AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT & REVIEW - Beth Bartlett

 Good morning, everyone!

I wasn't planning on much of anything for blog posts for December, until I got an email from a dear friend announcing the release of her new 'writing planner'.  Being my friend and the word 'planner' in the subject line, I couldn't pass up getting one more Writer's Nest week posts up. So here we go!


Today, I'm introducing you to Beth Bartlett. I've known her and her husband for over twenty years. Let's share a bit about her:

Beth is married to a magician and lives in Arkansas. She is a self-proclaimed pop-culture geek. She writes on many topics, although her current focus is entertainment and pop culture. 


BLURB:

The 2022 Writers Planner is made for writers, by a writer. The weekly format offers plenty of room for notes, plus famous authors’ birthdays and writing-related holidays to keep you inspired!

REVIEW:

Now about that writing planner. If you are a freelance writer, this is the perfect tool for your business. 

Compact in size, measuring only 6" x 9", perfect for dropping into your bag or taking up minimal space on your desk. 

On the inside, you start with a brainstorming page. Then each month is laid out with a Week on One Page (Sunday -Saturday). The last full week of the month has a corresponding page for Submissions Tracker and another for Upcoming Deadlines. I did notice that throughout the planner, sometimes the Submissions came first, then Deadlines and vice versa. None the less, the information is still in one place - at the end of each month.

The Weekly Pages have large enough blocks (1" x 4-1/2") for making notes as well as some corresponding holidays to trigger potential article ideas.There are several pages in the very back for making notes.

If I were still doing freelance, I would use this planner daily. I'm still going to, and here's why.

This planner would make a great Social Media planner. You can track ideas, make notes of potential social media posts related to holidays, etc. Use the Brainstorming/ Notes pages for writing down ideas for blog/ youtube/ IG/ twitter/ FB posts as they come to you. This planner is compact enough to keep in your bag on the go for when ideas strike!

Because of the great layout and multiple uses, I'm giving the 2022 Writer's Planner...

All my best
