NEED A BOOK COACH, GHOST WRITER, OR EDITOR? (PART 2)
by Judy Cullins
Category: General http://www.wordpreneur.com/general
If you either want to write a book to help others create a
better life and boost business or you already have your
book nearly finished, you may need book coaching to answer
all of your questions "What step to take next?"
Know Your Editing Choices
- Line editing. Use this final professional edit after you
have already revised your work three times. These three
revisions include: excluding all redundancies, reworking
all the words and sentences so they are your finest with
few passive verb constructions (aim for 2-4%) and
relatively short sentences. Finally, look at headings,
paragraphs and transitions to make sure your message
carries power through placement and is easy to read.
These editors charge $50 an hour or more.
- Developmental editing. While you put your writing, ideas
and sentences forth, a developmental editor will not just
polish your syntax, but fill in gaps you don't want to
take time for. It's practically like ghost-writing and
you need to choose a really professional editor who will
not do this work on spec, but will charge you an hourly
fee of $60 an hour plus or by the project.

HOW TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POSTPONING YOUR DREAMS
by Yuwanda Black
Category: Motivation http://www.wordpreneur.com/motivation
Do you have a dream, but keep postponing it because you
feel trapped by the responsibilities of life? Want to be a
writer, work from home, own your own business? First, we
will examine how your dream got deferred. Then, we will
outline definitive steps to get you back on track.
"How did I get to this point in my life?" Many of us look
back and realize if we had it to do again, we would do some
things differently. As the owner of a staffing agency for
the last seven years, I have developed a theory.
In my opinion, many people "fall" into a job. Most accept
the first decent paying position out of school. If it's not
something they're particularly crazy about, they surmise
they'll take this until they figure out what it is they
really want to do.
Usually, the demanding responsibilities of rent, student
loans, credit cards, etc. take over, making it hard to
focus on what they really want to do. After 3, 5, 7 years
in a field, it becomes more difficult to move into a
different area because it often means a salary cut. At this
point, however, a salary cut is often out of the question
because of the above-mentioned responsibilities. It evolves
into a vicious cycle.
So, how do you break the cycle? The guidelines outlined
below will put you well on your way to achieving your
dreams. Some of this advice will fly in the face of what
you have been told all your life. It's up to you to decide
if your dream is important enough to accept it.

10 PROFITABLE TIPS FOR ARTICLE WRITERS
by Ken Hill
Category: Technique http://www.wordpreneur.com/technique
1. Write to one person.
When you're writing your article picture one person that
you are writing to. This will make your writing more
personable and help you to keep your readers interested in
your article.
2. Use lots of white space within your article.
Using lots of white space will help you to make your
article look more professional and keep more of the skim
readers interested in your article.
If you have paragraphs that are too long, try to break them
up into two or three paragraphs so that your article will
be easier to read.
