The light of day has barely broke and already rainbow colored birds chirp encouraging symphonies on your windowsill. I cannot do this, you confess to them. Congratulations.You are a first time, published author who has awoken to face the morning, if not the music, of your first media interview. Stay on topic. Arrive prepared. Take control of the interview.This is the arsenal of vague anecdotes others have offered you. As someone who once made an actual living of asking questions, I would like to offer you a little insight from the other side with a few basic interviewing tips. First and foremost, I should explain, that there are three main components to every media interview, first impressions, final words and the five w’s. #1 First Impressions. Do not hesitate to introduce yourself gently with an agenda. For example: Author: Hello (insert name), I have been looking forward to this interview for weeks. I am grateful for the opportunity to speak about my book, (insert title) and also (list one or two topics of interest here). The topics of interest should pertain directly to you or your book. This is your agenda. Perhaps you are a hard to find expert in a non-fiction area, donating a percentage of proceeds to charity or maybe, you have created a uniquely flawed character that readers are responding to expectantly. This is your attempt to engage the interviewer with topics of interest from the start. It will make their job easier. It will also let them know you are prepared to actively participate in the information exchange that is about to take place. It should be noted, that once you have taken the initiative to introduce yourself gently with an agenda, an interviewer will more often than not make a note of the topics of interest and either incorporate them into their prepared questions or come back to them individually at the end of the interview. These questions will also benefit your interviewer during any awkward places in the session, where they feel it may be necessary to improve the dialog flow or perhaps make you more comfortable with the process. Either way, gently introducing yourself with an agenda ensures that part of the interview will be spent discussing what you feel is most relevant about yourself and your work. #2 The Five W’s. The who, what, when, where and why of each interview. Before your first interview transpires, take the time to list all of the potential questions that could be asked during your up-coming interview session, then formulate answers for them. Enlist assistance from your family, friends and publicist for this. Do not memorize this list, it will make you appear impersonal. However, it is highly recommended that you conduct practice interview sessions with anyone and everyone you trust. This exercise will give you an idea of what to expect, decrease the chances of being caught off guard and allow you to start comfortably incorporating overall themes into your answers. Authors with well prepared and thought out responses are easy to interview. My first assignment as a reporter was, surprise, the responsibility of interviewing a local author who had recently published her first young adult novel. I recall asking the author when she first knew that she wanted to be a professional writer. To the authors credit, she had arrived with a well thought out and interesting answer to this simple question. The author informed me of the following: As a child she had written all of her life ambitions down on a piece of paper, a piece of paper that had remained secured in a safety deposit box for over fifteen years. Having recently opened the box, the author herself was shocked to see the words ‘write my own book’ near the top of the list. I opened my first article with this personal account and it landed on the front page of the weekend features section - not a bad start for either the author or myself. #3 The Final Words. Be gracious, but leave them wanting more. For example: Author: Thank you, (insert name). I appreciate the time you have dedicated to this interview. I look forward to the possibility of speaking with you again when (insert up-coming event here). The up-coming event you mention must be newsworthy, perhaps when the contracted movie versionof your book hits theaters or when you have a solid release date for the next title in your three part series. Remember, the media is always on the hunt for two things - new story ideas and contacts. By ending the interview this way, you have just provided your interviewer with the potential promise of both. It is important in this stage of your career to build relationships with members of the media. To that affect, a general etiquette rule and standard practice, is to follow an interview up with a simple and sincere thank you card. Take this as an additional opportunity to provide the interviewer with your current contact information, while reiterating your upcoming and newsworthy events. In time, as you become more familiar with the interview process, you will find that you have mastered the art of first impressions, final words and the five w’s. There is still more to do, continue to build on your interviewing skills with advanced techniques. As you prepare for your first or next interview, always remember the hardest part is over. You have already written 300+ pages, found an agent, a publicist and survived the excruciating editing process. Interviewing well is essential, however, it is also one of the easiest and most enjoyable aspects of publishing a book. Just ask anyone sitting on your windowsill. About the Author: M.

