full production of print pieces and Web content from start to finish, creating teams and directing designers, printers and other associates. Industries I’ve written for include medical, legal, substance abuse rehab, business, banking and investment services, automotive, apparel, pet products and veterinary, children’s products, health products, IT, office machines and hair products/services. In addition, I also do PR work for different companies, placing speakers for industry events and finding placement for their articles in traditional print publications as well as online, posting the articles on appropriate sites. I also develop and implement budget-minded marketing plans for small companies.
I'm also the co-founder of Book Candy Studios. A viral marketing company that helps authors and publishers reach readers.

You May Not Be Famous, But You ARE A Celebrity ;-)
You may not be "famous," but in your readers' eyes YOU ARE A CELEBRITY!
Stop belly aching that "you haven't made it big." Do you know how many people in the world would give their two front teeth to have readers who want to know about them? Do you know how wonderful it is that you wrote a book... th… Continue

How Much Does Luck Contribute to an Author's Success?
Luck Be Our Lady!
How much does luck contribute to an author's success?
When I think about luck and writing, one of the first word sets that comes to mind is Harry Potter. That is far more than a story of success for a down-and-out writer who was on social services sitting in a coffee shop every day with her infant at her feet writing her book. An ex-school teacher who was writing for no one but herself. That is truly a story of phenomenal… Continue

AUTHORS! Stop Obsessing About The Numbers ;-)
Most tech data points are just that. They reflect data … not people. Can you really directly translate hits and page views to readers (they could be bots)? Is there anyone out there who can directly correlate an Amazon ranking to actual number of bo… Continue

Looking To Get Interviewed On "Oprah" or "The View"? ... STOP!
Sign up for my seminar now! (Respond by the end of the month to receive $250 off!)
!!!!!! STOP !!!!!!!
Time for a Reality Check.
Do NOT fall for this tactic. If you think you are going to sign up for a seminar, plopping down hundreds of dollars to some guru who promises to get you on the shows of your dreams, so you can sell, sell, sell books, stop right now. This is not brain surgery, people. I'v… Continue

About
Welcome San Diego Writers!
Keep a few things in mind as you post here:
1. Posts are public.
This is a public forum and all posts are archived on the web. Bottom line, don't say anything here you wouldn't want everyone (and I mean EVERYONE: your mom, your little brother, your future employer) to see. Forever.
2. Be On Topic.
This is a group of writers. We're here to talk about writing, the creation of writing, the business of writing, events about writing. We are also a community of friends to some extent, which means that on occasion, non-writing topics will come up. Use the Start a New Discussion link if you want to change topics, and be sure to Title and Tag your post appropriately. That way your fellow writers will be able to scan the list of active discussions and see which ones are of interest.
3. Be Respectful.
Don't really foresee a problem here, but we gotta say it anyway. Disagreements are fine, but please please don't resort to personal insults and/or name calling. Mean people are not cool and harassment, intentionally inflammatory remarks, and bigotry will not be tolerated.
4. Privacy.
We'll respect yours. We won't give away or sell names, contact information, etc. Please do the same for your fellow community members.
5. SPAM. Don't.
6. Ads.
Part of the deal with using this wonderful, free online tool (ning.com) is that it has Ads running along the side. We can upgrade to a professional account, but it will cost $20 per month, so if it bothers you, be prepared to pony up.
