Bennett-Wilkes as she shares with us &#8220;The Benefits of the Byline: The Fine Art of Building A Reputation\u201d <em>Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><strong>I recall the first check I received for a freelance piece.<\/strong> I was so jazzed I photocopied it. I earned roughly $60 and felt I had <strong><em>conquered <\/em><\/strong>the world. Payment was for an article commissioned by the <em>Carolina Peacemaker<\/em>. I got paid <strong><em>and<\/em><\/strong> I got my byline. This achievement empowered me \u2013 payment meant validation.<\/p>\n<p>My journey to that check took approximately twenty-eight years. I wrote my first article, under my byline, for the <em>Bennett Banner<\/em>, the newspaper of my alma Mater, Bennett College, Greensboro, NC. I spent my junior year as an exchange student at Dartmouth College, back in the day when it was a men\u2019s college. I was asked to write about it. I can tell you I felt no nascent stirrings nor did I glimpse my future as a belletrist. I simply complied. By the time I was paid by the <em>Peacemaker<\/em>, I had nearly twenty-five articles I could list on my writer\u2019s resume. I was enamored of freelance writing \u2013 a love affair had begun in earnest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve been a professional writer for fifteen years. I didn\u2019t choose this career \u2013 I never aspired to be a scribe.<\/strong> I stumbled into the field tentatively consumed by hesitation. That first check gave me a tremendous boost. <strong><em>S-l-o-w-l-y<\/em><\/strong> I began to comprehend something critical to my development: I could write and get paid \u2013 oh WOW!!!<\/p>\n<p><em>Reputation, reputation, reputation! O! I have lost my reputation. I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Othello<\/em><\/p>\n<p>II, iii, 264<\/p>\n<p>William Shakespeare<\/p>\n<p><strong>When given the choice between payment and the byline \u2013 take the latter: <em>it will look good on the writer\u2019s resume. <\/em><\/strong>Getting paid to write is definitely a plus, however, having a portfolio of work published in a variety of formats: journals, magazines, and newspapers \u2013 under one\u2019s byline &#8211; demonstrates the writer\u2019s appeal, skill, and versatility. Every article or document an inditer can legally take credit for enhances her\/his marketability. It behooves the aspiring writer to recognize the benefits of building a reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Blogging was a relatively obscure past time when I began writing \u2013 I barely paid attention. Its popularity can no longer be overemphasized. Writing and posting entries is a great way to compile a list of published works for which one can claim ownership. Creating a presence in the blogosphere makes sense. It\u2019s a huge help in the credentials department. Unless a piece is posted anonymously, the authors\u2019 names are prominently displayed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The byline will help generate income.<\/strong> It\u2019s also a practical approach to establishing, burnishing, and maintaining a reputation. I\u2019ve written reports, press releases, correspondence, and various other documents for which I\u2019ve been monetarily compensated. I can list them as completed work products but I cannot include them on my writer\u2019s resume. My contribution, in some instances, made a significant difference. My role, however, was to fulfill a contractual agreement in exchange for an agreed upon fee. My clients take the credit and they assert ownership. When given the choice between payment and the byline \u2013 take the byline. <strong>Your reputation is all about you!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9October 2014 by Theresa W. Bennett-Wilkes.