Wandering Star, J.M.G. LeClezio, 2004, ISBN 1931896119 Written by the winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize for Literature, this is the story of two young women who meet by chance in the turmoil of the Middle East. During World War II, Esther is a Jewish girl living in a small town somewhere in southeastern France. The residents have an uneasy relationship with the Italian troops occupying the town, but they get along. When the Italians surrender and leave the town, the Jews know that the Germans will send them on a one-way trip to a concentration camp. So Esther, and her mother, Elizabeth, and the other Jews in town undertake a harrowing journey on foot through the mountains, to reach the coast, and passage to Jerusalem. Esther constantly worries that her father, who joined the resistance, will never be able to find them again. After many days journey, carrying whatever they can, they reach the coast, and board a boat heading for Israel. The ship is halted by the authorities, and sent back to France, where the Jews are held for a time, before actually reaching Jerusalem. There, Esther meets a young Palestinian girl named Nejma, a refugee because of the fighting. In the early days of their time in the camp, the Palestinians treat it like some sort of temporary setback; after a few days, weeks at the most, they’ll be able to return home. The women gather at the local well and gossip like they are already back home. As reality sets in, and they begin to realize that they aren’t leaving anytime soon (if ever), hope turns into despair and the feeling that they have been abandoned by the rest of the world. The only thing the Palestinians have to look forward to is the occasional arrival of the UN aid truck. Life becomes a daily struggle for survival. At the end, Nejma leaves the camp with Saadi, a black man who loves her, and wants to take her back to his homeland. As one person’s wanderings end, those of another person are just getting underway. Told in first person by both young women, this is a quiet novel, but it’s also a beautifully written novel. So this is what Nobel-caliber fiction is like. I will make sure to look for more of it.

The Statement by Brian Moore is a little more than a pursuit thriller. I stress a little more because it genuinely transcends the “who’s going to do it” genre, though overall it misses an opportunity to address some important and potentially fascinating ideas. Pierre Brossard is the original, but not the only name of a politically right-wing Frenchman who worked with a wartime fascist militia in Vichy France. As part of his duties he was responsible for assisting the transport of Jews to Nazi concentration camps and at least once he organised killings, in particular a massacre of fourteen individuals. He was later tried and convicted, though years later a Presidential pardon meant that he was no longer a wanted man. Still one the run, however, he was convicted of a crime against humanity via a judgment and indeed a jurisdiction that not everyone in France either respected or recognised. Pierre Brossard’s rediscovery of his Roman Catholic faith provided him with something more than solace. Through confession he could secure effective pardon, both within his own and also his sympathisers’ minds, where forgiveness was not needed. But also he secured effective support within the minds of sincere devotees of the faith, who often declared themselves more interested in a believer’s soul than any debt to history or even the human race. So, on the run for years, Brossard found haven in a series of religious houses where, in effect, he could come and go incognito, almost as he wished. Meanwhile cheques supplying his financial needs arrived regularly from both known and unknown donors, some connected to societies within the Church, societies that also sympathise with a more traditional form of the faith than that emanating from Rome. Brossard is pursued by the law, a faction of which wants to bring him to justice, whilst another wants to protect him. He is also hunted by an untraceable Jewish group that hires contract killers to do away with him. Paradoxically, the faction of the police that wants to bring him to justice also wants to arrest him to protect him from the assassins. And all this in just over two hundred pages. And that, perhaps, is the problem. Though the book is well written, well set and constructed, the characters, including Brossard, never attain much more than cameo status. Several of the protagonists express strong opinions about race, culture and faith, but we are never presented with a probing analysis of their motives or identities. The role of the Church in supporting, or at least turning a blind eye towards fascism is mentioned, but not worked through. The schism represented by the