Melissa’s Cozy Teacup

I have recently added my name to an email list with a little over 11,000 other people interested in Helping a Reporter Out. Three times a day, I receive emails giving me information on reporters needing quotable sources for the stories they are writing, from a man in New York by the name of Peter Shankman. Peter is a highly entertaining, IMO, entrepreneur who has a blog, The home of Peter Shankman, and this, HARO-Help a Reporter Out.

You do not need to have written a book, I checked, in order to be considered and expert source. Feel like you may not qualify as an expert and quotable source? Think again. Whether you are an expert at making crafts, painting, motherhood, being single, cooking, cleaning, organizing, running a large corporation, or the owner of a start up, you have something to contribute to HARO. Why not check it out?

Hello! This lavender sunset 9×12 acrylic on canvas board is for sale on my Etsy site. A great way to perk up that bare wall or office.

This is one of those exercises where you write for the sake of writing. It does not need to be perfect.
