4 Ways to Jumpstart 2015 Media
 
When you think about ways to jumpstart your media presence this year, try one of these four simple activities to gain exposure:
Assess social media options:

• Are you utilizing Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest? Are there social media platforms that your business competitors are mastering and you are not? Assess the available social media platforms that allow for engagement with your potential media sources. Develop a social media schedule in order to keep a consistent flow of communications with those media sources.
 
Create press releases
• Press releases are one of the best ways to introduce media to new and exciting changes in your business. Whether it is television, radio, print or bloggers, all media outlets utilize press releases for relevant information to share with their audience. Creating a written overview and submitting it to local news outlets is a great way to get media coverage.
 
Create a newsworthy event or activity
• Create an event that media wants to cover like one that supports a charity or showcases the community. Research which bloggers write consistently about the type of charity you support or feature events in their posts. Watch your local newscast or read the newspaper and see what types of human interest stories they cover. This will give you a good idea of the kinds of events or activities that you can organize that would be newsworthy. Above all, be genuine. Promote and participate in events that you feel strongly about and not just for public relations purposes.
 
Submit an opinion/ editorial pieces
• Submitting editorial letters commonly called "op-ed" pieces to a newspaper can provide a highly engaged audience for your company message. The nature of these types of written opinion columns allows for the writer to identify with an issue and write under their name. If there is a relevant issue that affects your industry or that you have a passion about, submitting an op-ed piece could be a great way to generate media exposure. Be aware if the topic is controversial, the company could also be associated with the topic and this may or may not be a positive association. Use caution when deciding to submit an op-ed.

Use these media ideas throughout the year as well. Courting the media is an ongoing activity that can pay off down the road with TV, radio or print interviews.

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, some is better left to t

Ampersands: Pretty Is as Pretty Does

   By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of the multi award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers   Have you noticed how ampersands turn to gibberish when they are entered into some blog services like Google's blogpsot.com? That is only the beginning of problems ampersands cause for editors, and publishers of all kinds. Many of the difficulties they cause go unnoticed except by the publishing pros we would all like to impress like agents, librarians, bookstore event directors, and the acquisition editors at Knopf!    That's why I added a new section to the second edition of the winningest book in my #HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers,  The Frugal Editor . Because ampersands seem to be so popular these days, it's especially important for editors and authors who publish books to know a little about their history, how to use them, and how gatekeepers and readers of Lynn Truss's famous zero-tolerance a

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris
