How do you get your story idea looked at, let alone accepted? Should the article be written first, or only after getting an editor's go-ahead? Where do you start? Freelance article writer Shirley Kawa-Jump has written a book designed to answer all the novice writer's common questions about getting articles published by magazines, journals, and newspapers. While some writers write for pleasure, others may want to start a career. And for some, frequent publication is simply a requirement of their chosen profession. Part One examines each of these possibilities, and then goes on to explore the available writers' markets and explain how they work. Part Two provides a complete system of article submission geared to maximize the writer's odds of getting an acceptance, while avoiding those errors that can turn off an editor. Part Three reviews the nuts and bolts of the profession - from idea development to contract negotiation. If you think you have the ability to write, or you simply have the need to get published, How to Publish Your Articles will provide you with all the information you need to make it happen.
