Catching Up on a Year of Writing Tips
In this newsletter, I cover one subject a month, often based on my own or a colleague's current quandary. Thank you for your suggestions and feedback throughout the year! A special thank you to the experts I consulted and whose words of wisdom I included.
If you missed an issue, or if a topic has greater relevance to you now than when first published, peruse the Ease in Writing archives or read a specific issue. Here's a rundown of what we covered in 2015:
Write-able Resolutions for the New Year
Usability (UX): Five Takeways for Content
Writing: When It Flows and When It Doesn't
Long-Form Content

What do you need to know about in 2016? Let me know! I will draw on my own knowledge and experience, or seek out an expert with tips to share. And again, thank you for being part of a wonderful, extended community of people who love words and how they join together. May words become tools of peace in the new year. |
Next Steps for Julia (and Me)
As I continue researching and writing about the life of Julia Wilbur and of Civil War Alexandria, I signed a contract with Potomac Books, an imprint of the University of Nebraska press. First draft due July 1, 2016!
I also have several presentations scheduled: On Feb. 6 at the Black History Museum in Alexandria and March 19 at the Surratt House in Clinton, MD.
