Here’s an excerpt from our lead article, “Write Local - Get the Writing Jobs in Your Own Backyard”:

Writers are seduced by the Internet, and if you’re a new writer, this is not a good thing. You’re forgetting that there are writing jobs you can get locally, in your own backyard.

Local writing jobs are easy to get. They build your writing experience, develop your contacts, and are a stepping stone to the wider world of writing for global markets.

So assuming that you’re a new writer, how would you go about getting local writing jobs?

Start by realizing that there are writing jobs are everywhere, and that 99 per cent of them are never advertised.

In this week’s issue of Fab Freelance Writing Ezine, our article is “Short Report Secrets - Turn Instant Information Into Dollars”.

If you’d love to write and sell ebooks, but just don’t have the time, writing short reports may be the answer.

Here’s an excerpt:

Ebooks have never been more popular, simply because they offer instant gratification. If I want to know how to lose weight, how to take better photographs or how to re-mortgage my home, there’s an ebook which will help me.

For a writer, the only downside to ebooks is that they can take a month or so to write. During this month, if you’re a full-time writer, you’re also writing other material to keep the wolf from the door.

But did you know that ebooks can be short? Indeed they can. Short ebooks, of five to ten pages, are called short reports. They’re fast and easy to write; I can write one in an afternoon, and I’m sure you can too.

This week in Fab Freelance Writing Ezine we talk about mining your life and experiences for your writing.

Here’s an excerpt from the Editorial:

Recently I was chatting with a writer who wanted to create a blog about writing. She was just starting out as a freelancer, but had written a book.

“Why a writing blog in particular?” I asked.

She’d sent me some information about herself, so I knew she was retired from teaching, ran a bed and breakfast, and had just written a book about surviving cancer. She’d led an enormously varied life, with endless material she could use.

I considered that with her life experience, she had a huge range of topics to blog about, and choosing “writing” seemed a little timid to me.

It turns out she’d never thought of blogging about kids and teaching, or about running a bed and breakfast (which would present a huge opportunity for advertising her own B & B) or cancer-survival. She was interested in writing, read many writing blogs, and her mind naturally tended in that direction when she considered blogging.

Yes, she could certainly blog about writing, but if she did that, chances are she’d run out of material. On the other hand, if she wrote about her other life experiences, and there was little likelihood she’d be stumped for things to write about.
