I've been looking at quite a few other writing blogs, looking for ones that might be willing to help spread the word about the Massive Action Day on October 1 (I've stopped using that in the subject line of my emails--it sounds too much like I'm trying to recruit people to march on Washington or London).
Here's the surprising thing I've learned: some writers' blogs make it really hard to contact the writer. I assumed every 'about' page would have an email address, but two of the three blogs I've looked at just now had no way to contact the writer (I'm not sure, but it may even be a legal requirement to have some kind of contact information on your web site).
It won't matter to these writers if they don't hear about the MAD, but what if somebody wanted to hire them, or a publisher wanted to make them an offer? I guess they could search Facebook, LinkedIn, use Google, etc. but would they bother?
Are you easy to find? You could always keep one email address just for friends and family and another for anybody else; the only way opportunities are going to find us is if we're not hiding. Opportunity has a way of moving on fast!
PS: If you can help me spread the word about the Oct 1 MAD, please do. It's more fun if we have more people.
