Having been a freelance blogger since 2009, I’m used to looking for ways to improve my pitches and blogging job applications. But we wanted to expand the blog from 3-4 posts a week to 7+, as well as start to work on some other cool content projects, and for that, we needed to bring another full-time blogger on staff.

In 2009, I started a blog because a fellow author said that during the one to two years it would take to write a book, my writing would improve and change. Also, an author’s blog almost always points to that author’s book.