Lefevre faction in 1980s France is mentioned, but its ideological foundation is glossed over. The existence of Masonic-type societies within the Church is mentioned, but quite who they are, what they want to achieve and how they operate is largely ignored. Even Brossard’s own identity is effectively taken for granted, once we have been introduced to his racism, his anti-Semitism and his ruthlessness. The Statement of the title refers to a typed sheet carried by Brossard’s would-be assassins. It is their intention to pin it to their victim’s corpse, thus claiming closure of the case of the wartime massacre of Jews in the village of Dombey. The plot, as ever in a “who does what”, eventually works its way out. I will, of course, not reveal the detail, because with The Statement that would remove the prime reason for reading the book. If some of the other themes the book touches upon had been worked through

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. George Orwell’s dystopian classic novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, has been voted as the book that best defines the 20th century. It is a fitting choice and, unfortunately, equally fitting for defining the 21st century to date. Doublethink is an essential concept in Nineteen Eighty-Four. It is a critical part of Newspeak, the official language of the imperial state Oceania. Designed to diminish the range of thought, Newspeak renders independent thinking and dissent next to impossible. Euphemism, circumlocution, and, above all, Doublethink, characterize Newspeak. Doublethink is the complete inversion of customary meanings. “War is Peace”, “Freedom is Slavery”, “Ignorance is Strength”, are the best known examples from novel. To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies

Managing Subscriber addresses: At the top of your email message you see the header, where you insert addresses and a subject heading. It all looks simple enough, but there are some tricks and tips you should know, and one very important warning. Let’s start with that warning: In addressing your newsletter, do not put subscriber names or email addresses in the TO or the CC (Carbon Copy) field. Addresses in either of these fields are visible to all recipients. And, if you have one unscrupulous person on your list, that person could start sending spam to the rest of the list. Always put subscriber addresses in the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) field, where no one but you will see their addresses. This is very important in retaining their confidence. In fact, this might now be the single most important point to remember if you send an email message to any group. So, to whom should the newsletter be addressed? Probably yourself. You can use your regular address, or set up a special address for the newsletter only. One other thought: use the CC field as a place to put the name of someone who wants to make their address known. For example, if you include a special offer by a third party in the newsletter, you can CC that third party, and as a result provide a backup email address. Subject line: Make this line as strong as possible. It’s the hook that encourages the reader to scroll down the page to your article(s). Try looking through the subject lines of the newsletters you now receive, and see what works for you. The simplest approach, and an effective one, is to put the name of your newsletter in the subject line. That works well if readers find the content consistently helpful or interesting. But don’t depend on just the name - here are some ideas for other hooks that may increase readership. Make it descriptive, since many email users quickly scan the subject lines and quickly hit the Delete button if it doesn’t immediately grab their attention. If that descriptive text hints at a solution to a problem shared by your readers, then you’ve got a winner. Here’s another subject line tip that may help you increase readership. Several email gurus recommend putting the date of the issue in the subject line, and I’ve tried that myself. In the limited testing I’ve done, it seemed to increase the number of clicks on the embedded ads. This is how a recent subject line for Abbott’s Communication Letter looked to my subscribers: “April 27-05 Communication Letter - Communication & Company Size” Explanations: April 27th is, of course, the date. Communication Letter is an abbreviation of the name of my newsletter; and Communication & Company Size is the title of the article that week. Altogether, the whole subject line seems a bit long, but it does cover several bases, so it’s what I’ll use until I’ve had time to do extensive testing. In summary: Don’t look at the header of your email message as something to be finished and forgotten quickly. It can make or break your newsletter. Robert F.

