Author Interview: How to Make a Living off of Writing Books
This author is an authority on book writing and offers tips on supporting yourself as a writer. Read on to find out what he says about public speaking, the kryptonite that keeps some writers from succeeding, and more!
Do you have kryptonite as a writer?
As a writer, you could have a "kryptonite"—that one thing you can't seem to get over. It can be a writing disability, a lack of time, or something else. The most successful authors, like LB Wells, can overcome these challenges.
There are some actions you can do to combat your weakness:
- You need to identify it.
- It would be best if you eliminated it.
- You must take the necessary steps to prevent it from returning.
In a nutshell, developing your writing skills and imagination is essential to become a writer. It's vital to plan your writing week so you can write many words. It would be best if you worked on speed. It will be ideal if you have good time management skills.

Writing for Parenting Magazines
I think
it’s important to record how you started doing something you are very
passionate about, so I’m going to share my writer story. Keep in mind I
didn’t have Internet access at my house until roughly 2013, so my early career
was spent researching and submitting at the library, at my mom’s house, my
dad’s house, friends’ houses, my husband’s workplace, etc. I was determined and
I had a fire in my belly!
I always thought of myself as a writer growing up, but I didn’t think I was that great at it…nothing special. I got good grades in English and Creative Writing classes in school and even wrote some decent papers during my community college years. I was always observing, journaling, and venting on paper. Interesting things happened to me, as well as experiences that would have served as great warning stories for others, but I didn’t know how to craft them into something people would want to read.

Kerrie McLoughlin References and Recommendations
"Thanks for your wonderful ebook! If it wasn't for your wonderful advice, I wouldn't be getting these articles accepted!!!" — Dr. Anne Zachry, writer
"Kerrie's book has been a go-to resource for me in finding out information about parenting magazines throughout the United States. One of her talents is a willingness to share what she's learned with other writers so that they can make progress in their careers." — Liz Sheffield, writer
"A dandy book about a very specific topic and market (parenting) that should help lots of writers get in print and fatten their larder, modestly. I like that you explain reprints and why it makes huge sense to sell and sell good copy until it expires or you do. A fun book to read too, as is your website." — Gordon Burgett, author of 40 published books and 1,700+ articles
"Kerrie has put together a fabulous resource for beginners as well as seasoned writers. She tells you all you need to know for pitching your work to publishers and editors. Her database is fantastic. And her tips for "behind the scenes," like keeping track of submissions are spot on." — Jessica Fisher, freelance writer and author, blogger/owner at LifeAsMom.com

Editors Don't Care Where You Live: Get Published and Get Paid Selling Reprints to Parenting Magazines
In 2006 or so, I started writing for regional parenting magazines. The success I've had since has been amazing! Here's what happened ...
- I could not comprehend something a friend was doing (grocery shopping daily with small kids). At that time I had 3 small kids of my own and had to stock up on food because grocery shopping with my kids while my husband was out of town quite frankly sucked.
- I wrote out my thoughts (I'm a huge journaler) and they eventually turned into something resembling what I had seen in my local parenting magazine, Kansas City Parent.
- I emailed my piece to KC Parent and they bought it for $25. I was thrilled! I was PUBLISHED and PAID!
