Quilting & Patchwork Blogger Interviewed
It was exciting to see Yvonne Russell’s article, The Web - Your Partner in Promotion, at Grow Your Writing Business and discover it included an interview of me and one of the other blogs I write for b5media.

Since many quilters are writers, or at least contribute patterns and information for books, so you may find the advice Yvonne offers on her blog of great interest. Her general advice also applies to businesses, which would include those offering quilts, fabric art, fabrics and other supplies.
Much of what Yvonne offers here concerns promotion via the Internet and blogs. She and I discussed this topic at length before she wrote this article.
Yvonne comments: “Bloggers and online writers [book authors and quilting businesses] need to become e-marketers and look for opportunities on the web. Our potential clients are not around the corner anymore. If you’re on the web, you have a global market. You have an international client base.”
How have you found your book and/or business promotion changing because you have the whole world wide web to explore?

Hi Mary Emma
Thanks for mentioning my article. You say “you have the whole world wide web to explore”.
That really points to the breadth of amazing possibilities. The “explore” can bring lots of learning too about business and quilting, and how others do things. Approached the right way, it opens up a whole new way of doing things, plus new markets too.
