    Hi Virginia,

    I learned that you are not only a mom of three and the owner of Stories for Children, I also learned that you are a freelance editor and a published author of two books and over 30 short stories and articles. You are quite the busy woman!

And one of the best ways to do that is through the internet. I put these three together because in reality everyone has their own idea on how to market themselves on the internet. I personally use all three ways to market my work and myself. I know others who use only one form to promote themselves. Whichever you choose, make sure you keep it updated with the most current information about you.
