Writing and Publishing In Print, On the Internet, In Blogs, In Books, In E-books... By Robert Bacal
Writing and publishing have been mainstays of Bacal & Associates, even before the Internet was publicly available. Originally we created several print newsletters for managers and HR professionals as promotional materials, and since then I've written something like fifteen books and hundreds of articles for various publications, both print and on the Internet.
I've learned a bit over that time about the craft and business of writing for different media, in addition to acquiring a good deal of experience publishing, also in different media. In this section I'll share what I have about writing and publishing, particularly within the context of running a business.
