EDITOR'S THOUGHTS

REPURPOSING YOUR CONTENT

I'm talking fiction, nonfiction, copy, blog material....all of it. When it comes to fiction, it's called the backlist. When it comes to commercial copywriting, it's called repetition or repurposing. Whatever you write, because you released it once does not mean that others saw it or shouldn't be used again. 

ClearVoice.com is a savvy site about writing copy for a living. That includes ads, social media, blogging, branding, whatever. They also hire out writers and editors, and they talk intently about how to be successful in niches. 

"It makes sense to republish and reuse existing content because there is a high likelihood your audience never saw it in the first place." 

When it comes to copywriting, you refresh the work, often putting it on the same blog, in the same magazine, on the same Instagram page, maybe on a Facebook group instead of a page. . . in a new voice or new light. The point is to deliver the message.

Just because I've posted before on FundsforWriters about writing for anthologies doesn't mean I cannot post about it again. I can repeat an article that came out two years ago. I can come at submissions from a different angle. And frankly, as I'm learning via a freelance assignment I'm working on, times change, the industry changes, and sometimes these pieces need an upgrade. 

When it comes to fiction or creative works, we're talking backlist. One of my books is almost ten years old now; however, it is the gateway to the series. Just because I released the fifth book in the series months ago, doesn't mean I cannot start a campaign advertising the old book. There are a lot of readers who have never seen that book. . . or heard of the series. 

Keep putting your best work in front of people. Recycling and repurposing your writing is strong business sense. Just because you put it out there the first time does not mean it was seen. After all, how often have you discovered a new author, new series, or new product through copy or advertising, that has been in circulation for years?

HOPE'S APPEARANCES

 SUCCESS QUOTE

SUccess Story

NOTE: A note from an advertiser...where one job opening turned into three, all from FFW readers.

Hope,

I just scheduled a newsletter for the foundation that links to story written by the writer I found through your newsletter. It will also post to our Facebook page, The Justin Pepper Foundation. I am so excited. We haven’t sent a newsletter in several years.  

The writer was great to work with.  She lives on the West coast (we're in SC), but I spoke with her for almost two hours and then she went to work. She did phone interviews for all five of our scholarship winners and requested photos. All the stories were sent to me in record time and are great.  

We spoke with another writer today on a zoom call. She will be writing an article for us to promote the Justin Pepper 5K which will run in Chapin Neighbors magazine.  We may also use her to write some additional promotion type things depending on how this goes.

Then I got an email today from another writer. He gave a suggestion for some wording on our website, which I liked. I made the change already. I think he would be good to update the verbiage on our websites.  Will know more once I speak with him. He has a humorous touch that I like. The second writer is more about the facts.  And the first is very good at interviewing and investigative journalism. 

I can’t thank you enough for helping me get this going.

Ten Unusual Places for Freelance Ideas 

By Dan Brotzel

Anyone who pitches articles or writes stories is always on the lookout for more sources of ideas. There are lots of well-trodden sources, but here are a few I use that might be less obvious.

Foreign titles.

Publications from other countries, readily available online, can be a rich source of ideas. Based in England, I get lots of ideas from titles in the US, Australia, Canada, Scotland, and more. But I also look at European titles. I once found a French health magazine with an article called ‘Why are you always late?’ I sold a piece looking at the psychology of lateness to a British title. 
 
Ideas from ideas.

One idea can often be cut different ways. I realised lateness was an interesting topic, for example, and was later able to sell a different piece on the changing etiquette of timekeeping in the digital world to a woman’s magazine.  
 
Answer the Public.

The many tools for generating search keywords are great for content ideas. I like Answer the Public, which scans autocomplete data from search engines ‘then quickly cranks out everyuseful phrase and question people are asking around your keyword.’ You get limited free daily searches, so choose wisely. 
 
Eavesdropping.

Listening in to conversations on the bus or in the supermarket can often yield interesting ideas. Much of the dialogue in my short stories is based on things I’ve heard people say.
 
Children.

My kids are always saying things that give me ideas for articles or stories. Once I asked my eight-year-old son what I should write about. ‘A superhero that can’t fly,’ he said, and I ended up writing a story about just that, called ‘Nothing So Blue’, collected in my book of shorts titled Hotel du Jack. 
 
Odd jobs.

It’s amazing to me the things people do for a living. Once I read an article on pollution which quoted a man from a supermarket who was described as a ‘shopping cart technologist’. Interesting article, but what I really wanted to know was: what does a shopping cart technologist do all day? So I tracked him down, and interviewed him. 
 
Back issues.

Ideas come round and readers have short memories. Consulting old issues of newsletter or magazine, or using Wayback Machine, the internet’s own archive, is a great way to dig up old ideas that you can give a fresh spin and pitch anew. 
 
Bath or shower.

People often get their best ideas in the bath or shower, a time when we switch off worries and creative thoughts can come bubbling through. So have something waterproof like this to jot them down.  
 
Awareness Days.

Did you know that March 1 is National Peanut Lover’s Day? Or that March 20 is National Ravioli Day? And April 4 is National Pillow Fight Day? As sites like this one show, there’s an awareness day for pretty much anything. Ideas for articles galore! 
 
Always wanted to know…

What happens to the left luggage that doesn’t get reclaimed? If my government is in debt, who does it actually owe the money to? Can cheese really give you nightmares? If there’s a question you’ve always wanted an answer to, chances are that others will want to know too. Good sources: Quora queries, Reddit threads, Google predictive searches (play around with phrases like ‘Is it true that…’?) -- and your own conversations.

As always, keep your radar on and be receptive to an idea when it arrives. Wherever it strikes, make a note, even if you’re not quite sure what to with it yet. Just writing this piece has given me an idea for a whole book!

https://arthouselit.com/
Latoya is looking for projects in both the fiction and nonfiction categories. For fiction, she absolutely loves a good women’s fiction story, chock full of relatable characters, plot twists, and of course, a compelling voice. She is also open to LGBTQ stories, fast-paced thrillers, suspense, and horror. Romance is her first love, so she’s always on the hunt for a good story, driven by love, but with strong emotional conflicts.

For fiction, Felice focuses on contemporary literary, upmarket, commercial fiction and select fantasy novels. Fiction that explores the subtleties and complexities of language, while still being firmly rooted in modern or futuristic living - whether character or plot-driven. She is looking for select non-fiction with a unique viewpoint by authors with a well-developed media platform, particularly in the areas of foodie culture/cookbooks, incisive commentary on marginalized cultures and pop culture essay collections. 

Shauna is often drawn to stories that are a little strange, and especially ones that use speculative or fantastic elements in beautiful, original ways. Across the board, she’s looking for an inclusive cast of characters, across gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, and mental health spectrums. Of course, if any manuscript that is submitted to Shauna makes her see the world through a new perspective (i.e. Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi) then this is an extra plus plus! Shauna is mostly looking for YA and New Adult fantasy with major character development.

Danielle is fascinated by science fiction/fantasy that breaks the mold and pushes the speculative genre past what is to what could be. She is looking for dark thrillers, brainy mysteries, and select literary/upmarket fiction. She’s interested in both genre and highbrow fiction that can provide complex, fully realized characters and an addictive narrative, especially ones with leads from underrepresented communities.
