Check out the details at http://markets.writerssuccess.com Post your freelance writer blurb to attract Editors and other Clients! Or, post a blurb about your freelance writing opportunity! http://writerssuccess.com/classifieds.htm I put months, years of work into the Paying Markets Database, and I hope that those of you that subscribe enjoy it! Get more assignments, pitch more stories, and best of all, they are all paying markets. There's no guessing, I have already done the research and emailing editors for you. Best of all, there's no need to search around once you click on a market's link - I have made sure that they all bring you directly to the publisher's guidelines, unless otherwise stated. I even let you know where to go if I can't get you there directly! (Such as with framed sites). At $4.99 for an entire year, this is a huge deal!!! Take advantage of it now! Well, I'm still trying to get used to attempting at writing during the day when my younger daughter is busy. It's still a little weird for me, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I have been added to another staff of writers writing ghostwritten keyword articles for the web. It's quite the challenge for me, because of all the keywords that have to be placed in the articles, especially since there needs to be a certain number of them, and some don't make any sense! But, I will get used to it, and it will be a nice addition to my portfolio, considering keyword articles are in high demand amongst certain web article companies, individuals and website owners. I hope to see more of you sign up for the Paying Markets Database before the special ends and the fee rises! Welcome new subscribers! Thanks to everyone for being a subscriber of Writer's Success, and don't forget about your free ebook!

MARKET. SELL. Nicky Allard, Editor http://writerssuccess.com/ Nicky's published works - http://nicoleallard.bravehost.com Letters to the Editor-mailto:nickyswriting@comcast.net **************************************************************** LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Dear Nicky, At the risk of seeming immodest, I'd like to nominate myself for your Writer of the Month spot. Until the end of October last year I was a well-paid middle manager with a good salary. In the end the stress got too much and I walked out on my job, despite the fact that my wife was expecting our first child at the end of December. I began writing seriously in March this year, and since then I've had 17 articles and stories published, with four more commissions in the bag. My success rate for queries and submissions is currently running at around 20% and I really think that I can make a go of a career as a writer. However, I do have one problem, and that's calling myself a writer. It just seems unnatural somehow. Perhaps seeing my name printed in a leading e-newsletter for writers might change that. I couldn't have done it without the love and support of my wife. To anyone else considering making the same move: it is possible. Keep up the work with a great e-zine!
