10 Tips For Writing Life Stories That People Want To Read |
|
|
 Susan notes: I asked my friend, author and prolific writer Jo Parfitt to share some tips on storytelling and writing. Here are her top 10 for writing Life Stories that people want to read.
When you conduct an interview you will nearly always ask more questions
than you need, and spend more time interviewing than is necessary. These tips will help you to conduct an amazing interview:
1) Ask fewer than ten questions and be sure that those questions are open (they won’t get you a yes or no answer).
2) If you do an email interview then encourage your interviewee to write in full sentences. Tell them up front how many words, lines or sentences you expect their answers will be.

Networking 101 |

The entrepreneurial path is not always easy for newcomers. Often, it’s the first time you’re actually representing yourself – and that’s a whole different ball game than having the political clout of a major corporation behind you.
It can be lonely out there, especially for those of us who are a bit shyer than we’d like to admit. Not all women entrepreneurs are naturally outgoing and aggressive.

Stay Psyched AFTER Success |

Whatever you do - sports, business, volunteering - perhaps the only thing harder than winning is… winning again!
Getting that next writing assignment, winning new clients, starting a new book or article or dealing effectively with a challenging situation can be as difficult, perhaps even MORE difficult, the second time around as it was the first.

AWR launched two years ago. To keep it subscription-free, I need to migrate the site to a new platform that will more easily allow advertising. I don't have the funds to do it alone, so I'm inviting visitors and fans to invest in the future of AWR with me. If AWR inspires you, please make a donation to take it to the next level. Even $5 - $10 will help. Thanks for your support, Susan
