Latest issue of Fab Freelance Writing Ezine: Diversify!

Cross-posted from Angela Booth’s Writing Blog.

The latest issue of Fab Freelance Writing Ezine is online now. This week’s exclusive article is: “Diversify To Build Your Freelance Writing Career And Income”.

Here’s an excerpt from the editorial:

It’s fatal to your writing career to become too comfortable. You can and should aim to diversify, to increase your income and to build your freelance writing career.

However, diversifying is more difficult than you would think. When I first began my freelance writing career I started out by writing romance novels. My picture of myself as a writer at that early stage was VERY limited. According to my image of writers, they were novelists, and that’s all. But then suddenly I had a major block. I could no longer write romance, BUT I could still write. This was a revelation – I could write, and I did. I wrote copy for businesses, articles for magazines, and business books.

As you might imagine, this is not the ideal way to diversify, to wait until you’re completely blocked to change what you write. However, many writers find it hard to diversify. This is because each new writing area takes study. Starting out in a new area is challenging, you need to study, and be willing to make mistakes.

I’ve had lots of great feedback about this new ezine, thank you. Don’t forget that you can ask questions, and I’ll respond in the ezine.
