In
1968 Marian Bond was an unpublished writer
living in the country near Modesto,
California
As
do many aspiring to be published, she
first began writing news items for the
local newspaper, the Modesto Bee, and
became a regular contributor to that
publication as well as the Sacramento Bee
and the Fresno Bee.
When
in 1971 she and her family moved to Los
Angeles, a wide range of writing
opportunities became available, and the
rest is a pretty remarkable story to say
the least.
Having
contributed
to over
100 publications--including
the Los
Angeles
Times and
the San
Jose
Mercury
News
over
the last
35 years,
Marian
has gained
a wealth
of experience,
and knowledge
in
finding the
story,
dealing
with
editors,
preparing
for and
doing
the interview,
and writing
and preparing
the manuscript.
She
has also
become
an accomplished
photographer
with
numerous
cover
photos
to her
credit.
Now
living in Reno, Nevada with her husband
Bob, who has also become a freelance
writer, Marian is now willing to share her
expertise with others who may be working
toward that ever so important by-line and
first check by participating in writers'
conferences.
