Update…
I had a fantastic response to my guest post on Carol’s blog (see details below). As of now the comment count stands at 37.
And the call with Carol had some great questioners from listeners. Carol and I discussed my freelance writing niche (writing college textbook supplements), and then we had some fun and insightful back-and-forth about how to be productive and successful freelance writer.
Thank You: to everyone who asked a question on the guest post or on the call, or who just read the guest post or listened on the call. And a major thank-you to everyone who purchased a copy of Writing College Textbook Supplements: The Definitive Guide to Winning High-Paying Assignments in the College Textbook Publishing Market, second edition.

I have two important announcements this week…
1. My Guest Post on Carol Tice’s Blog
Please go read my guest post on Carol Tice’s Make A Living Writing blog about my freelance writing specialty: creating supplementary materials for college textbooks.

Attaboy, John!
Great interview today, John! I really liked how you explained the steps necessary to contact textbook publishers and then potentially get good paying assignments. Your book has helped me score a couple of writing projects.
Thanks for all you do!
Thanks Stephanie! I’m glad you found the call useful. I really enjoyed talking with Carol and answering all the participants’ questions.
You did a great interview here John!!Congratulations for you!!!i hope I can interview her also…It will be a great achievement for me…
Hi John, I liked the interview. I didn’t know that people can make these figures working as freelance writer. This post opened my eyes 🙂 Thanks.
I’m glad the interview was so useful to you Melanie. Not many people know about this niche, how well it pays, and how relatively easy it is to break into it.
Congratulations, John! I’m off to reading your post on Carol’s blog.
P.S. I’m hoping to guest-blog for her, and right now I’m obsessing over my outline. If you have any tips for a good outline, it will be appreciated:)
Thanks,
Pinar
I hope you enjoy my guest post Pinar.
For outlines I first make a list of my main points in the order I want to make them, and then I add int sub-points. Good luck!
Thanks, John:)
