Member Benefit: Discount on Geoff Hart’s Write Faster With Your Word Processor

January 14, 2022 Post a comment

Write faster with your word processor! Whether you’ve been using your word processor for years, or have just begun to learn a new program, it’s easy to fall into the trap of complacency and accept a basic skill level. But whether you write for pleasure or write for a living, you should be spending more time writing and less time figuring out how to use the tools. In Write Faster Using Your Word Processor, Geoff will teach you how to use your software more effectively—both the tools you’ve used previously and new tools you haven’t yet tried. The skills apply equally well whether you write fiction or non-fiction. Although Geoff will use Microsoft Word 2019 to make the explanations more concrete, the same approach will work equally well with any word processor.

Book Review: Wicked Innocents

December 31, 2021 Post a comment

Wicked Innocents

Author: S.H. Livernois

 

A young girl claims that her family has changed. Not in personality, but as if their bodies have been overtaken. Nelly Huggett does not feel loved by her mother, and people say she exaggerates a bit too much. Fellow classmates have ridiculed her, and her brother doesn’t even like her. So is Nelly telling the truth?

While her aunt takes Nelly in when she runs away from home on the night of Halloween, Aunt Emma believes Nelly is lying. However, it has been three days and no one has answered the phone at the Huggett house, not even a cellphone.

The Frontenac sisters, Hyla and Lizeth, are on the case. As supernatural sleuths, Hyla and Lizeth drive to the home of Aunt Emma at the bequest of a phone call from Nelly. After confronting Emma’s denial that anything is going on in Nelly’s house, the four of them drive to Nelly’s home in search of clues.

In Wicked Innocents, S.H. Livernois quickly builds suspense through the description of the emptiness and eeriness of the Huggett home. And then once the missing family members are discovered, the mystery evolves as the Frontenac sisters continue to investigate to determine if Nelly is telling the truth or filled with anger and lies.

While there is not an overwhelming number of characters, there are a handful of characters that are easily confused. The Frontenac sisters, Hyla and Lizeth, have different strengths, but their personalities are not different enough, making them easily confused. Emma and Gillian, Nelly’s aunt and mother, respectively, can easily be confused, leading to some interactions needing to be re-read. And Miles and Jack, Nelly’s father and brother, can be confused too, especially in a discussion about a dispute with a neighbor.

Though additional description of these characters could be added to further separate them from one another, and this lack of description causes some slowdown in the reading to completely understand a few scenes, this does not take away from the overall enjoyment of the book.

In reading this novel, it was obvious the book is still in need of a proofreader. There were errors in punctuation and a few developmental questions, such as an undifferentiated pronoun, making a sentence difficult to understand.

Overall, we enjoyed this novel. The author has a skill for writing mystery and suspense to capture the audience and involve the reader until the end.

A December Focus

December 13, 2021 Post a comment

It’s the end of the year. A time for holiday parties and festivities, and as a business owner, it is a time for me to touch my current and former clients with holiday cards.

While I have spent the month of November writing and addressing these cards, December is when they are mailed out, so for the rest of the month I spend it focusing on my business and planning for the new year.

I review my business’s mission statement and how it affects my marketing plan. I review the types of clients I have worked for and how our relationship has stayed true to my mission statement.

I also review my monthly marketing plan’s goals, to determine the ones I want to continue focusing on and ones that need to be updated. These goals allow me to proactively market each month without delays, as the marketing plan is one of my guides and maps to success!

Book Chat: Marcia Rosen

November 29, 2021 Post a comment

Today’s podcast episode is a Book Chat episode, where we get to know one of the books that has been published by a fellow NAIWE member.

Our guest today is Marcia Rosen.

Marcia Rosen (aka M. Glenda Rosen) is a marketing and public relations advisor for authors and a senior team member creating out-of-the-box strategies for a marketing/advertising agency and client projects. She was owner and founder of a business/marketing and public relations agency and consulting firm in New York City; The Hamptons; and Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the company served as advisors to a wide range of national, regional, and local clientele. Marcia has presented book marketing and public relations programs at local and national events, including major book conferences, for nearly 20 years. In addition, she has worked with numerous authors developing and implementing plans to create an awareness of them as authors and gain recognition and sales for their books, including book launch campaigns and ongoing actions both through social media and traditional activities. Marcia is the author of ten books. She has published numerous articles and is a member of Sisters In Crime Los Angeles and Albuquerque, Central Coast Writers, Public Safety Writer’s Association, and Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers.

 

Q: How long have you been a writer? And what piqued your interest about this industry?

I’ve been writing books for almost twenty years, first business, then memoir and last eight two mystery series. I wanted to be a writer since I was 14.

 

Q: Is this your primary profession, or do you have other careers?

It is now. Prior to this, I owned a full-service marketing and public relations agency offices in New York, California, and New Mexico.

