Sharon McDonnell was quoted in The Writer in its January 2013 “Marketing Blitz” story on how she’s sold articles to New York Times, National Geographic Traveler, American Way, Wine Enthusiast, etc. Hint: She doesn’t waste her time on what she calls “anti-social media.”  See http://www.writermag.com/en/Articles/2012/11/Marketing%20Blitz.aspx
