Getting Down to Business: A Serious Writers' Series

This is the official kickoff of our series, which will focus on topics for writers who are serious about the writing business. We have chosen six themes that are central to the success of a business and we will tailor our research and articles to address its unique (or not so much) aspects.

Getting Down to Business Series Themes:

1. Business Basics (business & marketing plans, goals and performance measures)
2. Marketing (Web presence, contests, submissions, PR)
3. Networking (Online networks, writer & publishing organizations, conferences & events)
4. Writing Categories (Fiction, non-fiction, freelance & copywriting, blogging)
5. Tools of the Trade (hardware and software for writers, books & articles, project tools)
6. Publishing (traditional publishing-agent/editor, self-publishing, e-publishing)

We intend to cover topics relevant to our themes, but not in linear order. After all, life doesn't happen that way. Rather, the story will unfold as episodes from each of the six story lines, providing readers with a variety of interesting perspectives to consider.

Karen will lead off with the first shocking article on a hidden truth she discovered in the local Pacific Northwest writing community. You won't want to miss it!