 

Q: When did you first have the idea for this book? And what inspired you to actually write this book?

The idea of the Senior Sleuths Mystery series was a combination of loving the Thin Man series and wanting to write mysteries and adventures with seniors being active, interesting, exciting, and adventurous with a touch of romance mixed in with murder.

 

Q: What prompted you to publish the book when you did?

Good timing for seniors and me as a senior.

 

Q: What did you learn while working on this book? And what were some challenges you faced during the writing or publication of this book?

I kept at it same as in business. I don’t listen to negative voices, only let people I trust read and edit it.

 

Q: What avenues have you used to market your book? And which ones were the most successful for you?

Lots! Signings at bookstores and conferences, social media actions, networking,  guests on blogs and not going programs on zoom, which are very helpful.

 

Q: Where has this book been mentioned, and has it won any awards?

It has been mentioned on Goodreads, Amazon, social media, mystery blogs, Mystery Scene Magazine, and it placed second with Public Safety Writer’s Association—a great organization. It won first place for writing, “My Memoir Workbook.”

 

Q: Is there anything else you’d like to share with our listeners?

Accept and act on how important it is to stay visible with your book and you as an author.

Product Review: PerfectIt Cloud Makes Progress

October 29, 2021 Post a comment

It seems PerfectIt 5 is an editor’s heaven, but I’m not privy to the software as an iMac user. The latter didn’t seem bothersome as I’ve been in a habitual, dedicated relationship with one document editing system for a few years now. However, when I heard Intelligent Editing was creating a new PerfectIt Cloud software, I jumped gleefully at the opportunity to review it. Since compelling iMac owners to purchase a PC solely to accommodate PerfectIt didn’t seem plausible, the engineers at Intelligent Editing created a Cloud version of the software. The idea of linking a document editing program to The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) Online seems like an encounter with a mythical creature. It’s the Pegasus for which other editing software programs didn’t think to capitalize.

Manually thumbing through CMOS can be intimidating on a good day and downright daunting when one needs to retrieve a style rule in a jiffy. Conveniently, PerfectIt Cloud provides a digital experience where professionals have direct access to CMOS guidelines and modifications with a click of the PerfectIt button in Word’s title bar. After several weeks of tinkering with the software, the CMOS collaboration is its most significant selling point. It is the rock star driving the reason PerfectIt Cloud may be more attractive to professionals who rely heavily on CMOS. When I failed to italicize “The Chicago Manual of Style” in my review’s rough draft, the software presented a pleasant but assertive message, “The title of a book is usually italicized, including an initial ‘The’ belonging to the title. See more from CMOS 8.168.” Agreed. Thank you kindly for the reminder and the rule!

In my current editing practice, I’m accustomed to completing an assessment within a certain amount of time, depending on the word count. Therefore, my one criticism is the time the program takes to complete an error and consistency check. Although seeing the CMOS rules appear beside my Word document made me giddy, it took more time to see them than I preferred. My waiting period for a document containing 1,400 words or less is roughly twenty minutes, sometimes much longer. I’ve conducted several assessments on various documents (professional editing projects, blog posts, graduate school writing assignments) at different times of the day. Unfortunately, my efforts were inconsequential.

Chris McKay, the customer support manager at Intelligent Editing, graciously spoke with me regarding my issue. He provided insight into and a remedy for the lag time. Unlike PerfectIt 5, the Cloud requires continuous internet connection and patience. Any break in connectivity, however slight, may cause a lag in the editing assessment. Additionally, McKay informed me an Apple user might run into issues using a Windows add-on. He recommended a hard drive partition; it splits the Mac drive into two sections—one for the Mac system and one for Windows. That way, the user can choose the Windows operating system when she wants to use PerfectIt for a timely edit.

Is the Cloud version as perfect as its Windows-friendly counterpart? Not yet. But McKay and the engineers at Intelligent Editing are working to make it so.

Growth Is Seasonless

October 11, 2021 Post a comment

Some of my clients have a seasonal schedule. They have a busy season and a season when there is almost no work. When I first picked up these clients, this dry spell worried me. I worried about having little work, which led to few checks in the mail.

However, as time passed, I began to manage my budget better to save during the feast to survive the famine, but even then I had time to fill.

I joined a few associations and became active in them, growing my online presence and credibility and networking with fellow professionals. I used this time to grow relationships by attending in-person and online networking events.

I also began using this down time to expand my skills through live webinars and on-demand training so I could be more valuable to my clients and provide them with additional knowledge.

Finally, I used this time to do or prepare for speaking engagements and work on my own projects, such as writing my own book or preparing to teach a new class resulting in multiple streams of income.

Here at NAIWE, we emphasize the importance of building multiple streams of income. That way, if one stream dries up, you have others to rely on while you create a new one.
