Emerson shows freelancers how to write the kind of short, snappy articles today's magazines want. She reveals how to use "throwaway time" for generating ideas and casually interviewing people, why short pieces can be a foot in the editorial office door, and how to match the work to the market.

Amazon.com Review
"The secret is to take the time you have--however brief--and use it wisely." And author Emerson, herself a successful freelancer, shows us how to do just that, using the stray "bytes" of time in our modern, fragmented lives to produce articles, reviews, and humor pieces that sell. While focusing on 30-minute "game plans," Emerson admits her "time guerrilla" approach may not work for getting what Ed Abbey calls your "fat masterpiece" done, but this book will get you writing--or at least strip away any remaining excuse for not getting it done.

This review is from: The 30-Minute Writer (Paperback)
I've used Connie's ideas to build a career. Editors LOVE short articles. This book shows you how to write them and gives you lots of ideas on where to send them.

Not for the would-be novelist,
By A Customer
This review is from: The 30-Minute Writer (Paperback)
Relatively easy to read and contains some useful strategies for article writers. However, strategies are not all that useful for those writing longer works. It remains on my reference shelf, but I doubt if I will ever get much out of it
