Tutorial Details:
Whether you've completed a novel or poem, or just have a really great idea for an article or nonfiction book, it's tempting to start flooding the market in search of a publisher. The fact is: Approaching potential markets willy-nilly leads to rejection and wasted effort.
A better tact, as this tutorial illustrates, is to carefully research viable markets, and then submit your work according to their specific guidelines. With the help of Writer's Market editor Robert Lee Brewer and writer/editor Alice Pope, you'll learn how to start building the clips and publishing credits that will launch your career as a writer.
In this tutorial you'll learn:
- How to discover your writing niche and use it to your advantage
- How to make the most of market resources (including directories, social networks, and virtual bookstores)
- What to include when submitting all forms of fiction and nonfiction (e.g., when to send a complete manuscript versus a query letter)
- How to build momentum once you start amassing clips
