Write On!

Welcome to Write On! my newsletter for writers. Each weekly issue will provide a unique subscriber-only tip, perspective, or idea on writing—the creative, the intellectual, or the business aspects of writing. Please subscribe for free here:

In my lifetime of writing I’ve found that writers can get blocked in any of these areas—it’s not just the creative block. Running out of money can block you creatively, but writing professionally as a technical writer can exhaust you creatively. How are we supposed to make a living and create and live a good life all at the same time? That’s what Write On! is all about.

The goal here is to share ideas and experiences. Obviously, I will share mine. I invite you to add your voice, as well. Creative tips, publishing tips, writing for business ideas, marketing yourself… all these can help this community.

Who Am I to Say?

I have been a writer since the 1980s—yup, that makes me an old hat. I freelanced, worked as poetry editor for a small press, edited and published a small literary journal, started and ran a technical writing company for ten years, and wrote training, white papers, and RFP responses for major corporations as an outside consultant for another ten years. I have six books on Amazon, and have just turned to a different kind of writing on Medium.com, Substack, and other writer-friendly platforms. I’m sharing this experience as it unfolds, together with my years of experience in other kinds of writing.

Coaching for Business Writers

If you are a writer who serves businesses as a technical writer, marketing writer, training developer, grant or RFP writer, or similar functions, I offer you years of expertise in the form of coaching. Free 30-minute sessions are available here. I’ll provide my expertise from 25 years of working with business clients. If you decide you want more coaching, we can talk about that, too.
