--- COAUTHOR BIOS --------------------------

The 2004 edition of Online Markets for Writers was coauthored by a team of experts: Anthony Tedesco, Paul Tedesco, Jake Cooney, Amy Finucane, Shawn Laasch, Michelle Manzanares, Carole Moore, Peter Fiumara, Patricia Pulvirenti and Sharon Wren.

The founding coauthors, Anthony Tedesco and Paul Tedesco, have not only been helping writers get published and paid on the Internet since 1993, they were actually instrumental in turning the Internet into a market for writers in the first place. As editorial consultant and cofounder respectively, Anthony and Paul helped launch, edit and publish the Trincoll Journal, which was nationally commended for being the very first online magazine, before HotWired and even before Mosaic, the first Web browser, revolutionized the Internet.

In 1997, Anthony wrote WRITER'S MARKET's very first chapter about writing for online markets for its 1998 edition, and he's gone on to give expert online writing advice and resources to hundreds of thousands of its readers through WRITER'S MARKET's 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2004 editions, with an assigned chapter for the 2005 edition in the works. He's also helped writers through other publications, including The Writer magazine, Details and The Boston Globe.

As a guest instructor, Anthony's taught both suburban and inner-city student writers at high school, college and graduate programs and, as a guest speaker, he's taught adult writers at many of the nation's largest writer conferences, including those of the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the National Writers Union, and the National Conference of Editorial Writers.

Anthony also teaches and advocates for writers on radio shows such as "Connections" on National Public Radio affiliate KCLU, and television news shows such as "Money Talks," on ABC in New York and its affiliates worldwide, where he represented the side of writers against the New York Times Company in its Supreme Court case debating electronic rights, and then, after writers won the case, he again represented the side of writers in creating a solution to remedy damage the defendants had done to the livelihood of writers.
