Resources

Have you ever found fantastic information online that brings you instant value and benefit, or you recognize what you found might help you later, so you write the information down, but then forget to transfer what you wrote into one ready-reference resources document? Hey, me too.

Now, I make it a habit to cut and paste websites, my favorite authors, books, blogs, forums, marketing and professional services, tools, tips, tricks, and all the miscellaneous-doesn’t-fit-anywhere-else stuff into one single document. As time passes, information may change, become irrelevant, or disappears.

Editing Services

I’ve worked with all kinds of editors, some good, others great, with varying turnaround timeframes, costs, and results. I believe everyone who’s helped me improved and strengthen my content and stories. I don’t list everyone I’ve personally worked with on my Resources Page.

Not everyone I’ve personally worked with is shown in my Resources Page. When you have questions about editing, writing, marketing or other topics – contact me via my Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/3690363904375992), and also my webpage jwzarek.com (After it goes live).
