Freebie Columns

Well, you asked for it, you got it--an online version of the Julie Benson column. It will be updated about once or twice a month, not quite as often as the weekly paid column, but that's because it's free. This version is also a bit more free-wheeling and light-hearted than the print version, since it is tailored to the tastes of online readers.

If you want to read the regular column, contact your local newspaper, newsletter or magazine and encourage them to download the columns from www.juliebenson.com . It's easy for them to check out. There is no obligation to print, and no fee unless the columns are published. It doesn't get better than that!
