  Twitter PR: Fabulous and easy to get presentation without sounding dumbed-down. I’d love to take Corrine Weisgerber’s social media PR class. Social media will not kill PR, but it does expose industry weaknesses. What’s Your Least Favorite Part of Freelance Writing? Mine: Phone interviews. [...]

• Hey! Your Book Review Sucks!

  November 19th, 2008 | Tags: reviewing
  

  Having just read two great articles about book reviewing, it felt appropriate to make this the next, “Hey!” blog entry. Joanna Young and Joyful Jubilant Learning ask what do you look for in a book review and Lillie Ammann reviews The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing.

• Hey! What Does Your Business Do?

  November 10th, 2008 | Tags: audience, testimonials, web site
  

  Ever receive a link to a business web site where you can’t figure out what the company does? The home page sounds like something from the company’s fancy and non-sensical mission statement. Unfortunately, many companies rely on content from their business plan and other internal documents. I had a brief client who did this. The filler [...]

• Hey! Where’s the Contact Info?

  November 5th, 2008 | Tags: contact, email
  

  I believe I’m a resourceful person. I try to find answers on my own through support pages, FAQ, research, search engines, and other resources. But we can’t find everything we need. We may need to contact people who have the information or the knowledge stored in their brain cells or on the computer’s hard drive. A Story… [...]
