Travel Writing eBook, Join the Tour

Wyndham Sugar Bay Resort and Spa, St. Thomas, USVI,It’s time for another blog tour, and what more appropriate theme for a “tour” than “Travel”. Today I’d like to introduce you to an eBook for those who have dreamed of publishing articles for magazines, or writing books, about travel.

In my typically over-active imagination, I’ve always thought, wow, travel writers are as lucky as can be because they can eat at the best places, stay at the best hotels, and visit all those historic or fun destinations that most of us just dream of visiting.  Then after a long day of having all kinds of fun, they can sit back in their lounge chair on the beach or beside a pool, or in their luxurious hotel room, pull out their laptop and whip up an article about their experiences.  Then when they are finished, put everything away, and go out for an evening of more fun-fun-fun!

My bubble was burst, well maybe not entirely burst….let’s just say it was a “reality check”… to read and review “Travel Writing as a Freelancer”, a 64 page eBook for those who are interested in writing about travel as a profession.  It still sounds like it would be great fun, and very interesting, but like most things, it does require some expertise and work.

The Author, Wendy VanHatten, provides point-by-point information on the does and and don’ts of writing about travel.  Along with MANY helpful points in her book, you will be guided through the step-by-step process of writing your first article, how to find places that might publish it, how to communicate with publishers, and so very much more.  You will want to have the publication close at hand as you work through the steps necessary. It’s actually written in the form of a course on writing, with assignments.

Here are the chapter titles for the book to give you just a tiny taste:

  • What You Need
  • Course Overview
  • Class Outline and Assignments
  •  Topic #1 - Specializing & Specifics
  • Topic #2 - Bright Ideas
  • Topic #2 - Selling Your Article
  • Topic #4 - Building Blocks
  • Topic #5 - Story Structure & Headlines
  • Topic#6 - Writing Finesse
  • Topic #7 - Travel Photography
  • Topic #8 - Toning Up
  • Topic #9 - Ethics & Etiquette to Nuts & Bolts
  • Habits
  • FAQ
  • Back to the Beginning

Have those headings, and the idea of writing about travel and how to do it, got you curious?  Then please head over to Travels and Escapes for more information about this instructional eBook and how to purchase it…I believe you receive 3 free reports with the eBook.

To read other impressions and thoughts about this book, follow the tour…the next stop will be at “Blogging Roads” by Julie Roads either later today, or tomorrow, November 18th.

Benefit Your Employee AND Your Business (eBook Review)

Filed under: All eBooks, Available for Sale, Reviewed for Others — admin @ 6:40 am

This is an eBook for any business owner who wants to learn how to help their employees financially and do so without hurting their business. Sounds like a contradiction, doesn’t it?

Gina L. Gwozdz, CPA has put together a comprehensive eBook showing business owners how to offer medical expense reimbursements in lieu of or as part of an increase in salary, including non-prescription items. She shows in great detail how this will benefit both employee and business owner. This goes beyond just medical insurance! How to do this is carefully explained in Gina’s 61 page eBook, “Confidential Compensation”.

Gina has also written an eBook for the home owner. Have you ever wondered how those tax assessors that come and appraise your home and property come up with the value that they do? Do you know whether or not you have been assessed fairly, and if not, what to do about it? “Lower Your Property Taxes” is a short, easy to follow eBook that will help you.

To purchase these books, visit “Tax Treasures“, and to get to know Gina better and see what else she has to offer, visit Gina L. Gwozdz, CPA.

How to Start an eBay eBook Business (eBook Review)

Filed under: All eBooks, How to Sell, Reviewed for Others — admin @ 7:49 pm

I was contacted by a Sally Neill to review an eBook she has put together on “How to Start a Pofitable eBay eBook Business“.

The eBook is 54 pdf pages long, and provides easy to follow information. I sell vintage paper items on eBay myself so am familiar with how to sell, it’s fun, and can be profitable if you know what you’re doing….but when I was looking through Sally’s eBook to review it, I saw that there is still much that I can learn! She not only discusses selling on eBay, but other methods of selling and marketing your books, and provides a starter bundle of eBooks with resale rights for a reasonable price.

I’m quite impressed, and, no, the eBooks I offer on this blog were not purchased from Sally, but I may take a closer look!

