——————–
I make my living freelance writing supplements and ancillaries for college textbook publishers. This Wednesday I’ll be the featured guest on the Text and Academic Authors Association podcast on BlogTalkRadio:
Ever wondered who writes all those college textbook test questions, lecture outlines, instructor’s manuals, study guides, and other materials that help students learn better and instructors teach better? Freelance writers like John Soares, that’s who. John, the author of “Writing College Textbook Supplements: The Definitive Guide to Winning High-Paying Assignments in the College Textbook Publishing Market,” will tell you what you need to succeed in this field, including how to get the attention of higher-education textbook editors and convince them to hire you; how to get your projects done well and quickly; and how to get paid well.

2. Anyone interested in my freelance writing career.

Very cool, John. Looking forward to listening to it!
Glad to have you aboard, Tristan. Let me know if you have any questions.
John, Be sure you are rested and properly nourished before the radio talk, and warm up your voice by saying “om” quietly and smoothly. Take 3 good breaths before you start to oxygenate your system and clear out nervousness. Stay patient, in case things go wrong. Do not evade or ramble. Make good word choices. Do not multitask while doing this.
Break a leg!
Excellent–what a great way to share your knowledge, John! I will definitely be listening live and I am looking forward to it!
Great job on the interview, John–very informative! Listening to your interview has inspired me to get cracking on the project I’ve been avoiding this morning…
Thanks for the kind words Dionne. I’m glad it’s getting you back to work on your supplement project!
