2. Web Writing: A Biz-Zone Specialty launch we have published a monthly online magazine every month true depth of our expertise in web writing comes from our experiences creating an online http://www.biz-zone.com/services/web_writing.html

WEB WRITING Web writing is a highly specialized skill where Biz-Zone is best in class. In late 1997 the concept of creating a robust, online publication for Canadian small business owners was born. At the time the dominant Canadian "dot.coms" had not been launched. Major magazines and newspapers were providing little on their websites - largely tables of contents. Meanwhile, south of the border the online media market was exploding. The need for Canadian-specific content, and that the Canadian online market was about to emerge, was clear. Completely self-financed, we tackled the development of the online magazine as we do with all of our projects: With great vigour, enthusiasm, and attention to detail. As a result, less than three months later, CanadaOne.com was launched. A pilot launch took place on Feb. 16th, followed by an official launch on March 2nd, 1998. Since our official launch we have published a monthly online magazine every month - over 47 issues to date. And our publication has boomed, a success story amid tales of dot.com woes. We have written copy for many websites. But the true depth of our expertise in web writing comes from our experiences creating an online publication as rich and detailed as CanadaOne. Today CanadaOne has over 700 articles for entrepreneurs, and the site is visited by about 30,000 unique visitors each month. We regularly get feedback from visitors who rave about the value of the content provided on CanadaOne.

If you really must use real people you know, then try to disguise that person's identity as much as possible. 1) Begin by giving your main character (protagonist) a name that you are comfortable working with. Remember, you'll be with this character for a while, so you should choose a name you at least like.

About Faze Contact Us Company Info Get Involved ... Links The Gift by Eva Blake, Devon, England, Age 14 It was her thirteenth birthday, when Laura got her diary. It was silver with grey swirls all over it, with a padlock and right from the start it seemed unusual. It was her Great Aunt Agnes who had given it to her, the one Laura always thought was a witch. Laura's mother said Laura was wrong of course, but then her mother always had doubts about Great Aunt Agnes herself. Even though there was no key and the diary was locked Laura had no problem opening it. Inside there was a message: Write today what shall happen tomorrow, Or tomorrow 'surprises' might be seen today. Laura showed this to her mum but all she could see was: To my dear Dear Niece Laura, Love your Great Aunt Agnes. Laura carefully put the dairy away and carried on opening her gifts. Later on Laura went up to her room and got out the diary. Again it was locked, but she had no problem opening it, she wondered how the gift had got to her, but it was one of those things that you just don't think about. She looked inside and found the messages again:

Tips for Online Writing The Internet gives you, the student, a whole new forum for expressing your ideas and publishing your articles. THE WEB IS THE "NEW MEDIA" However, there are a few things you need to know about using the internet instead of mainstream media to tell your stories.

WebWord.com Interviews Writing for the Web and Creating Online Content (20-Oct-98) Writing for the Web and Creating Effective Online Content An interview with online writing expert, Amy Gahran Please briefly describe your CONTENTIOUS Web-zine. CONTENTIOUS is a monthly Web-zine for writers, editors, and others who create content for online media. Unlike many other resources for the Web creation community, it does not focus on design, programming, e-commerce, online advertising, etc. It's about what people (or organizations) have to say on the Web, and how to make Web content effective. It's mainly about text content, but it also addresses other content types (images, sound, interactive databases, etc.) How can good writing, and good content, augment the usability of a Web site? There are several levels to this. On the most basic level, a well-conceived, well-written, and well-edited document is simply easier to read. The words carry you along, they don't confound or confuse you. That has been true of writing since writing itself began, it's not new to the online world. Text is the basic building block of the Web. Text plays a key role not only in terms of a site's content, but also in reader orientation and internal or external navigation systems. In this regard, the role of text is somewhat different in the online world than it has been in the print world.

Most editors don't want to receive clips as attachments (e.g., as Word or PDF files), and stuffing clips into the body of an e-mail can make your message cumbersome and unprofessional. One solution is to develop an online portfolio an author Web site where you can post your "clips." Then, you can simply refer editors to that page for samples of your work. (Always give them the option, of course, of requesting clips by surface mail as well!) An online portfolio works very much like a physical portfolio. It should be attractive, easy to peruse, and representative of your best work. If you know a little HTML, it is easy to create such a page yourself; if you don't, you'll find a number of services online that will create a low-cost author page from a set of standard templates. You can also host your page on a site like SFF.net, which offers page development assistance, or on a free site like Homestead or Yahoo! Geocities, which offer free templates.

Magazine January 1997 http://www.december.com/cmc/mag/1997/jan/callweb.html Call for Articles Special Issue of CMC Magazine Writing on the Web One of the credos of the wired world is "content is king." But unlike creating prose for more traditional media, writing on the Web is a whole new art form and the area of how best to present writing electronically is just being explored. When audiences are presented with information online, we know they read differently and so it follows that we must write differently, but how? What are the rules for good writing online? CMC Magazine will devote it's June 1997 issue to the new rules for writing online. We want to find out: What are the characteristics of good online writing? Exactly how is it different from a printed piece of prose? If you must take something in print and put it online, what editing guidelines should you follow? How can we invoke the electronic muse? How does the Web broaden our notion of writing that previously existed as the mere alphanumeric representation of characters on paper? How is the Web affecting what writing is? How should writing online be taught? Who is excluded from writing and creating content online?

Magazine September 1996 http://www.december.com/cmc/mag/1996/sep/last.html THE LAST LINK Taking a Writing for the Web Class? Don't Get Ripped Off! by John December Imagine signing up for a creative writing class and finding out the instructor covers no more than touch typing. You may have paid a thousand or more dollars for the course. You eagerly anticipated expanding your creative skills with language and growing your appreciation of how language can evoke experience. But on the first day, you find out that the text for the course is Teach Yourself Typing . The instructor describes, with enthusiasm, how you will soon master the keyboardyou'll know all the keys, all the keystroke combinations, and how to properly insert and take out paper. This, the instructor breathlessly tells you, will make you a writer! No doubt, you would be disappointed if such a scenario happened in a class you took. What institution would offer such a ludicrous course? Probably none. But many institutions are offering something similar: poorly constructed courses about "writing for the World Wide Web." The Web has exploded in popularity. Many organizations and institutions need people to develop Web sites, yet there is little training for Web content developers. Therefore, the higher education industry justifiably salivates at the opportunity to fill this gap. Many higher educational institutions, having difficulty drawing customers, offer "Writing for the Web" classes. These courses raise the profile of the institutionshowing off "cutting edge" technology (despite the fact that writing for the Web has been going on for about a half-decade).
