[...] 5. About Michelle V. Rafter - I have to admit, this is a bit of a shocker. My little old About page, which has been on the site since day one, is one of its most popular destinations. What that tells me is people are using the site to find out more about me: are they editors in need of a writer, sources, bloggers wanting to know more about the organizer of the blogathon, or fellow Portland writers? Who knows. What I do know is that I better make sure it’s up to date. [...]

Hi Michelle and thanks for inviting topic suggestions. This may fall outside the scope of WordCount, but perhaps some advice/tips for those of us who write on contract for corporate clients as well as for print and online media. Some possibilities: pitching your services to prospective clients; managing the client relationship; new business development through networking (face-to-face and social media). Just some thoughts.
Thanks very much.

Valerie,

Thanks so much for such nice feedback. Please let me know if there are topics you’d like to me cover on WordCount. And if you blog, be sure to join us for the 4th annual WordCount Blogathon, where writers and bloggers commit to blogging every day in May. Details coming soon.

Michelle

I’ve subscribed to a lot of blogs and feeds over the past few years, but find Word Count one of the most focused and engaging. I admire your ability to keep the material consistently useful, interesting, timely, and innovative. Your Top 10 award for writers’ blogs is well-deserved. Kudos to you.
Cheers,
Valerie

Hi Michelle,

Great website loaded with wonderful information for new freelancers like myself. I see we both attended Marquette, too. So sorry I missed the Twitter discussion earlier.

I’ll be back!
