Magazine Mojo–My Celeb + Green Articles
Books are my thing. But for six years, I was the West Coast Features Editor at Balance magazine. Here are the hot mamas I was blessed to interview & write about. (Click on covers to read.) I never did figure out how to post my environmental articles for the Green Scene Dept. at the now defunct Delta’s Sky magazine (love them!), but crafting those pieces was an honor I will forever cherish.

#BeautifulWritersGroup members! New Expert Interview on writing for MEDIUM is up in our member’s area. 🎉 (Different than #BeautifulWritersPodcast interviews.) In addition, you’ll notice that this week’s Member Spotlight in the newsletter is of the same gal! 😊
@suzannaq is a top MEDIUM writer who loves the platform and has loads to share as the editor-in-chief of The Virago (an imprint for Medium).
In this fabulous hour-long chat (which anyone can access by joining our writing group—see link below), Suzanna discusses how she’s built her email list, promoted her business, and had the time of her life finding her voice while heading up her Medium imprint AND getting paid to write each article. What’s Medium? An online social journalism publishing platform. Like a blog + an online magazine, used by 170 million readers & writers. ✍️✨🏆
We discuss: The difference between @medium & Substack (and why she loves them both). ✨
Watching her first online article go super viral (with millions of downloads) and what that taught her. ✨The importance of a great title & images, and tips to ensure you choose winners. ✨How to create a “call to action” in the bio of all your articles.✨The priceless value of owning your work by keeping your copyright (hence, having the creative freedom to publish your pieces in many other venues). ✨Finding the courage to tell your story when people in your life want you to remain silent. ✨The best way to keep readers on your website. ✨Why writing without the tools to properly combine sentences and share those expressions is like owning a Ferrari without the keys. ✨Using Medium’s built-in audience (a massive database with SEO) to grow your platform and help make you agent-ready. ✨Engaging with your readers in the comments section, where the real party is.✨
For all our interviews and access to 9 hours of weekly #WriteIns, monthly Q&A calls, our online community, and more, go to BeautifulWritersGroup.com (link in bio). 📚
See you there. Write On!

Fun Fun! Question for you Linda as you have horses. Took my Dad to a stable yesterday and they gave us these treats to feed the horses. Do you know if these treats are specifically for horses or can other animals like squirrels, rabbits, birds eat them? We have some left over and didn't want them to go to waste. 🙂
Fun
Run run run, we love to run!

Wow. It’s the first time all three of these LA teams have ever won on the same night! Were you at any of Friday night’s games (or last night—where the streaks continued & the Dodgers won game 2 & the Lakers beat the Kings?). Mama’s nostalgic. 🥹😍 After over a decade often spent…
Thanks to all of our amazing guests over the years! 💜And thanks to you, our beloved listeners! 💙Can you believe it’s been 9 years already since @DanielleLaPorte and I kicked off our first group of shows? I LOVED recording the episodes then as a team, and I now love flying solo…
I’m a weepy ball of emotions since Sunday’s announcement of my indefinite pause from my writing retreats. How is it that I’d make such a decision two days before starting a group with some of the most talented, heartfelt, enjoyable writers EVER?! Ah, the universe has such a sense…
🗞️News about my beloved writing retreats: I am pausing them indefinitely after 15 years and around 100 groups. 🫶🏻 Mama’s got a lot of exciting things going on and needs her energy for them. ✨ We’ve still got ways to stay connected!
Read about it on today’s blog—and find out how…
