Nathan Bransford - The Forums

Usually save it for later. But take notes on it, to get it out of my system so I can focus on what I'm doing.

http://mattlarkin.net/ Well that was some work. Back to the writing... ...Ok, a little bit about the site and why I dropped the blog. I wanted a static website because blogging kind of lost its luster. It was a fun experiment. I don't regret it, mainly because it taught me my time is better spent el...

Thanks, Nathan!

Nathan, I'm trying to start a career as a freelance editor. I've already graduated from the University of Denver Publishing Institute, but didn't want to move away from Florida. Do you have any advice on how to build an initial client base and develop a reputation?

I'm far away from actually publishing, but I love hearing about people's experiments and what is working for folks.

Thanks seprus!

The Forever Girl by Rebecca Hamilton (current)
King's Blood by Daniel Abraham (probably next)

After that I'm not sure what's next. I don't have as much of a concrete plan as you, Sommer. It is kinda cool to see things lined up like that, though.

I was going to say Writing Excuses, but Brenda got there first, like the shopper carrying off the last fresh baguette as you round the aisle end. HA! The fluffy fresh deliciousness of that last baguette shall be MINE, and I shall nom on it and laugh at the desolate look on your face when you realiz...

I missed this when it was first posted. That's awesome.

Glad to help

My wife finally has her visa and we're back home in Florida. Yay!
