Phew! What a Busy Year!
Posted Tuesday, January 19
My intention to update this column more frequently went by the wayside when 2009 became the busiest year ever at The Write Answer! My sincere gratitude to the wonderful writing and mentoring clients who made that possible. Fundraising is such a rewarding arena to work in and the people so marvelous to work with.
In order to focus more on those terrific folks, I'll be putting the Solution Sandbox Blog on the backburner for a bit and tweets are likely to be few and far between on my Twitter account.
If this is your first visit to my site, welcome. Please look around and feel free to contact me with any questions. It's always fun to hear from colleagues...and yes I'm happy to fill you in on the weird weather in Nebraska, whether we're having a blizzard or a heat wave!

The eBook is Here!
Posted Friday, June 27
Thanks for stopping by The Write Answer to hear the big news...my new eBook is finally ready! It's called, How to Make Money as a Freelance Fundraising Copywriter and it's the book I wish I'd had when I started out!

As a fledgling fundraising copywriter, I was truly "winging it" when I began searching for clients, trying to figure out who to ask for once I found a company and even, how to price my work. In my new eBook, edited by Bob Bly, you'll find all the tips and techniques I wish I'd known long ago to break into fundraising copywriting.

And, it's not just my experiences you'll benefit from - I tapped over 100 years of fundraising knowledge by talking with many experts in the industry. Chapter 10 is an entire interview with an actual client who answers all the questions freelancers want to ask. That information alone would've saved me endless hours of agonizing over what my clients were really thinking about and wanting from me as a freelancer.

I hope you'll check out the book at www.ctcpublishing.net/cmd.php?Clk=2467470. If you're interested in learning more about getting into the fundraising niche, you can also check out my mentoring plans by clicking on the Services page.
