A Writer On Writing: How To Make £10 In 10 Minutes
Writer Sally Jenkins joins the Kindle clan.
I was one of the many who received a Kindle for Christmas and one of the first books I downloaded was Linda Lewis’ http://www.akacatherinehoward.blogspot.com/ new book How To Make £10 in Ten Minutes. Linda is a prolific Womag writer, competition judge, columnist etc. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Make-Minutes-Professional-Writers-ebook/dp/B006TZW36O/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1327421070&sr=1-1-fkmr1
Her book is short and to the point. It gives useful advice on how to find the material that the weekly women’s magazines (and to a lesser extent other publications) thrive on. For instance, lots of magazines pay for Tips that either save money or make life easier – but how do you find tips to submit? Linda explains.
I was tempted by the book because you can download the first chapter for free, which I did. After reading it, I decided it was worth paying 89p to read the rest. Now all I need is one successful submission following Linda’s advice and I’ll be quids in!
By the way, did anyone else see the bit in the news that said around 20% of those who received a Kindle for Christmas haven’t used it? In contrast, only 9% of iPads have remained unused – probably because you don’t buy someone an iPad ‘on spec’. If I was spending all that money I’d want to be sure that it was something the recipient actually wanted!
Can you guess what the most unused present was? Smellies and toiletries.
