Write Well & Sell: Greeting Cards by Sandra Louden is a "reference manual" for anyone interested in getting started in this business. The book is extremely thorough, covering every topic from knowing your market, to setting up your office, to writing and submitting your ideas. Sandra writes in a conversational style that makes you feel as though she is speaking only to you (yet she has started many readers on the road to greeting card writing success). I was surprised that she would want to share her "secret" for succeeding in the business, yet she takes great pride in fostering and then nurturing her students... From my own experience, I know that she does indeed "walk the talk" as I have corresponded with her on many occasions. This is one book that does not collect dust on my bookshelf. I directly attribute my own success in selling verse to Sandra's ideas and advice!" Robin (McKees Rocks, PA) Hello, Sandra. I thought I would drop you a note to let you know that I think I've sold my first verse. It's a humorous birthday that has made to the pre-view process. They've asked for more humorous birthday. Thanks for all your guidance. Sherry (Maryville, MO) "This is not just a quick read that will give you a few tips. It's a workbook, with plenty of exercises to open up your thinking, show you how to recognize good greeting-card copy and find ideas to get you started.... [Sandra] also generously offers to answer any questions." Roxianne Moore (Suite101.com) "Thank you so much for your helpful, informative book. I have really enjoyed reading it and am excited about the possibility of writing a greeting card. I also found your "exercises" quite helpful. Lori (Lutherville, MD)
A Few Choice Words: Short, "Do-Able" Writing That Sells (1st Edition) ALL NEW 2nd edition--EXPANDED & REVISED!
"[A Few, Choice Words is] a great book and I've read it twice so far. Just to soak up the knowledge. I'm looking forward to buying the card package when you have it finished." Sharon (Moberly, MO) "I saw you briefly on the John Walsh TV show recently and wrote your name down immediately. I find your work to be quite exciting, unique and so needed." Peggy (Taftville, CT)
BOOKLETS:
BRAND NEW Fourth NFBB Series Booklet by: Sandra Miller-Louden Cover vs. Query Letters: Allies in the Challenge of Getting Published
For Those “First Impression” Letters That Pitch Your Project And Augment Your Chances To Get The Assignment
Have a terrific idea you just know would work in that high-profile magazine or newspaper? Well, just as with any idea, you have to pitch—or sell—that idea to an editor before she’ll publish it. And how do you do that? Well, whether via email or traditional snail mail, your query letter is your pitch—and your first impression. Know the art of writing a bang-up query letter that crackles with enthusiasm...and you’re half-way to your goal of snagging the assignment.
What about shorter writing that doesn’t require a query ahead of time? For this, you’ll still need some sort of introduction—and that’s where a cover letter comes in. This document literally “covers” your work and as with any well-dressed arrival, it should make an impression, i.e. a good impression!
As a veteran of many cover and query letters for a variety of projects spanning 20 years, Sandra Miller-Louden shares her knowledge in this vital field. You’ll discover the similarities and differences between the two. You’ll learn what to emphasize in each and what to exclude. Teaching by example, Sandra provides specific cover and query letters from her files—letters that were directly responsible for getting her the assignments she wanted.
Besides traditional letters, Sandra also delves into the emailed query and gives specific rules about what to do and what to avoid. As with all her manuals in the N.F.B.B. Learning Series, you’ll receive targeted assignments—all designed to get you motivated, have you writing and keep you writing.
If the thought of composing a cover letter—or creating a detailed query letter—has you break out in hives, you can put away the Calamine lotion. Instead, pick up a pen, read Sandra’s newest field guide, Cover Vs. Query Letters and take that important step toward creative fulfillment as you realize your writing goals.