High-quality one-way links that are relevant to one’s website are crucial and all SEO savvy webmasters are aware of it. An increase both in Google Page Rank and traffic to the target site result from these one-way links. One-way linking is an extremely effective method for writing relevant articles and submitting the articles to directories. Other web managers select the individuals’ useful and informative pieces for using at their own sites. This facilitates to provide you with many inbound links, as well as increased traffic flow. These one-way links that you receive will apply to other relevant sites because webmasters use only articles that relate well to the subjects featured on their sites. Some simple concepts need to be followed if a person wants to be successful in internet marketing. High Quality Writing: Webmasters are constantly hunting for well written content that their visitors will consider to be interesting or informative. Individuals who attempt article marketing solely for the purpose of pitching a sale will find that these articles just don’t get syndicated. You should, instead, attempt to write useful articles that other people enjoy reading. Writers who desire to keep their readers interested until the end of the piece will find that the resource block of the article is significantly more likely to be read, and the readers may visit your site as well. Remember that you are attempting to increase the value of any website that prints your article, and promoting your site in this manner will be very effective. Author Resource Block: This is typically placed at the very end of the article submitted. While the majority of article directories permit as many as three links at this location, you have to verify this with each article directory and read their article submission requirements to ensure this. Be sure to use as many links as are allowed, and don’t forget to link to both internal and home pages. In the event that three links are permitted, consider linking first to the home page of your site, then to an internal page at the same site, and finally to a fully written out URL. Webmasters occasionally just copy and paste a desired article onto their website and completely omit hyperlinks. If one of your links is the site URL, you will eliminate the potential disadvantage this can cause you. If you choose to submit the article to more than one directory, provide some variations in both the anchors and the hyperlinks in your resource information. Getting Inspired and Researching a Good Article: Now that the basics of writing materials for web promotion have been identified, you can proceed with actually writing them. It’s best to start by reviewing the core focus of the web site involved. The site’s central focus should be obvious and should dictate the topic for your articles. After all, your target market should be inspired to visit the web site based on its content. The end result should be that viewers will come enjoy their browsing time at your site and come back to see new content as it is released. Researching the Article Before you sit down to draft the actual article, do some research first. Gather facts and figures gleaned from Internet websites (just make sure you don’t directly copy pieces of copyrighted text). You can also obtain access to articles with researched content, labeled “Private Label Rights” (PLR). However, don’t just cut and paste from these sites; make sure to write the facts into your own unique article. A way to get a large number of information sources is to do keyword searches with your favorite search engine. Always show respect to the source of your information and never plagiarize when doing article marketing. Daiv Russell is a web marketing copywriter with Envision Software.

So you’re responsible for managing a documentation project. You know who your audience is, what they’re trying to achieve, how the product enables them to achieve it, and what the audience requires of the help. Now it’s time to spec out your intentions. NOTE: This is the second in a series of three articles outlining the key elements of a good user documentation process. (To read the first and third articles in this series, go to .divinewrite.com/docoprocess1.htm and .divinewrite.com/docoprocess3.htm.) State your goals Generically speaking, your goal statement should indicate that you hope to create a suite of documentation products that will satisfy audience requirements. Specifically, you’ll have a number of sub-goals. (TIP: It may help to remember that the goals you set here will need to be used to measure the success of your product through your own in-house testing as well as through evaluative user research.) Such sub-goals may include: Ease of use Accessibility Helpfulness Accuracy Relevance Comprehensiveness Adherence to style guidelines Correct spelling and punctuation Write your Concept Specifications Your goals set, you can start to contemplate what you’re going to produce. The first step is to create some concept specifications. Simply put, concepts specs are very high level overviews of what you’re proposing to produce. For example, your concept spec for the online help might state that you will be producing a product that allows the user to access information using a TOC, an Index, and a Find. It might suggest some possible GUI features of these elements, but it will not lay down requirements; just possibilities. The concept spec for your manuals might state that they will be professional looking, will contain many professionally drawn pictures, will have adequate white space, will be stylish, will be divided into chapters to match the task oriented nature of the online help, etc. Generally, the product you’re proposing could be implemented in a number of different ways. You should write one or more concept spec(s) for: what components the documentation suite will consist of (online help, printed manuals, tutorials, overviews, etc.)

