Sooooooooo close
Aug. 23rd, 2006 11:16 pmI got the proofs today for the pamphlet for my new biography business. Of course, I had to make a couple of changes to it, but they were mostly textual. I'll be getting the final proof as a PDF in the next couple of days and then production begins! I'll be starting with a run of 2500 copies of the pamphlet and then start marketing the service.
You can see what the pamphlet looks like by going to my makeshift website at: www.documentia.ca/milestone/
Also, I got a call from the approval committe from the Conseil des Arts et Lettre du Quebec (CALQ) who say they need one more piece of information from me (a confirmation letter from Edmonton) and they're ready to approve my travel grant. Wheee!
On the flip side, I also got a lead on a new technical writing contract. This is a bit of a conundrum for me because if I want the biography business to work, I need to be dedicated to it. But the new contract would be a sweet amount of money... Maybe if I can work it out to be part-time work, I can have the guaranteed contract income while hunting for new biographies to write.
It's all about risk management and leaping from what's comfortable to what's unknown and dangerous, but potentially so much better.
