RV Hometown

Kay began her writing career in 1986, intending to take her business on the road in a motorhome as quickly as possible. It took six years of fine-tuning projects and refining marketing techniques until it could become portable. In 1992, she was finally able to hit the road. Fifteen years later, she is still at it.

At first, Kay wrote articles for magazines and newspapers, and produced promotional materials for a variety of clients. In 1989 she discovered the project that set her free—joint newsletters that could be produced for groups of compatible clients. Kay says those newsletter projects along with advertising columns for business owners became the bedrock of her business. They also inspired her to think creatively about other writing ventures that would be welcomed by business owners anywhere in the United States, and even beyond. Twenty-five different projects that make money are detailed in the book, Portable Writing; each includes marketing directions.

Kay is convinced that anyone who wants to make money as a writer can do it. "Education doesn’t matter. Most people learned the skills needed to succeed in school—they just haven’t trusted them before." Geography doesn’t matter, either, she explains. "No matter where you live or travel, you can keep in touch with clients and publishers. Long-distance writing opportunities are expanding every day, thanks to the Internet." Kay believes there’s no better lifestyle than traveling and earning income on the go.

If you dream of freeing yourself from the rat race and seeing the country while you earn money to pay for the journey, the book, Portable Writing offers both your survival guide and your ticket to freedom. The book is available as an ebook for $9.95, or in paperback, $16.95, 208 pages.
