Coach Teresa here . . . My mother-daughter novel Love Made of Heart would not have hooked super agent Stacey Glick in 2000 if Martha Alderson had not taught me how to plot and understand the functions of front story and back story. Thank you, Plot Whisperer Martha!

I advise every writer to consult with Martha Alderson at least one time after you have written your first draft. Her books = survival kit for writers.

Cheers to The Plot Whisperer aka The Plot Guru aka The Martha Alderson!

Writer/Writing-Career Coach Teresa’s New Year Resolutions One Month At a Time

Coach Teresa’s New Year Resolutions One Month At a Time.

Time is a friend when I honor her with action. This is how I will celebrate her in January 2010 as a Writer/Writing-Career Coach.

January:

Meet with colleagues Lynn Scott, Elisa Southard, Yolande Barial, and Luisa Adams & Martha Alderson
Send “Happy New Year New Energy” wishes to my clients
Let friends and colleagues know that they can promote themselves on my 2 blogs, tell them about my new Email address, and ask them to help me spread the word about the new services I’m offering to writers.
Writers can afford to hire me when they form a study-group and split the costs. I can:

* coach you in name-building to attract the right agent or publisher

* guide you in designing and growing your blog (to showcase your expertise and experiences)

* show you computer-navigating shortcuts and how to easily “find stuff” on the World Wide Web

* edit your manuscript, 22 pages at a time so that you can gain tools with each installment

Make my guide, Build Your Name, Beat the Game: Be Happily Published, available for orders through http://WritingCoachTeresa.com and register for PayPal so that writers can use their credit cards.

Saturday, January 16, 2010, 10am to noon Deliver my interactive presentation “Build Your Name While You Write” at California Writers’ Club–SF Peninsula Branch, Belmont Library, 1110 Alameda De Las Pulgas, Belmont, CA Reservations are advised.
