From her posts, it's evident that Monica writes clearly and succinctly-- I envy her--and with style. And, since we've encouraged her, she's begun to write professionally and has received excellent news. Below I've excerpted what she wrote to me. Congratulations, Monica!! She's written to tell me (because I told her to go for it in private e-mails) that "six of my articles were featured in the EXPERT AUTHOR [emphasis mine, Cindy's] section of a site called Ezine Articles, which is the number one online article source according to both Google and Alexa! Not only that, but they've syndicated my articles so that print publishers can pick them up if they choose. A magazine for business owners and a small women's magazine have picked up two of my articles so far. I am so excited! Lots of people submit articles, but most are rejected. It usually takes ten articles to even be considered for expert status, and that still doesn't guarantee that you'll be part of their feature section. They even gave me a featured author graphic I can paste onto any website I own! ... To see my work in print, other than my own printer, is huge!...
