Author Shari Stauch of Shark Marketing Co. and author MaryAnn Reid are collaborating on a writer’s workshop in Charleston at the Center for Women (129 Cannon St.) that’s all about building a custom audience of readers for your words.

“Become An Outrageously Successful Author: How to Build Your Audience of Readers, Even Before You’re Published!” is a two hour workshop that will focus on: more…

‘Tis the season of birth and rebirth, whether you’re a bunny, a chick, a flowering bud on the dogwood tree, an apple blossom or a business. So while you’re working through your own spring cleaning, ask yourself, “What about me or my book or my business needs reborn?”

Take advantage of the longer daylight hours to shed more light on your writing: Does your manuscript need cleaning up? Could your website use sprucing up? Should your schedule be revved up? Does a project need geared up? Does your audience need ramped up?

There’s no better time to dig in– after all, it’s easy to think fresh and new when fresh and new is bursting all around us!

Fueled by all Ma Nature’s inspiration, we’re knee-deep in our own rebirth here too, funneling all the knowledge of a myriad of past projects, successful launches and clever campaigns into the niche we know and love best: literary artists – writers, authors, aspiring authors – and words that need to be seen.

And while there’s some tedious chores in the process (pruning old content, planting new social media seedlings, endless directory listings while developing a new look and focus), overall it’s been tremendously liberating. We were thrilled to toss some of those old techniques and archaic tools gathering dust on the shelf. We even had the courage to pull a few weeds and say, “no thanks” to the projects that no longer added anything to our new landscape design.

Our reward for the diligence: A fresh new look and feel with a much better view… just like the season… Happy Easter and Happy Spring! A7PYYPXY2C8Z

Must time for spring cleaning… I know this because the weather is glorious, the azaleas are blooming (well, nearly), and everyone with allergies is beginning to sneeze and wheeze…

Unfortunately, along with spring and Peeps (guilty pleasure) and chicks and bunnies comes an age-old chicken and egg dilemma: What comes first? Dust then vacuum? Outside then inside? Organize the desk or clean out the closet? Or in my case today – redo the website or revamp the blog?

Well, at the risk of you visiting the site in its current disorganized state (I’ll claim I wasn’t expecting guests) I’m opting for the blog fix first… The old blog’s been trashed (um, perhaps some of it on accident I’ll confess), and so the look remains the same, but the content will be all new! If you’re a writer, you’ll want to stop by for a visit…

Stay tuned and I’ll be back in a flash, just as soon as I make the rest of these site fixes! ‘Til then, write on!
