Please let me know how we can work together,
how I might improve my site or my services.


Before You Contact Me . . .

. . . please note: I do my best to answer readers' questions. Please understand that I receive about 400 e-mails each day.  If I tried to answer them all as completely as I'd like, I'd never get any work done.  Having said that, many of the articles that appear on this site and all over the Web are articles that were inspired by my readers questions--questions that weren't answered in any of my books for writers (see the home page for an overview of what those books are).  They certainly answer the questions I get asked most frequently and they come with complete indexes so you can easily find information by subject. So when I hear from from my readers, I benefit, but I also hope they will read my books first, do their homework, and--once done--ask away!  If there's something you want me to help you with that you can't find an answer to elsewhere, please feel free to contact me.  If it's important and you haven't heard back from me in a week, give me a little nudge. I try to answer every e-mail but occasionally something does get dropped or relegated to the SPAM file.

Book Proposal Help

Former book acquisitions editor Terry Whalin says, "editors and publishers don't read manuscripts. They read book proposals. In Book Proposals That Sell: 21 Secrets to Speed Your Success, you learn the inside scoop to achieve your dreams." I highly recommend it.

Promotion Services

You'll find direction in the Frugal Book Promoter for building your own media kit; if you choose not to build your own, the information there will make you a better partner for a publicist you might hire to help you. I recommend PressKit 24/7, the brainchild of publicists with over forty years' experience. We know the speed at which you need to work, and we know what it takes to get the media's attention. It was critical for us to be able to create professional online press kits for our own clients. So we understand what you need for yours.

Inspiration and Guidance for Catching Your Dream

Always wanted to write that memoir or finish that novel?

If you are a writer, then I'm pretty sure you have! Even experienced writers run up against a wall now and then.

 My good friend Allyn Evans made her writing dream come true in 2005. Recently Allyn contacted me about a workshop she’s putting together for individuals who want to push forward and make things happen in their own lives. Lately I've been paying more attention to positive thinking, affirmations, and manifesting my own good luck. Most of the visitors to this Web site know that I believe in providing self-help resources for writers, too,  so I thought this would be something you'd want to know more about.

Allyn and her collaborator, Pam Boyer, have been very successful in planning and launching projects and ventures. Let’s see…since I met Allyn, she wrote her own memoir, she launched a successful résumé writing business and she cruised for free (because she got on board as an enrichment speaker)…just to name a few things. And Pam has had similar success. She’s done things like launch a corporate training business and established a successful coaching practice. Just last May, Pam joined forces with Wild Quest to offer workshops where you swim with wild dolphins in the Bahamas.

Turns out now that these two women want to help you no matter how complicated or out-of-reach you believe your dream to be. The two have put together a new workshop titled:

Catch Your Dream: And Live It! 

The essentials of making life work for you can help build careers, too—specifically your writing career. The other thing is, I know this event will be catch your attention, too. I've watched Allyn's speaking career bloom. She is is an honored member of Toastmasters and had has charmed audiences the world over.

Contact Allyn Evans: E-mail: allynevans@suddenlink.net )  Phone: 1-405-612-7782 She is planning an ongoing program, online and off. Sign up for her e-mail list.
