Welcome to the Writer's Guide, Launched 8.16.23

Here's what you can expect from this weekly newsletter and my mentoring and coaching opportunities

The Writer’s Guide is a free weekly newsletter for writers who create non-fiction articles aimed at a general audience (lay readers) and want to improve their craft. I’ll be sharing the fundamentals and the secret sauce of successful writing based on my 30-plus years experience writing, editing and managing newspapers and online publications. This is my opportunity to give back to the writing community, and I’m really excited to serve as a mentor to more writers than ever. You can learn about me and the subscription options—including one-on-one coaching opportunities—on the About Page. 

Since I’ve just launched, I want to give you a preview of a fraction of the essays and guides I have planned for the weeks and months ahead:

• What’s Your Angle?

• Pitch First, Then Swing

• Three Rules of Engaging Writing

• Write What You Know or Know What You Write?

• Writers Should Serve Cake First, Then Veggies

• Ask the Dumb Questions

• Jettison Your Jargon

• Why Did My Story Flop?

This is going to be fun. Writing should be fun. I hope you’ll grab a free subscription to join me for this weekly exploration of better writing. If you have questions about writing, I invite them via this Google Form. We’re going to take this journey together. Join me?
