Writers’ Roundup: November 4

Great week! One of the highlights was attending Study Hall DC, a co-working (more like co-chatting) space for D.C. entrepreneurs. Interaction like this is so important now that I work from home; I always feel energized after talking big-picture ideas with other go-getters.

Links worth checking out from this week:

• Have you seen Steve Jobs’ sister’s eulogy for him? If you read one link from this list, this tribute should be it.

• Fast Company explains how big companies can attract and keep digital talent. (Legacy news orgs, we’re looking at YOU.)

• Tips for making your blog easier to read, from Marian Schembari. Short paragraphs! Short paragraphs!

• Why and how to look for a new job before you’re unhappy, from Alyssa Martino on Brazen Life.

• Everyday Bright also had a good job-search post on accessing hidden opportunities.

• Mashable comes through with advice for maximizing your home office tax deductions. Mashable also wrote about Contently this week, which looks like a great place to find freelance writing gigs.

• Interesting perspective on transitioning toward digital while self-publishing and away from paperbacks, at Catherine, Caffeinated.

• For the journalists among us, Steve Buttry offers an in-depth post about how to attribute properly. Good tips and reminders.

• We’re running a new feature over at Brazen Life: Write a post on your blog about landing your first job (tips, advice, a story — anything goes), and we’ll link to it on Brazen at the end of the month. This is a solid opportunity to bring new eyes to your site.

Finally, a handful of you have asked about my blog coaching package. I’ve kept it under-wraps for the last year, only taking on clients that had the initiative to ask me whether I could help them improve their blog. But I’ve so enjoyed working with these individuals that I’m extending the offer to everyone. So here it is, my blog coaching package.

Enjoy your weekend!
