I have been a big fan of and a subscriber to Angela Hoy’s Writer’s Weekly for eight years now.
Angela is a former news reporter from Texas, now living with her family in Augusta, Maine. Angela is a true writer’s advocate firmly believing that all writers should be paid for their writing. Her approach is blunt and to-the-point, yet professional and personable. Every week she shares a bit of her family life with us – to a dedicated following. Her husband Richard produces articles about markeitng tools and techniques every writer should be using.
In addtion, there are the Ask the Expert, Letters to the Editor and Success Stories sections. Whispers and Warnings provides writers with a heads up on publishers and agents other writers have dealt with or are looking to deal with. Best of all is the Markets and Job section. WritersWeekly individually seeks and recieves approval for each listing they hand pick. This is where I found my very first paid writing assignment.
Through the newsletter, I have followed along as Angela went from being a single mom struggling to run a fledgling online business, to getting re-married to Richard, watching her children grow and mature, their travels and travails, homeschooling, having her fourth child, Max, four years ago with a fifth now on the way. I watched as their business grew and grew and is now a success.
In addtion to WritersWeekly.com they also own and operate their own publishing company and book store called BookLocker.com http://publishing.booklocker.com/ & http://www.booklocker.com/
Give Writer’s Weekly a look and subscribe to the newsletter. Tell Angie, Werner (her neighbor from New Hampshire) sent you.
