Editorial Book Review for Author Stephanie Wincik

Here's the "Back Cover Copy" that I was asked to write for:

The Journey - A Northern Lights Adventure by Stephanie Wincik

Filled with adventure, intrigue, and romance, this book has all the great stuff that captivating stories are made of.   

Through the mystical journey of five young men, you will be propelled into 1862 Virginia--where you will sip tea with President Lincoln, watch a young woman do the unthinkable, and even square off with a runaway rhino. All this (and more) while trying to find your way home to the 21st century.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in time travel, the Civil War, mystery, and suspense.  The imagery is vivid, the characters are engaging, and the story moves quickly to an ending of surprise with just a dash of destiny thrown in.

New Testimonial from Author Stephanie Wincik - Back Cover Copy

Besides your book's Cover, the Back Cover Copy is the most important part for marketing your book.  It's the reason that someone decides to buy it.

It is compelling enough?  Does it give enough information without giving the story away?  Does it peek interest?  Does the customer have that "gotta have it" mindset when he's holding your product or viewing it online?

I just received this lovely audio testimonial from Stephanie Wincik, who is the author of Northern Lights (photo left).   

I wrote the back cover copy for her newest book: The Journey - A Northern Lights Adventure which is due to be released in November, 2007.   The audio is only a minute long and after so many emails, it was nice to hear her voice.  Click on the arrow to listen.

Many blessings,

July 15th, 2007 - Testimonial from Fr. Joseph Sica

 I was thrilled to receive this email from my client  - Father Joseph Sica - dated July 14, 2007. regarding the completion of his Lenten Booklet for the 2008 which I edited.  He gave me permission to post his comments here.    See Below.

"Dear Linda,

Words cannot express the quality of editing you have done on my Lenten
project.  Your insight, creativity, and professionalism are so evident.  I
will continue to use you as my editor for all of my writing projects.  When
I found you, I struck gold!  You are priceless!

The introduction is wonderful ... nothing needs to be revised.  I love it
all.  Stay in touch and as soon as I get the next project underway (Late August), you'll be on board as my editor.

Many blessings and good health,

Fr. Joe"

Creating Website Content That Conveys True Essence and Spirit

Freelance writing is effortless when you're able to create for someone like Donya Prestwood.  I am honored to be chosen to write her website content.   She is a gifted psychic and intuitive healer.

After experiencing her unique talents for myself  and interviewing her, I came up with the perfect wording to convey her genuineness and true spirit.   

Many blessings and Namaste!

From Interview to Website Page

Do you have a difficult time promoting yourself in writing?  Many people do.  Some find it difficult to share their innermost thoughts and convey their message in the way that they want to be heard or perceived.  Getting your "essence" on paper is one of my specialties.

Such was the case with Bruce Eastman who owns Kimmy's Flowers in Nashville. TN.

We met for lunch, talked like crazy, I took notes and the rest is history. 

Bruce was delighted with the result.  Check out the webpage that I redesigned on his site.  If you need content re-written for your site, call me, let's chat, and see what develops.

Advent Book Sparks Reflection

This is the first book that I edited for Father Joseph Sica - Advent 2006.  Even after Advent, the reflections are inspiring and can be used for most any day in your life.

It was so refreshing to read such words of inspiration and wisdom and to be trusted to enhance those words with my edits.  Father Sica is a true gem of a writer and  is a joy to work with.

Through these prayerful, upbeat, and empowering reflections and prayers, Fr. Joe Sica invites readers to break the syndrome of "expecting the worst."

Three Tips For Magnetizing Your Copy

                        

This is a personal ad that I wrote years ago, that attracted my former husband.  The marriage lasted 7 years.  I must have said something right!  (Double click on the photo to enlarge).  The key is to make it short, concise and compelling.

I found this article about copywriting (by Michael Fortin) on Guru Knowledge.org.

A lot of great information here on tips for magnetizing your copy!

Reasons to Become An Author

I've included here (in the extended post), an article by Arielle Ford that helped me with my vision of "having written" my own best selling books.  I have three in the pipeline, and having a vision makes it happen that much faster.

I admire Arielle Ford, because (like her), books on self-help and Spirituality are my forte'.   If you have a book that inspires and encourages one to dream big, feel better, or reach higher, then I'm your writer.
