Hello everyone!
The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. ~Anaïs Nin
Hope you had a good meeting in May! I didn’t make it. Too much Memorial Day stuff going on at our house. I hope you all learned some new grammar hints from the presentation. My website has a new look, and I hope you’ll take a look here and give me your comments. I will be revising some content in the coming weeks with a new focus on developing web content.
Also I wanted to share this post with any of our aspiring freelancers. 8 Easy Steps to Warm up Cold Calls. This post was written by Jennifer Woodard as a guest post on the Writing4Effect blog. I have directed you to this blog a few times in the past with some great information. Check it out by following the link.
I”ve asked Jeff if we could possibly do a session at one of our meetings on freelancing advice. If you’re interested, let us know by posting a response to this post. It would be great if more of our group would get involved in conversation on this blog. Remember this is Your Blog as a participant in FWA/Palm Coast!
Have a good month.

I thought this guest post on Writing4Effect was worth posting here. Remember what you’re worth. Don’t sell yourself short. And remember what Samantha says about staying connected with other writers. Network, network, network and be sure to stay involved with your writing groups – including our great Palm Coast Chapter of The Florida Writers’ Association.

Hi FWA/Palm Coasters!
Check out this site about writing
I ran across this site/blog today while I was doing some research on how to charge for press releases. Although some of the info is a bit older, I thought it was a useful site for any of you that are looking to do writing on small projects or proofreading. I especially found the survey on “what to charge” interesting at this page This survey seems to be from a few years ago, but I don’t think the world of writing has changed all that much with the economic condition we have been challenged with, so the rates are probably pretty much the same.
I think it is important to always keep in mind our geographic location when pricing services. For instance, a former student that worked for our department at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University is now in New York City. In addition to her regular banking job at a pretty high level, she has started a resume writing service. At $95 per page with a 3-page minimum, she’s gets a nice bit of income for a resume; however, as we all know, Palm Coast is definitely not New York City, in spite of the fact that many former New Yorkers call this home! Now we all know there’s no way we can charge like that locally, but I think it is important to be aware of our own skill level and not to sell ourselves short. We have a skill that many folks are willing to pay for. Remember that.
Just like your website should have a “call to action” on each page, so it is with a blog post too, so I am calling you to action. Tell me what you think and leave a comment!!
Happy writing!!!
