| Three Steps to Publication |
Thanks to Kimberley Freeman |
| There are three basic steps to publication. 1. Apply Butt to Chair and write everyday. Despite the notion of writing being a mysterious, romantic endeavour, it's basically a skill that improves with practice. 2. Write to please yourself, and don't worry so much about "What's selling," and "what's hot." Entertain yourself and you'll find that others are entertained, too. 3. Hire a professional copy editor before sending your work to agents, literary journals, even your mother. And that's after you've written several drafts and made it as good and tight as you possibly can. After mastering the above three rules, publication is a matter of timing and perseverance. | |
