About this newsletter

February has rolled around and 2009 is well and truly here! The year has begun on mixed notes, with the economy taking a beating and the slowdown showing signs of making an appearance in India. Business writers and journalists are busy covering the stock market, Satyam and more. Others may find the work in their kitty on the decline.

The slowdown is a great time to hone your writing skills with a course or two, build a portfolio and get networking, so we have more features and courses lined up this quarter. Also find out more about jobs for writers in the Write Job section on the site.

In this edition of the newsletter, we bring you useful insights on how and where to look for writing opportunities during times of recession. Also, meet technical writer and single mom Pia Briccocola. Find out more about what sets you apart from other writers in the feature on the Freelance Writer, read about Google Chrome and learn what the buzzword 'Author Platform' actually means.

Happy Reading!
