Great Story: I Am A Zombie Filled With Love

You've probably seen a few zombie movie, but have you ever wondered about the zombies' point of view? This strange and sad short story by Isaac Marion gives a compelling look into how a zombie might feel. It's a beautiful, well-written story. I like it a lot. It makes me feel funny:

I am a zombie, and it's not so bad. I'm learning to live with it. I'm sorry I can't properly introduce myself, but I don't have a name anymore. Hardly any of us do. We forget them, like anniversaries and PIN numbers. I think mine might have started with a "T", but I'm not sure. It's funny, because back when I was alive, I was always forgetting other people's names. I am finding that irony abounds in the zombie life, an ever-present punch line. But it's hard to smile when your lips have rotted off.

What You Need In a Media Kit

What you need in a media kit to market your indie project:

-fact sheet about you, your qualifications and your business
-brochure and product description, or like in my case, also excerpts from your book
-photos of you and/or your project
-copies of articles already published about you, customer endorsements, ideas for future news stories on you
-your latest press release about your project
-put it all in a folder with a biz card slot. You can also include a personal letter to each editor/producer you're sending it to
-one page questions and answers

Then make a list of media to send it to, then go!

How To Write a Full-Fleshed Piece of Work

This is what you have to do to write a full-fleshed piece of work: write, edit, rewrite, edit, then write it all over again. You may have to do this several times/ It's nothing personal and no indication of your inner talent. Most everyone has to go through multiple edits. Once you have finished your initial draft, re-read and edit for grammar, spelling, accuracy, and completeness. Also, does it express your writing style; how easy does it read to you. If it's a non-fiction piece make sure your facts and references are complete.
