Brave new website

by | Mar 13, 2008 | Blog, Young Widow's Book of Home Improvement | 0 comments

Regular readers will notice that I now have a spiffy new homepage with my picture on it, plus a few pages in addition to this blog. Concluding it was time to get a bit more professional in my virtual home, the website will function as a one-stop shop for anyone remotely interested in who I am and what I’m up to. (The stuff I’m willing to disclose publicly, anyway.) I even had some head shots taken while in New York a few weeks ago and to my surprise quite a few turned out OK, thanks to my photographer friend Peter McCarthy. So next week this page will feature a “skin” consistent with the rest of the site; my love affair with bridges will continue, as ever, but will no longer be reflected so literally here.

I was amazed to learn that there were more than 3,000 unique visitors to this site in February, which I’ve put down to advance publicity for the book (its own website will go live soon) … and possibly a surfeit of leisure time. According to Technorati, which monitors the blogosphere, this number (miniscule by blogosphere standards but very encouraging in the small world of the first-time author), launched my blog into the stratosphere of – wait for it – the world’s top 3 million blogs! I’ll try not to let it go to my head.

Check out what my clients are saying…

Virginia was incredibly helpful with conducting a deep dive researching the top agents for my memoir. I had no idea where to begin with this process. Virginia provided an excellent summary sheet and description chart for each agent with details for submission requirements. I am thankful for Virginia’s experience coaching me through this cumbersome process. Without her help I would still be swimming through the vast ocean of agents. Thankfully now I have a very specific list for best chance to get a read. - 4/09/2025

Thank you again Virginia for your very thoughtful and concise video, which I have watched a number of times and now realise how difficult it is to get the query letter right, and how precise you must be in hooking the agent/publisher's interest. I totally agree with everything you have said, and very much appreciate your expertise in this area, as without it, I wouldn't stand a chance! I now feel 100% more confident that I do stand a chance to be read, and that feels good! Thank you for your invaluable support. Winifred Lomax - 2/09/2025
