Mediabistro has a three part series on how copywriters can build a great portfolio. Apart from witticisms like this in part III, “The sad truth is that having a great book means that sooner or later you will need to collaborate with another human being. This will probably involve talking, possibly being in the same room together, often listening to ideas and disturbing personal issues not entirely your own and maybe even liking some of them,” we had a hard time getting past part II which had that strangely sexy photo of Jennifer Solow in her “Famous Author” tank top, bikini bottoms and leather jacket. Yes, yes, we know. We are easily distracted but at least we took the time to find this advice for you. Read it here, here and here.
