Contrary to the notion of the starving artist, plenty of writers derive profit from often solitary hours before a keyboard and computer screen. What’s more, a journalism degree certainly helps, but it’s not the only key that unlocks the door to opportunity.
 
In her third book for writers, students, and professionals yearning to publish, Loriann Oberlin shares key prospects and requisite steps to dozens of writing jobs in Writing to Make Money: Short Projects, the first in a new series. She’s quick to suggest: Think money, not windfall; new options instead of sure-fire stardom.
 
Oberlin uses a few recognizable names, however, to drive home the point that every successful writer started some place similar to where most aspiring writers exist today. She also shows how conventional writers took chances to develop their talents and learn from mistakes made. These writers enhanced existing careers, struck up new ones, or simply earned money for a meaningful goal. 
 
This author has always encouraged readers to write well and work efficiently. Her first book was published by Writer’s Digest Books and landed in three national book clubs. As a practicing therapist now, Ms. Oberlin is uniquely qualified to cheerlead those feeling down because of rejection letters, negative selftalk, and self-defeating habits. She uses writing scenarios to explain cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques. Writing to Make Money: Short Projects lays out profitable paths and explains the author’s getincome-flowing-first approach.
