Profile Information
- About my Business:
- I help creative writers get published and I help small business owners improve their communication so they can build their brand and grow their business. I edit books with a speciality in business and motivational books. I offer workshops (fiction, creative nonfiction, business writing, and poetry) and writing coaching. My website is www.aliceosborn.com for more info.
- About Me:
- Hi! My name is Alice Osborn and I'm out to change the world. I'm a poet, freelance writer, teacher, editor, and author of three books of poetry: After the Steaming Stops (Main Street Rag Publishing Co, 2012), Unfinished Projects (Main Street Rag Publishing Co, 2010) and Right Lane Ends (Catawba, 2006). Since the fourth grade, I've wanted to be a writer. However, I didn't seriously jump into a writing career until 2003 where I found my voice through poems, journals, and stories. Writing poetry helps me examine the intricacies and ironies of life and relationships through sound, words, and images. I enjoy writing memoir poems in free verse (many of my poems spring from my childhood), as well as historical and narrative poems. In addition, I also teach memoir, journaling, poetry and fiction to adults and middle school students. My favorite section of the Sunday paper is the Arts and Living section of the News & Observer and on my nightstand you'll find books I need to review for Pedestal Magazine, along with a few nonfiction favorites such as In Cold Blood by Truman Capote and Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. I grew up in the Washington, D.C. area and now live in Raleigh, NC with my husband, son, and daughter.

Hank, Why Do You Drink?
How many times over the course of a week does someone ask you , “What do you do?” Instead of telling them that you’re a writer, author, entrepreneur, or broke as hell, turn that question around and answer as if they ask you, “Why do you do what you do?” Dave Baldwin pens another fantastic [...]Are You a Clutter Bug?
I sure am! But things were getting a little too hairy and I was afraid I might fall into my piles of paper, notebooks, binders, and file folders and not come out. My in-laws’ visit this past weekend gave me an accountability date and I filled our recycling bin with over 100 lbs of [...]Phone Calls or Email?
How do you best connect with your clients? Are you a phone or an email person? I’m definitely an email person and here’s why! I only learned about how greet on the phone AFTER I was rude to my flute teacher at age 11. Instead of saying, “Hi, this is Alice. How are you?” [...]How to Awaken the Imagination in Writing and Business
This month, I read a book that completely changed my outlook on writing, business, and life in general. From Where You Dream by Robert Olen Butler is a practical discussion about the art of writing a novel, but the principles that Butler discusses apply equally to every kind of writing—and they translate to other disciplines [...]How to Awaken the Imagination in Writing and Business
Thank you, Dave Baldwin for another fantastic post about how tips from a noted novelist can help you overcome your writing blocks. Enjoy and be inspired!

What Are Your Writing Right Now?
Posted on February 27, 2013 at 11:08am 1 Comment 1 Like
If you’re an author, it’s quite common to be asked at a reading what’s your next project. You always need to be working on something, or you might as well hang up your pen! The question, “What are you writing right now?” inspired this blog hop where a number of writers from all over the U.S. are writing on “My…
How Do You Book a Book Signing?

When you’re an independent author (read self-published), or publish with a small press or are a poet whose name is not Billy Collins or Maya Angelou, you have to book your own signing gigs, much like independent musicians book theirs. Your publisher is too small to do it for you. How do you go about doing this? Well, today we’re going to discuss booking a gig in your own backyard with local business owners.
How To Book a Gig:

Want a cost-effective way to touch base with fellow writers and readers? Then create an enewsletter. In this challenging economy, authors should consider the e-newsletter as a vital part of their marketing plan to distinguish themselves from other writers and allow potential readers to get to know them and their books for the long haul. You don’t even need to know HTML in order to publish a class-act newsletter: email marketing software providers such as…

Alice Osborn's Free Poetry Workshop on Long Island

This Sunday afternoon from 3-5pm, June 26th, I'll be in Huntington, Long Island giving a free poetry workshop at the Book Revue Bookstore, Long Island's oldest and largest independent bookstore. This special gig came about last Thanksgiving when I was up in New York visiting my in-laws with my husband and children. We visited my husband's sister and I told everyone I wanted to check out the Book Revue and see if 1) they'd be interested in…
