Caricature of Marney is by Violette Welcome to the Ask Marney Column by Artella Editor and Founder, Marney Makridakis Welcome to "Ask Marney". In this column, I’ll answer selected questions submitted from the "Ask the Editor" page. I welcome your questions about writing, art, self-publishing, teaching online courses, making a living doing what you love, or anything else that I might know a little something about. I’m hardly the be-all, end-all for knowledge on these topics...but I’m delighted to help in any way I can, as a fellow pilgrim on this life journey! Column Index Use these links to read Marney's answers to Readers' questions: How do I go about finding a publisher or agent to publish my book? How do I find my passion? How do I write good content? How should I approach writing about my services and products? What's a good organizational system? What is the most crucial piece of advice for somebody who is starting a business? What is the best way of going about publishing a 'Zine? Do you have any ideas for how to deal with criticism? Is it really possible to truly make a living doing what I love? I want to write a fictional story, but use real people as characters.
