Thank you for your great advice. The hardest part is sending out regular query letters. My inner critic just doesn’t want to take a holiday, especially when I’m trying to come up with story ideas and send out queries.

Thank you so much, Kimberlee, for reading and for your compliments! There have been many times when I’ve been a “follower” and did what others have done to be successful…than, I realized I need to figure out what will make ME successful and figure out how to be a leader. I’m still a work in progress!

Hi Jenn! Great tips on getting your name out there. (And I love the virtual book signing concept!!) You’ve always been such a self-starter, I’m so proud of all your hard work!

As writers, we have to be creative with how we present ourselves to the world. Doing the unexpected will definitely get our writing noticed.

Thank you, Rebecca, for hosting day one of my virtual book tour! I appreciate your support!

Thank you to Michele and Heiddi for your comments and compliments! It’s been a long road to travel, and I have to keep reminding myself it’s a constant learning process. For example, the first time I ever submitted to a website, there was no mention of the need for SEO and things like that…now, it’s routine. Interesting how things change!

Excellent tips, Jenn! I totally agree. Some of the best advice I’ve ever received about writing was to not sit around waiting on freelance work to come to me, and to be active in my search for gigs and clients. I took that advice to heart – it works!

Congrats on all your success, Jenn – it’s so exciting to watch!!!

Hugs,
Michele
