Five Reasons Why You Should Carry This Column

1. It’s relevant to your readers. One-third of your readers can relate to my columns on a personal level and more than half of them will live in a stepfamily at some point in their lives. Most of your readers probably know someone who lives in a stepfamily. Even intact two-parent families benefit from learning how blended families operate - as stepchildren are frequently playmates of their children or members of their extended families.

2. It has a website and free e-newsletter to help your readers. My website contains links to help stepfamilies, as well as a free monthly e-newsletter with website and book reviews. I try to provide a variety of information sources to help stepfamilies navigate the myriad of unique situations and issues that arise.

3. It's reliable. It's distributed like clockwork via email. I was a biweekly newspaper opinions columnist for more than three years, and I have the discipline it takes to crank out copy on deadline.

4. People relate to it! One of my readers, herself a stepfamily support leader, wrote about my work: "The perspective is honest in such a way that every stepparent and bio-parent could probably relate. The author tells it like it truly is in her life every week, from her perspective of course. It is full of good humor which we all need, and insights of true value."

5. It's convenient. By delivering columns to you via email, you get material quickly and it does not have to be re-keyed for publication.
