Abandoning Publishing Blog

Dear Readers,

After blogging about publishing this past year, I have decided to discontinue posting to this blog and focus on my Turkey blog which is my real passion. I have appreciated all the emails and comments on what I write about, and please feel free to write me about any questions you may have on writing, editing and research as I continue helping non-fiction authors, educators and consultants in this area.

Visit my Turkey blog which is all about living and working in Turkey and giving resources to keep you informed. Go to http://remarkablesolutions.typepad.com/foreign.

Also, here are a few of the best sites to go to about your Publishing interests:

Peter Bowerman, The Well Fed Writer at http://www.wellfedwriter.com. His newsletter serves up the best on being a money-making writer, and you can't beat his three books filled with the very best of how-to advice! Buy them.

Bob Bly, the guru of copywriting, http://www.bly.com. His books are the industry standard and his ezines never fails to give super tips and tricks.

Richard Armstrong, http://www.goddoesntshootcraps.com, who has a marvelous gem at his site, "Make More by Writing Less."

Joan Stewart, The Publicity Hound at http://www.publicityhound.com has the best expert PR material on the net, hands down.

Ali Brown, The Ezine Queen at http://www.ezinequeen.com gives expert advice on how to produce your ezine and has interesting and helpful ezines.

Thank you again and I hope to see you on my Turkey blog or my website at http://www.remarkablesolutions.com real soon!

Thanks for the mention, Beatrice.

Anyone who reads this blog and has a book will find dozens of ideas for creative press releases in my free email tutorial called "89 Ways to Write Powerful Press Releases."

The emphasis is on how to write press releases not only for journalists, but for consumers who can find them on the Internet, click through to your website, and maybe even buy one of your books.

I am pleased that I will have the opportunity to publish a book in the upcoming year, but I still have a way to go before the book hits the shelves. The editor is going to go over the manuscript on a page by page basis. I imagine that this will take a great deal of time. That is not a problem for me. I am a diligent writer and my desire to publish a book is a driving force that will keep me on my toes.
