Win The Organized Writer E-Book!

posted by marybabysteps on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 7:12am

This is the perfect prize for writers, and it's the perfect time to offer it. I know many of you have the same New Year's Resolution as I do - to get organized so that we can be more productive writers. You'll definitely want to check out Julie Hood's OrganizedWriter.com. Julie is the epitome of organization, and she tailors her approach specifically for writers.

You'll find so many amazing tools and resources on her site. You'll surely want to add it to your favorites. You'll find articles for writers and a comprehensive list of resources. Julie has a great free e-book called The Sidetracked Writer's Planner with so many helpful tools including a submission tracker, query and clips indexes and so much more.

If you want more of what you'll find in her free e-book, you'll definitely want to get her 216 page e-book, The Organized Writer. It's only $14.95 and is a tremendous value and investment in yourself and your writing career. But Julie has donated a free copy just for Adventures in Freelancing readers!

I've read most of the book and have begun implementing some of Julie's organizational suggestions. If she can help me, she can help anyone! I'll be posting my review later in the week, so come back to learn more. Meanwhile, all you have to do for your chance to win this amazing book is go check out her site and come back here and tell me in the comments what you're most interested in learning from Julie's book or what you found to be most helpful on her site. A winner will be chosen at random Monday, January 26th at noon EST. Get your comments in!

For an extra entry, tweet about the contest or blog about it. Don't forget to come back and leave a comment telling me you've done so. Thanks for entering. Stay tuned for my review, and good luck.

Oh, do I need this book! Julie's line on her site, about "Too busy to get organized?" Yep, that's me! And honestly, I can't live this way anymore. It's making me crazy and I can never find anything! I was looking for the Post-it I jotted down my time for a client project, couldn't find it, so (under)estimated my time spent on the project for the invoice. This needs to stop!

Good luck, Ginny! I know exactly how you feel. I truly do. There are some wonderful tips in this e-book for getting organized and Julie breaks it down for us so we can fit it in our crazy, busy lives.

What a great giveaway. I haven't written since becoming a mom. Unless you count writing thank you cards, Christmas letters, chronicling birht stories and sporadic and random blogging.....

I am looking for encouragment on why I should write, suggested venues and ideas on how to fit it in.........

My fingers are crossed because managing myself (and not getting frustrated about it) is a huge weakness for me. Thanks for sharing this and introducing me to Julie's work.
