September 7, 2011 Leave a comment

I’ve got exciting news!


Yours truly is featured in the monthly e-zine of esteemed freelance copywriter, Peter Bowerman. You know, the guy whose book is permanently featured down the right side of my website? Yeah, that Peter Bowerman.


Whoo hoo! I’m in the big-time, baby!


Here’s a link to the goods.

It’s in section four, DESSERT: Sweet Success Stories and Tips: OR FLCW Sets Her Writing Sights on Sportswear Giant and Scores!


I’d like to thank the Academy blah blah blah, my mom blah blah blah and wouldn’t it be great to have a little world peace around here?

Another Writer’s Market Plug…For Children’s Writers and Illustrators

Timing is everything. Though I came across some useful information too late for the graphic designer I met in April, I was able to furnish a children’s writer and children’s illustrator with timely and very well-received information: the 2010 Children’s Writer’s and Illustrator’s Market.

You’re welcome.

For Freelance Graphic Designers

Dear Man I Met Yesterday Who is Thinking About Becoming a Freelance Graphic Designer,

It occurred to me only after you had walked away that there might be an equivalent to Writer’s Market. I did some quick research this morning and found out that there is indeed an equivalent! It’s called Artist’s & Graphic Designer’s Market. I haven’t looked through this book, so I can’t professionally recommend it, but if it’s anything like Writer’s Market, I recommend it.

If only I had given you my business card we could have been in touch and I could have told you about it! Oh, well. Hopefully other aspiring freelance graphic designers and artists read this post and find the tools they need to get started in this book.

Cheers.

Published Blunders: Hemingway’s Words, Scribner’s Faux Pas

March 1, 2010 2 comments

The Sun Also Rises is a classic. Most people know this and if you don’t, don’t worry. There must be a very good reason why. First published by Scribner (now an imprint of Simon & Schuster) in 1926, I don’t know if other publishers and subsequent publications have this same error, but in my copy of Ernest Hemingway’s book, page 133 strikes a blow to Scribner’s proofreaders.

We paid for the message and walked back to the inn. Harris was there and the three of us walked up to Roncesvalles. We went through the monastery. ‘It’s remarkable place,’ Harris said, when we came out.

No, Harris, it’s not remarkable place. A remarkable place, perhaps, but remarkable place, never.

Are you taking notes Simon? Schuster?
