Open Thread: What do YOU want to know about?

Is there a subject you’d like to see covered here? Or maybe there’s a post that you really enjoyed, and you’d like me to revisit? Perhaps you’d like to see more Q & As? Or more newsy posts? Let me know what you’d like to read about, and I’ll work on incorporating it in the future. As always, thanks for the feedback!

    It is like admitting that you have no ideas afterall… :)

  2. Susan Johnston says:

    Nah, I have plenty more ideas for posts, but it’s always good to check in with readers and make sure you’re meeting their expectations/needs.

  3. Jaclyn says:

    Hey Susan, I like how you reached out and asked readers what they want… I might do something similar over on my blog. Anyways, I really enjoyed the post about business cards, I find that I like it when you write about the business-related aspects of writing. Your writing tips are great, too!

    I’m not interested so much into freelancing, but I am trying to find my niche. Perhaps an entry on that?

    I always enjoy reading about your personal experiences with editors/clients and situations and tips for that particular situation should it arise for your readers. I also love learning about your new clips!!

    I think you’re doing a great job with this blog, Susan–it just keeps growing and getting better and better!!

    :-)

    Susan – thanks for asking. I would love to see the odd interview with editors and literary agents on the state of the morphing publishing industry. :)

  7. Susan Johnston says:

    Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll work on these.

    Hi Susan! I love posts about how to promote your writing business via the internet, how to attract readers to your site, spread the word, etc.

    Tips on writing Press Release for different angles.

    1) Parent- Child
    2) Kids
    3) General

    Press release for FEATURE articles to Advertorials

    How do you get rid of fragments and align your thoughts according to the theme.

    Is there a format on Press Release?

    Miss you!

    @Kassy: To avoid sentence fragments, just make sure you have a subject and verb in each sentence. Sometimes the subject can be implied (like the implied "you" in the command "Go to your room!"). Sometimes a fragment can be effective but it needs to be intentional and purposeful. Here's a good resource on formatting press releases: http://www.publicityinsider.com/release.asp
