Editorial Needs:
The focus of this site is to help writers manage
kids and clips under one roof. I am particularly interested in problem-solving
articles and essays. The tone may be serious or humorous. Preferred length for
feature articles or reprints is between 500 - 1,000 words.
Topics of Interest include:
Writing Trade/How To's: Tips, advice and suggestions to help writers
improve their craft. Such topics could include; querying, writing book
proposals, finding an agent, researching publications, writing fiction, fillers,
increasing income, the business side of freelancing, among others.
The Writing Life: How do you schedule your day? How do you get family and
friends to take your writing career seriously, and realize you really do work
from home?
Balance and Inspiration: How do you balance your writing career and
family without becoming a work-a-holic or live in complete chaos?
Organization: How do you manage information overload such as e-mail,
submissions and queries,
filing and other home-office duties enabling you to run your business in a
smooth fashion?

1. For original, unpublished work, I purchase first electronic rights with the option to archive indefinitely.
2. For reprints I purchase reprint rights and non-exclusive electronic rights with the option to
archive indefinitely.
