WriterAccess Weekly Round-up: Writers Unite!
Welcome back from the weekend! Some exciting stuff is happening over here at WriterAccess for our hard-working freelancers.

WriterAccess Weekly Round-up: What do Dr. Seuss and Groupon Have in Common?
Welcome back from the (non-long) weekend! I have one important word for writers this week: Trampoline. Finally.

WriterAccess Weekly Round-up: Blockbuster Blogging
Welcome back from the weekend! Poor, rainy, chilly weather in Boston has got me aching for summer.

WriterAccess Weekly Round-up: Learning from Funny Women
Welcome back from the weekend! I am distraught. As an editor, sure, maybe (maybe) certain errors upset me more than others. And sure, certain errors might upset me more than they should at all.

WriterAccess Weekly Round-up: Best and Worst of Blogging
Welcome back from the weekend! What I am going to talk about today is … how not to start blog posts incredibly boringly. (Step one: Don’t say “What I am going to talk about today is ….) People have short attention spans. People on the Internet have even shorter ones. If you don’t start off […]

WriterAccess Weekly Round-up: Blogs with Friends
Welcome back from the weekend! Last week, CopyBlogger dropped some blog-writing knowledge, Splinter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles–style.

My only question is: Is Donatello not […]

Welcome back from the weekend! It’s important to start Mondays off effectively; they set the tone for the rest of the week.

Welcome back from the weekend! We’re back to Monday. We’re back to getting up with your alarm (after using the snooze, of course).
