RJ CLARK began his career as a child actor. His was the face of the national US Army “Stay in School” ad campaign. RJ also appeared regularly on daytime television and worked on numerous film and commercial projects before inevitably returning to his first true love, writing. As a screenwriter, RJ's screenplays won first prize or placed in the top 5 of nearly every major national—and international—competition worth mentioning. His novella, Two for One launched the indie literary magazine “The Instagatorzine,” broken into two parts across the magazine's first two issues. A native New Yorker, RJ attended NYU, holds a BFA and an MFA. He has lived in all five boroughs, but now calls historic Asbury Park, NJ home with his wife and dog, an Aussillon named Venus. While RJ no longer works in the theatre as an actor, he provides accessibility services for deaf patrons at live performances throughout the country. He is passionate about theatre being for all, and enjoys being able to introduce new shows to deaf or hard of hearing patrons. When not writing, you're most likely to find RJ either playing guitar along the Jersey Shore, taking photographs of cool dogs and musicians around Asbury Park, voraciously reading new books, working on new music, or traveling the world. A few of RJ's most favorite things include black coffee, chocolate, Stephen King, peanut butter, Pringle's, Truman Capote, tabletop games, the Universal Studios Monsters, horror movies, and David Tennant. STAYCATION is RJ's debut novel. -- Andre Gonzalez is the international bestselling author of the Wealth of Time Series. He writes time-travel, thriller, and horror books after spending many years reading and studying the works of Stephen King and Dean Koontz.

Is there a real appetite by South Africa to extradite the Gupta brothers and other fugitives from justice?? This is a question that many South Africans are asking after this week's announcement of the failure of the Gupta brothers' extradition process in the United Arab Emirates. However yesterday's announcement of the re-arrest of escaped fugitive Thabo Bester in Tanzania  along with Dr Nandipha Magudumana and a Mozambican national who has been named as Zacharia Alberto, has some what re-ignited the hope that justice may be served. In our Sunday Morning Discussion we  want to examine whether the re-arrest of Thabo Bester improves the chances of other fugitives, like the Gupta brothers, to face justice in South Africa.For this conversation we spoke to Advocate Paul Hoffman, Director at Accoutability Now, as well as  Independent Writer and Researcher, Dr Dale McKinley.

Episode Topic: Identity and PowerHow do you prove that you are who you say you are?

Tom spent 16 years within the more journalistic side of PR where he discovered and mastered the power of the press release, which amongst a whole host of other topics, we’re going to cover today. Tom also creates online course, covering topics such as press release writing, which I implore you to check out. The link as always is in the show notes. Takeaways - Tom described a PR Strategy as one that gets you in front of a much bigger audience than your current comms do, to those that don’t know you yet. - The main difference between Journalism and standard copywriting is that when writing a piece for a journalist, you are doing just that, writing with the middleman in mind. What will gain their attention and trust enough for them to publish it, whereas you have much more control in your copywriting and where this will be featured and the final edit! - In order to write an effective press release, Tom shared the elements that we all need to be considering: - The Who, What, Where, Why and When - It needs to be quick and succinctly written - With a solid 1st paragraph - And a punchy first line - And remember, always ruin the ending, by placing this at the beginning!

Recently, RMFW started recognizing its Honored Guiding Members and this time on the podcast we’ve got the 2018 honoree, Janet Fogg. Janet joined RMFW in 1993 after placing third in the Colorado Gold contest. Rising early every day to write before heading off to her day job as CFO and Managing Principal of an architecture firm, Janet wrote four manuscripts before receiving a contract for her first traditionally published novel, Soliloquy, a HOLT Medallion Award of Merit winner. After 29 years she resigned from the firm and now splits her working days between writing and serving on the Board of Directors of a different architectural firm. The writing, as you will hear on the podcast, never stopped. For RMFW, her volunteer work is impressive. She has judged contest, volunteered at the registration desk, at agent sign-in, as a moderator and instructor, and on the committee reviewing potential workshops. She regularly contributed to RMFW's blog, has chaired Writer of the Year and Independent Writer of the Year nomination committees, created guidelines for a potential, future RMFW Mentor Program, and has served on the Board of Directors as Published Author Liaison and more recently, as Vice-President. Last year, she assumed primary responsibility for RMFW's "It's a Book" promotional mailer. No question about it, Janet Fogg is certainly a very worthy Honored Guiding Member.

Have you ever wondered how to become freelance location independent writer? This week I speak with Joni Sweet who is a full time freelance remote writer. Before becoming a remote writer, Joni took a lot of twists and turns in her career. From working in a Newspaper in Indonesia, a travel magazine in New York City to slowly transitioning to the finance industry where she worked as a content strategist before finally becoming a full time remote writer. Her experience in the finance industry allowed her to realize that she did not thrive working in an office. The feeling of discontent and the need to pay off student loans led Joni to dive into becoming a part time remote writer while still working at her day job. Today Joni lives in New York City as a full time writer and has been published in National Geographic, Forbes, Thrillist, Huffington Post and so much more. On this episode Joni shares how to become a freelance location independent writer and why prioritizing what's most important in your life is crucial to success.   WANT TO LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE AND BE LOCATION INDEPENDENT?
