Yes, I do other things besides hike, write hiking guides, and blog about hiking.<\/p>\n

Like many other outdoors bloggers, I’m a full-time writer. In my case, I’ve made most of my income since leaving college teaching in 1994 by writing supplements and ancillaries — instructor’s manuals, study guides, test questions, Internet exercises, etc — for college textbooks.<\/p>\n

A few months ago I decided I wanted to expand my writing and start creating my own products.<\/p>\n

The first is my e-book Writing College Textbook Supplements: The Definitive Guide to Winning High-Paying Assignments in the College Textbook Publishing Market<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

How does this relate to hiking? Well, as often happens, I get my best inspiration when I’m walking the trails, and that’s where I dictated much of the outline into my digital recorder.<\/p>\n

It would help me tremendously if you could:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. pass on the links to my main book site and the Writing College Textbook Supplements blog<\/a> (see press release below) to anyone you know who teaches or has taught college, or is a freelance writer<\/li>\n
  2. link to either or both of the main Writing College Textbook Supplements<\/a> sales page or to the Writing College Textbook Supplements blog<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I appreciate any help you can give.<\/p>\n

    Next post will be directly related to hiking, I promise!<\/p>\n
