I haven't worn makeup for twenty years, but I realized when my book came out that if I was going to go teach, speak, sign and what-not, I'd better do it. So, I still don't wear makeup every day, but when I want to appear professional, I do. And I actually like it!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445455787485222068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021334748633952462.post-91472787355030751172012-08-30T06:33:46.387-07:002012-08-30T06:33:46.387-07:00This makes me think that I need to clean up my blo...This makes me think that I need to clean up my blog a little.

I like to hope that professional appearance means more than just physical appearance but also the way one carries oneself, speaks, and acts. Regardless, I believe the combination of talent and professionalism make a person stand out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021334748633952462.post-593651919901524432012-08-29T19:42:24.958-07:002012-08-29T19:42:24.958-07:00Publishing is absolutely about being professional,...Publishing is absolutely about being professional, and that includes how you present yourself online and offline, in pictures, and in your words. I've made some mistakes, but I've learned from them. I've definitely learned that it's important to remain professional, but also personable. Michelle D.

Sometimes, I imagine that my manuscript was rejected by Agent X because my main character has the same name as the roommate they had, and hated, in college. You never know. <br /><br />But, as for your actual question, to make my online presence professional, I had a photographer do my author photos. I try not to post personal information on my blog, unless it directly pertains to writing. Same for my social media accounts. I always address agents and editors as Mr. or Ms. in my communication with them. Finally, I keep in my mind that writing is a very personal and emotional process. Querying and publishing is a business transaction. <br /><br />Thanks for the interesting blog post.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063058173619213791noreply@blogger.com