To make money, you need to rely on internet sales. The only problem is that to have internet sales, your product needs to be seen and known about. Unfortunately, there are many e-book authors who believe that this is too hard of a task. While it may be difficult at times, there are a number of easy ways that you can go about having your e-book successfully promoted. Before examining how you can promote your e-book, it is first important to touch on the ever so popular question, “why?” When selling a product, including an e-book, this is a question that shouldn’t even be asked, but it still is. Promotion is important when it comes to selling an e-book or even any other product for that matter. If you do not advertise or promote your product, consumers will not even know that it exists. Something can’t be purchased if no one knows that it is available for sale. Promotion is also important because, if properly implemented, it gets people talking; it creates a “buzz.” One of the easiest ways that you can go about finding people to help you promote your e-book is by using the internet. After all, that is where your e-book will be sold. One of the approaches that you can take is by visiting online message boards or forums. There are a large number of internet users who are also looking for help, when it comes to selling a product or a service. You could do a link exchange. A link exchange is when two individuals agree to help each other promote their products. For obvious reasons though, you will want to make sure that you do not help to promote a product that could be considered your competition. Speaking of online message boards and forums, you can do your own promoting when searching for someone to help you. A large number of message boards and forums allow members to create a signature. Many posters use a signature to display their favorite quotes or song lyrics, but most use it to promote their business or products; you can also do the same. For instance, if you are selling an e-book on pet care, you can have a catchy signature line and a link to your e-book sales pages. This concept works great, especially if you are on a forum that is related to the topic of your e-book, like a pet lover’s forum. You may also be able to find other posters who are willing to promote your e-book in their signature lines too. In conjunction with using online message boards or forums to find people who are willing to promote your product, you can also use standard internet searches. You will want to search for websites that are, in one way or another, related to the content of your website. A large number of webmaster may do a link exchange, but others may want you to pay a small amount of money for an advertising slot. Even if you must pay for advertising, it will likely be worth it, especially if you find a popular, high traffic website. As an act of kindness, you may want to provide other internet users with incentives for helping you promote your e-book, especially if you are looking to have this help without paying for it. A popular incentive, as mentioned above, is a link exchange. In addition to a link exchange, you may even want to give your promotional assistants a free copy of your e-book. In fact, you may even be asked for a free copy. This is actually quite common as many individuals want to know exactly what they are helping to promote. Promoting your e-book is the best way to profit from it. With a little bit of research and hard work, you should be able to find a large number of individuals who would be willing to help you, many free of charge.

Proofreading and Copy Editing Technology has changed the standards for proofreading and copy editing, and even caused the roles to overlap in some situations. “Traditionally, proofreaders are responsible for finding errors during the typesetting or formatting of a final document,” notes Darryl Brunsvold, The AVS Group’s technical writer and copy editor. “On the other hand, copy editors work on draft information, correct inappropriate grammar, check word usage, and make sure the document follows the rules of English. The copy editor also checks the document for a consistent look and feel.” It is important to know that proofreading and copy editing are done at varying levels. Each requires different skills and experience. “A higher level of copy editing may be needed, for example, when the author is providing technical information to a non-technical audience,” says Brunsvold. Proofreading Originally, proofreading was the late-stage correcting of material that had already been professionally set in type. Proofreading literally means “the reading and checking of proofs” against the original. Today, the term is generally used to mean the final checking of any text-based information. There are two levels of proofreading: Basic proofreading. In basic proofreading, proofreaders check copy word-for-word against a marked-up draft and identify errors for correction. Basic proofreaders may also check for typographical errors, repetition of small words, and correct styles. Editorial proofreading. In editorial proofreading, proofreaders also check for errors in word usage (for instance, the use of to instead of too), hyphenation, and subject-verb agreement. If asked, editorial proofreaders can look for grammar problems (using which instead of that). They can also recommend changes in word choice or inappropriate punctuation. Editorial proofreading is usually done on material that has already been edited or reformatted. Copy editing Alternatively, copy editors review finished copy for spelling, grammar, consistency, and format. “In many ways, being a copy editor is like taking an English exam that never ends: one’s knowledge of spelling, grammar, punctuation, word usage, and syntax is continuously being tested,” notes Brunsvold. At all levels of copy editing, copy editors correct errors, point out conflicting statements to the author, and request advice when the means of resolving a problem is