This book is for anyone who has ever said, "I'd love to write, but I don't have the time." Emerson dispels the myth that a writer needs large chunks of uninterrupted time to produce something valuable. With careful time management, 30-minute snips of "throwaway time"—waiting in the doctor's office, riding an exercise bike, waiting for a child to finish a music lesson—can be used to create short articles and items for the magazine market. As an experienced freelancer, Emerson supplies writing and marketing advice for such formats as news briefs, one-page articles, short profiles, op-eds, short humor, hints and tips, inspirationals, reviews, recipes, personal essays, children's pieces, and anecdotes. Each form is detailed in separate chapters, which end with a "Plan of Action" that breaks down the writing process into manageable 30-minute tasks.
