Writing Content for Money

The act of writing is enjoyable when what we write makes the reader laugh or describes a point so clearly and succinctly there is no doubt in meaning. There is great pleasure in transforming your voice, regardless of your audience size, shape or character, into concise writing that motivates, uplifts and informs so clearly there is no doubt of your intent.

Writing Content is a practical, easy-to-read essential reference guide for anyone seeking to improve their magazine and online content article writing skills. In 16-easy-to-follow chapters, readers learn techniques gathered during the author’s 40-year writing and editing career from how to convert ordinary topics into saleable article ideas to how to research, interview and write clear, concise and credible article content.

Writing Content breaks down the writing process into four simple steps. 1) Find the idea; 2) gather the information; 3) organize the material; 4) write the story.

From researching and interviewing techniques, to working with editors, to organizing articles into writing frameworks, the examples the author presents are his, drawn from actual published articles, including three that he breaks down for the aspiring writer to analyze. Beginning and experienced writers will gain insights into the magazine and online article writing industry unavailable anywhere else.

A successful career as a magazine writer, editor, and publisher gave me the credentials that solidly re-enforce the message of “Writing Content."

Throughout the book I use examples, anecdotes, and step by step instructions to guide the reader/writer through the process from gathering the information to writing the story. I explain chapter by chapter the importance of shaping the focal point, carrying out stimulating interviews, creating structure, documenting quotes accurately, building transitional bridges, ans establishing straight forward conclusions.
I am the author of five books and I live in Idaho with my wife, Carolyn Ririe Nielsen and our miniature poodle, Charles Vanderkoi.