unclear. Throughout all this, copy editors fix whatever is incorrect, confusing, ambiguous, or inappropriate. Take for example the ambiguous phrase, “Replace the old component.” Depending on context, this could mean “Return the old component to its original place” or “Substitute a new component for the old one.” After a discussion with the author, the copy editor would rewrite the phrase to clarify the meaning. Levels of editing Three levels of copy editing are normally adequate for most jobs: light, medium (standard), and heavy. An additional level, globalization copy editing, is used for information that is likely to be translated. Light (baseline) copy editing. Light copy editing is very similar to editorial proofreading but does a more thorough check of grammar rules. Medium (standard) copy editing. Medium copy editing also checks for style consistency and relationships between text and graphics. Table-of-contents entries and organizational problems are also corrected. Heavy (substantive) copy editing. The main difference between medium and heavy copy editing is the level of judgment and rewriting involved. In a heavy copy edit, editors try to improve the flow of text by rewriting portions to enforce a uniform level, tone, and focus. They change passive voice to active voice and add missing articles (a, an, the). They also rearrange sentences to improve readability. This is particularly true with technical copy. For example, the phrase “hermetic two stage gear drive compressor,” is made more readable by adding a bit of punctuation, like this: “hermetic, two-stage, gear-drive compressor.” Globalization copy editing. The globalization copy editor is trained in international and cultural issues and familiar with the challenges that translators face. In addition to all the normal functions of copy editing, globalization copy editing focuses on eliminating ambiguity of any form. The purpose is to make the translation process easier, while working with authors to ensure that changes do not affect technical accuracy of the information. The globalization copy editor also advises customers about aspects of writing that are affected by international publishing of information. This includes characters such as “#” and “&” that do not exist in some languages or have multiple meanings. Another problem area is dates, where 2/5/02 in the United States generally means February 5, but in most European countries, it means May 2. Both proofreading and copy editing can be valuable to the documents you publish. With a copy editor’s ability to make your message clear and a proofreader’s eye for detail, your documents will be well respected and professional.

The world is full of religions, and none of them work….is life improving, with love for all, or getting worse? (The world, then, is full of what?) When one is serious about a relationship with the ‘Maker of All Things’, that person needs to know who he is talking to. With the fall of Adam & Eve (real history), the spiritual connection between GOD and the human race was broken. We are all born spiritually dead (except for the one supernatural birth in a manger); we are in need of a re-connection to the original life source. The problem is that it is pure and we are not…we are born “self-centered” and the ‘Maker of All Things’ is “others-centered” in the original essence. (”others-centered” defines LOVE as what you do for ALL others that is in their highest or best interest, anytime, anywhere, selflessly 24/7) The enemies of mankind are mostly responsible for all the religions, so that mankind will get impulsively lost in the pursuit of truth, if it even looks at all. ( One of the miseries mankind’s worst enemies inflict on us is addressed & vaccinated, {SUICIDE VACCINE}, on this forum, or: .bev.net/users/homepages/JamesSorrell ) When anyone is serious about learning the truth, willing to commit themselves to that truth in a relationship, submit to the highest authority, the ‘Maker of All Things’ (a benevolent King) will “open the door” and you can come in. We are all born into a physical Body, and contained within that is the Soul: heart, mind, thoughts, intelligence, imagination, human spirit, conscience, feelings, emotions, will, etc. But at our core (Spirit), we are self-centered….not the originally created “others-centeredness”…we are spiritually dead. The path to real spiritual life resides only in Romans 10:9 (The LORD God of Exodus 3:14 is the same God talking in John 8:24b…The GOOD NEWS BIBLE is about the only one that gets this all-important verse right! You must believe in how GOD (John 1:1) (objectiveness) chose to appear before mankind and believe in that; NOT how anyone else claims to define it, for misguided or deceptive reasons! It is so vital, because it is your life !! In regard to genuine believers [Romans 10:9], { besides the crippling effect of anything to do with water baptism-1Corin. 1:17 }, one of the biggest problems for Christians today is not being able to recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit coming thru their fellow believers! Most real Christians are still “baby” Christians, infants who are incapable of doing their real work because of a lack of spiritual growth and maturity & bad doctrine—like any infant they can only think of what they want, and don’t have the maturity & wisdom to “fight the good fight”, or anything else scripturally needed. As a result, “teamwork” almost does not exist; and teamwork is a prime requirement for a fully functioning Body of Christ on this planet. This is a “call” for my brothers and sisters in Christ to grow up, and do some real grunt work & sacrificial love, instead of just enjoying their materialistic life in DisneylandUSA. ….it is so bad that not even one of them has invited me into their homes yet; Christ will point out to them some day that He and the Apostle Paul wouldn’t have been invited in either! excoboard.com/exco/index.php?boardid=1979 or churchcaptain.proboards24.com 608 661-0966 sorrell.jamesgmail.com
