- Dream Jobs to Go: How to Break into Romance Writing -
Romance writing is not for the faint of heart. It requires dedication and planning. Unlike some ideas of stereotypical romance writers, today's romance writer is aware of industry trends and thinks of what she (or he) does as being a business and not an art form. While it may be easy to get caught up in the idea of talk shows and book signing parties, years of preparation and working day after day on the computer can precede a best-selling book. There's money to be made in this field but it's not easy. It requires commitment, flexibility, persistence, and a willingness to rewrite what you may consider the perfect novel. While the market continues to grow for romance writing, especially with the tremendous growth in electronic books, the market has always been good for talented writers who know how to follow the rules and their hearts! How to Break Into Romance Writing will clue you in on those rules so you can get off to a positive start.

- Dream Jobs to Go: How to Break into the Freelance Writing Business -
Freelance writing has the allure of making money from home AND receiving recognition via a byline. In fact, getting paid for working in jammies or jeans without stressful commuting and with the possibility of fame has made freelancing arguably the most oft-tried job. And the most oft-discarded job. Because it takes more than writing talent to be successful. It takes discipline. It takes tenacity. And it takes a business perspective along with the creative vision. Fortunately, if you have those qualities - plus the ability to communicate on paper - your prospects as a freelance writer have never been higher. Not only do the numbers of print magazines and books continue to grow, but the Internet and the proliferation of new businesses have opened up literally thousands upon thousands of new markets for freelancers. The secret is to approach freelance writing as a business, and to get off to a good start by learning from the experiences of others.

- Dream Jobs to Go: How to Break into Writing for Book Packagers -
Think of a book packager as a "regular" publisher without a printing press, a marketing department, or a delivery truck. While you're at it, take away the fancy office and that secretary with the headset in the lobby. A book packager is a collective group of talented, hard-working, industrious folks who get impossible things done for clients. Those clients are traditional-often prestigious-publishers with printing presses, marketing departments, and all the rest. Book packagers (also called book producers) play an increasingly active role in the publishing world as budgets tighten at traditional publishing houses because corporate owners (who are more often business people rather than "book" people) are placing more emphasis on the bottom line. And as their role increases, book packagers need more and more writers and editors. As an article in Writer's Digest stated, "Working with book packagers is most attractive to writers who are looking for that first book credit. And writing for book packagers can lead to steady work." How to Break Into Writing for Book Packagers will tell you what it's like to work for packagers through conversations with real people who are doing so right now, will share information on where and how to locate packagers, offer "insider" tips on how to get hired and how to "puff up" your portfolio if you are new to the book business, and will provide a step-by-step plan to get you started today.

- Dream Jobs to Go: How to Break into Grants Writing -
Money can be raised in many ways, but grants are often the best source of sizable amounts of cash. Foundations and government entities are the primary sources of grant funding. None, however, award grants based on a simple request. Proposals have to be submitted for consideration. These written requests for money are the products of grants writers' efforts. A grants writer is one of the more important generators of revenue for a nonprofit organization. Operating money for numerous worthwhile projects come through his or her efforts. As one professional so aptly put it, the grants "are the vehicle that causes a vision to happen, and a grants writer is the architect of that vehicle." Although it is essentially a service, grants writing holds great intrinsic rewards. The grants writer is part of the solution to a social problem, and he or she may have a sizable role to play in the fulfillment of a community's aspirations. It is an ideal position for someone who is civic minded and has a strong social conscience. This book will show you exactly how to make a living at this noblest of writing pursuits.
- Dream Jobs to Go: How to Get Started Earning Money as a Poet -
If you leaf through poetry journals, you might get the impression you have to be a college professor to be in an "About the Poets" section. Or maybe you've noticed a daunting number of advertisements for MFA programs sponsored by colleges and universities. Such educational affiliations have much to offer, but if you're not oriented toward academia, don't worry about impressive degrees before having any degree of success. Poetry belongs to poets and those who love to read it, despite - or perhaps because of - technological advancements toward e-Books and ezines. This means your potential for earning income depends almost entirely on you - your interests, your flexibility, and your increasing skill. How to Get Started Earning Money as a Poet certainly intends to encourage you toward the level of professionalism you need to write, market, and publish your poems, but it aims for more. In these pages, you'll find ideas for earning income - not by any means, of course, but, directly, by poetry-writing and, indirectly, by being a poet with all sorts of incoming possibilities related to your poetry.
- Dream Jobs to Go: How to Break in as a Sportswriter -
Sportswriters live the dreams others only fantasize about. However, there's much more to it than covering a game, getting some quotes, and writing a story. That's only a small part of the business - a very small part. Sportswriters work in small towns like Webster City, Iowa, covering high school basketball games. Sportswriters work in the rain, snow, and sleet covering football in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And sportswriters work behind the scenes in towns big and small, taking phone calls from coaches, compiling statistics, taking photos, laying out and designing sports pages. Have you ever wondered what it's like to interview a professional athlete? What it's like being rejected for a quote? Where it's a good place to break into the business? How much you can expect to be paid? How to Break in as a Sportswriter covers that and much more. You will find real-life, been-there, done-that stories from sportswriters who live the sports fan's dream. But there is more to the trade than watching sporting events and writing about them. Do you know what it's really like to write a story with 25 minutes left 'til deadline? What it's really like to wait for coaches to return your phone calls? And then the nights, weekends, and odd hours - can you adjust to a lifestyle that finds you working while others play? It takes hard work, perseverance and a little bit of luck to get to the top. How to Break in as a Sportswriter shows you how to get to where you want to be. Matt Krumrie has been there and done that. Now he shares his experiences, and those of others. You, too, can become the sportswriter you've always dreamed and this book will help you on your way. Sports are fun; sports writing can also be fun. Here's how to do it.
