DIY Copywriting

What's an author?

It wasn't easy and it's not the Great American Novel, but it's mine.

When I was growing up, I wanted to be a couple of things. Not one, but not too many, either. I wanted to be a sports reporter (I was and am a huge NFL fan, go Redskins!), an attorney and an author of nonfiction books.

Once in college, I decided the best route to writing and business was through reporting and journalism. I was still certain that writing nonfiction books was in my future.

While in journalism school, I decided that the world of sports of reporting was a bit unpredictable for me schedule-wise (I wanted to be a Mom, too!) and that business journalism was the way to go. I also felt this would be a great way to get to my ultimate goal of writing books. Lots of 'em.

Now, through some great twists and turns, I am an entrepreneur in the business of copywriting and marketing. And while I have written and edited tens of thousands of pages of websites, brochures, articles, blogs and books (electronic and hard copy) for other businesses, I hadn't until now actually become that author I've always known I was meant to be.

I did imagine my first book would be more of a memoir based on the life of my grandmother or on the working mother debate or on one of the other great ideas and passions I have, but my first book is actually simpler in topic and, at the end of the day, probably the most fitting of all - at least to start.

So...stay tuned for Copywriting 101 for Small Businesses, Entrepreneurs, Coaches & Consultants. It's coming this month! (And if you want to review it on your website or blog, let me know and I will send you a copy!)
