Mojo Writing

Written by David on February 20th, 2009

Moriah Jovan has published her final entry in our cross-blog series of how writers can get paid for their work.  She’s resolved to hunker down and focus on what’s most important:  writing.

Money quote:

I hang out and comment on a lot of industry blogs: writer, publisher, agent, etc. My name-link in the comments section is an opportunity for someone to click and find me, even though I’m simply participating and not actively selling. But I’m selling. I HATE that.  Every single day, something knocks on the door of my brain and says, “Why are you marketing to writers and industry people? Writers have their own projects and if publishers and agents wanted you, they’d'a said so when you were querying.” Every single day, I have the same epiphany:

Go where the readers are.

Well, where the hell are they?

Readers, go to her!
