    About this ebook

    Wouldn’t it be wonderful to read a want ad like this:

    Motorsports Reporter wanted.
    Qualifications -Must have passion for motorsports, professionalism, dedication, curiosity, some innate basic writing ability, and a desire to learn. No college degree required.

    Well, it is not as far-fetched as it may seem. While very few can make a living at it, many local tracks and small racing publications are in great need of someone to cover local motorsports tracks. That someone could be you!

    Author

    Robin E Ervin

    I have been a freelance motorsports reporter since 1993 and have been covering racing action in the central New Jersey area.I started by covering go-kart racing and progressed to writing shop profiles and driver profiles for racing newspapers and racing magazines. Currently I cover racing seminars at the yearly Motorsports Expo in Oaks Pennsylvania and Saturday and Sunday racing activity at Wall Stadium Speedway in Wall Township New Jersey.I have won writing awards at the yearly Eastern Motorsports Press Association convention and authored a biography paperback called "Champion! The Ron Hornaday Jr Story."I am an avid animal lover and I have several years’ experience as a fish mom to an assortment of Betta fish as well as several Cory Cat fish, Mystery snails and Angel fish. Every Betta fish I every owned lived for many years in the lap of fish luxury.I am also a cat mom to three rescued cats who live outdoors at my New Jersey home in cat condos due to my husband’s allergies.

      Dec 12, 2022

      Publishing is a funny business. In many ways, it has very specific rules that writers must follow if they want to find success … that is, except for the times when they don’t follow those rules and still find success. As such, I want to share a few v