The Writer Who Smiles - Press Release/eBook Review

I enjoyed reading this press release, and it has been nice to communicate by email with the author of “The Writer Who Smiles”, Jacob Malewitz. The book described is available from Booklocker.com. Please read, enjoy, and buy the book!
————–
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Jacob Malewitz
Freelance Writer/Editor
jfmalewitz@yahoo.com
jfmalewitz@gmail.com

Ever get sick of writers saying “Do this and you will get published.” One can see so much in the power of a book, the words it says, the reflections it offers. With “The Writer Who Smiles” author and freelance writer Jacob Malewitz takes a different approach to writing. Not, “Do this,” but “Think about this.”

A spiritual guide to creativity in the likeness of Julia Cameron’s bestselling “Artist’s Way,” “The Writer Who Smiles” doesn’t say you have to be spiritual or talented, just the simple fact you need to try to write something down every day.

In 66 personal essays, Malewitz highlights his struggles with mental illness, and his experience in being a journalist, and an online writer, into a work that has all the sounds of hope, all the reasons to smile when you are done writing. For those who are depressed or suffer from mental illness, it also offers a path to joy.

For beginning writers, hidden in each essay is how to develop a new way of thinking. For advanced writers, this book offers something different—the fact you can make it in the field, you can dream, and you can be even more successful.

For excerpts from the eBook and more information, go to the main page for “The Writer Who Smiles,” found at http://www.booklocker.com/books/3288.html

About the author:

Jacob Malewitz is the author of 500 articles published in print and online. He has been published in three newspapers where he worked as both staff writer and editor, on the websites Write-From-Home.com and Absolute Write, as well as many other markets.

This press release can be republished and edited anywhere, as long as the links and bio stay.

Stop Your Depression Now (eBook Review)

Filed under: All eBooks, Available for Sale, Personal Collection — admin @ 7:53 pm

During and after the Holidays, many experience depression. For some it is a physiological thing, all that adrenaline that has gone into getting ready for the holidays is now gone, and your body is making an adjustment. For others, it can involve family conflicts, and still others, it can be memories of lost loved ones exaggerated by the holiday season.

Depression for some can be a daily struggle. The eBook I am offering has 74 pages of helpful information for those who are suffering from depression. You will find chapters such as:

  • What are the Symptoms of Depression?
  • Types of Depression
  • Causes of Depression
  • Alcohol, Drugs and Depression
  • Chronic Pain and Depression
  • Talk Therapy and Depression
  • Suicide When Depression is Too Much
  • Life Changes and Depression

500+ Letters ~ Are You at a Loss for Words? (eBook Review)

Filed under: All eBooks, Available for Sale, Personal Collection — admin @ 5:20 am

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Though I received this as an e-book, it is actually a collection of well over 500 letters for every occasion that you can think of. It has a search feature, so that you simply put in a key word for the type of letter you would like to type, and it provides a list of the appropriate letters. You then click on the particular letter you are looking for in the list. The letter appears in a window, and can be “copied” and “pasted” into whatever program you use for your letters. Then you can simply personalize it.

Many of the letters are business letters, related to every type of business, business transaction, or business event that you can think of. I noticed many letters in the list that gave me ideas, things that I would never have thought to take the time to write about.

So the next time you find yourself at a loss for words, or wondering how to write a particular letter, this “e-book” may be helpful to you.

PRACTICAL LESSONS IN YOGA (eBook Review)

Filed under: All eBooks, Available for Sale, Personal Collection — admin @ 7:58 pm

This is a 118 page PDF format eBook written by Sri Swami Sivananda, very professionally done, and just full of all kinds of information related to Yoga. It is written from a spiritual perspective. I am a Christian, and practice the the truths taught in the Bible, so this book is not in line with some of the basic principles that I believe. However, I don’t know enough about yoga to carry on an intelligent conversation about it, so found it interesting. Some of the chapters include:

  • The Universal Prayer
  • Yoga and It’s Objects
  • Yoga Sadhana
  • Yogic Discipline
  • Yogic Diet
  • Obstacles in Yoga
  • Yoga-Asanas
  • Pranyama
  • Concentration
  • Meditation
  • Samadhi
  • The Serpentine Powers
  • Spiritual Vibrations and Aura
  • Daily Routine for Aspirants
  • Yoga and Science

I have read some of this, an educational experience for me, but will continue to enjoy my freedom in Jesus Christ and the presence of his Holy Spirit within me. What more can one need? It’s a free gift, while Yoga seems like a lot of work. What do you think? Dialogue in the form of comments welcome.

The ebook is available for sale by me for $1.25, and has full re-sale rights. Click “Personal Collection” for posts on all eBooks I have available for sale. All have full re-sale rights.
