Looking for a Good Writer?
Are you having trouble completing writing projects?
If you answered “yes”, you’re not alone. Many small to mid-size businesses struggle to write quality materials. In fact, even large companies sometimes need help.
Can you relate to any of these common scenarios?
- You need to develop some training materials, but no one in your company has time to pull them together.
- You’ve been planning to write that copy for your website or business for weeks. You know what you want, but finding the time to write it is another story entirely. You’re so very busy.
- You’ve got a draft of your e-book almost ready to publish, but you know that it needs something. A good proofread would be nice. You’d also like someone to read it and make constructive suggestions.
- You need some copy written for your website or your business. You know the basics of what you want to communicate, but you just can’t seem to get the words right.
- You know that your website or business needs some copy, but you’re just not sure what to do about it.
If any of the previous scenarios describes you, then you are in luck.
You have reached WritingThoughts, the blog space for freelance writer, Laura Spencer. I can help.

Laura,
You may want to take a look at the BlogRush widget I recently added to my site. It’s free and may turn you onto some new writing blogs. I’ve been impressed where it has taken me in the realm of religion. Plus, it shares your blog posts on other people’s blogs. I haven’t seen much traffic yet, but I have seen some. It’s an interesting algorithm they use to determine how a blog gets promoted.

Hi Chris,
I tried BlogRush and dropped it. I’ve found Stumbleupon to be more effective.
Thanks anyway!

Hello,
I have a new book out and was curious if you would be interested in reading it. I just discovered your blog and saw you regularly post articles, which is just what I was looking for. I read a few of your pieces and hoped you might be interested in my book, a spiritual guide to creativity in the likeness of Julia Cameron’s Artist’s Way.
It’s an ebook called The Writer Who Smiles. I am an experienced freelance writer/editor with over 500 articles and essays to my credit. I would be interested in posting a short press release or to just get a review on your site. Below is a link to the book and a short synopsis.
The Writer Who Smiles
http://www.booklocker.com/books/3288.html
Part creative and spiritual guide, part story of a freelance writer, this book isn’t just for screenwriters, novelists, magazine or online writers: it’s for all those writers looking for success in the world, and all those readers wishing to understand what it means to write.
I hope you find this interesting enough to read.
I was hoping for anything really. It is very hard to promote a book, I am finding, and any help would be appreciated. I have a written press release, or I could send you a copy of it. Let me know what you think.
