Do the Write Thing

Getting your magazine articles published can be easy. This simple manual titled Do the Write Thing will take any writer step-by-step from gathering ideas to publication. Even novice writers will soon find themselves in print.

It is important to follow the rules (which are not that difficult).

Topics covered include:

• Gathering ideas
• Searching for the right market
• Tracking articles
• Writing the query letter
• Sending the query letter
• Responding to the go-ahead
• Acceptance and what it leads to
• Rejection and how to respond
• Writing the manuscript
• Formatting the submission
• Editing your work
• Contracts and checks
• Knowing your rights
• Publication lead time
• Selling reprints

Assuming you already love to write interesting material, marketing articles is the next step. This book will help you achieve that goal. Many great writers know how to write, but never see publication, because they don’t know about the business of selling. From query letter to quick acceptance, getting published is easier than you might think.

With a copy of Do the Write Thing by your side, you’ll soon see your byline, articles, bio, and maybe even a photo in magazines you’ve never heard of before. Many writers want to start at the top, but credibility starts at the bottom. Surprisingly enough, many little-known magazines pay well. Get your copy of Do the Write Thing and get started. Author and Success Coach Karen Robertson says, “Anyone who follows through can get published.”
