How to Sell Yourself
By: VS Grenier
It‘s more than writing a good story or article when it comes to being noticed by publishers and editors. Think about it, how many bad books are out there making money? How many awful articles have you read in recent publications? Do you wonder how these writers are getting published and you’re not? Do you think it has to do with the catch 22 system? In some ways it does, but knowing how to sell yourself is key. You’re not just a writer, you’re a Salesman! And the product you’re selling is Yourself!
VS Grenier’s background in merchandise marketing has played a key role in how she sells herself as a writer and editor. Her ezine, Stories for Children Magazine wouldn't be making the head way it has over the past two years if it wasn't for the tips she’s learned in marketing product.
