eBook Reviews
"In The Urban Muse Guide to Online Writing Markets, Susan breaks down not only the benefits of writing for the web — faster turn around, shorter pieces, different writing styles — but also the tools that a freelance writer will need to land web only gigs ... There’s a true gold mine hidden in the second half of The Urban Muse Guide to Online Writing Markets. Not only does Susan tell you how to go about landing online writing opportunities, but she gives you pages of markets you can query and, quite likely, write for."

"Web-based markets can be especially expat-friendly since many are not geographically specific, so I recommend this e-book for any writer out there looking to explore new opportunities online. Johnston has written for many websites (as well as for print publications like Self and The Christian Science Monitor) and if there was ever a freelancer to tell you how to make it as a writer, it's Johnston."
~Chantal Panozzo, Writer Abroad
"The advice is great because it’s based on Johnston’s considerable experience. She includes tips on how to query, what to do if you have zero clips, how to track submissions, how to negotiate better rates, and much more. Real-life samples of query letters and the articles they sold, show how the pitching process works ... Even experienced writers will find lots of tips here."
~Janet Martin, Freelance Switch
"Johnston’s eBook combines a directory of online writing markets with samples of successful query letters and 'loads of tips on contacting editors, sleuthing out new markets, and more.' She explains the benefits of writing for websites, how to write follow up letters to editors, and shares other places to find online markets (bonus tips!)."
