Hello, all!
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
This is our After Hours Forum,
with me, Mary Rosenblum, your web editor. I've published seven novels and
more than 60 short stories and will do my best to answer any questions you
have. If you're new here, remember that you need to click on the 'Ask a
Question' button or the 'word bubble' next to the red question mark at the top
of the screen in order to ask a question. Your regular 'send' bar won't
reach me! Or you can use /ask and type your question into the regular send
bar if that works better for you..
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
I hope you've all had a good
week!
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
For those of you with a
romantic bent, I posted a new short Romance market on the New Market
Updates area:
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Wax Romantic.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
They don't pay a lot, although
they say they hope to, but there are very few markets for short romance.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Don't forget that next
Thursday's speaker is Patrick Swenson..
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
publisher (Fairwood Press) and
editor (Talebones Magazine). He was a great guest last time, and if you
missed...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
his first appearance here, do
try to make this one.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
He'll be talking about small
press, and can answer any questions you have about publishing with small
press publishers.

Mary, I'd like to say a word of
warning to everyone. I have just finished formatting my hard drive for the
4th time in as many days. I lost over 50% of my research for an article
I've been working on. Please remind everyone to back up their work on
removeable disks or at least print hard copies of everything.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Ouch, patchwork, that is a
very hard lesson to learn!
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Yes, obsessive backing up on
some removable media is very very important.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Hard drives die. Viruses
compromise files.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
When you are done working for
the day, just save your files to a 3.5 disk if nothing else.
|
|
patchworkcat
|
At least I had most of my work
backed up. It was just the most recent stuff that I lost.
|
|
tkat_2
|
I learned that lesson too the
same way patchwork
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Most of us do, alas.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
AND...I just posted a very
nice 'how to' by Gary Kearney on how to back up for those who aren't sure.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
He includes his usual pictures
of the actual computer screen, so you don't have to translate verbal
instructions.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Backup
article
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Here's the link to the article
for you.
|
|
patchworkcat
|
I'm obsessive about hitting the
Save button every few sentences when I write, but had been lax about
backing up the entire file to a CD.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
A tip for you folks with newer
computers and CD burners. You can save your novel chapters in a single file
folder and save that folder periodically to a CD.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
It's fast. Make it a regular
chore for a particular day of the week...but back up recent work every time
you create it.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Floppy disks are cheap.
|
|
rupbert
|
My first health column was out
yesterday-To Your Health")
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Good for you, rupbert!
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Is To Your Healt the name of
the magazine or the article?
|
|
coway
|
I moofed, did you say Patrick
Swenson will be here next week?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Yes, next Thursday. To talk
about Small Press publishing.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Bring your questions.
|
|
rupbert
|
The name of the column in a
local mag
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
What magazine, rupbert? One we
can find?
|
|
rupbert
|
The article was on natural
remedies for the summer
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Very cool!
|
|
rupbert
|
My local mag in North Kingstown,
RI. I can send you a copy
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
I'd love to have a copy. :-)
Thanks!
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Okay, we should get to the
topic here. :-)
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Which is how to avoid giving
away the fact that you are a new writer...and is that really so awful?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
There is sort of a feeling
that if an editor even guesses that you're a new, unpublished writer you'll
get rejected...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
that writing is a closed shop,
and you need the secret handshake to get through the door.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
That is far, far from the
truth.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Editors really aren't the ogre
gatekeepers we all think they are when we're starting out.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Their purpose is not to keep
newcomers out of their magazines and make life miserable for writers
whenever possible.. :-)
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
They actually have the same
feelings of 'my baby' about their magazine/anthology/book that we do as we
write it.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And they love it when one of
'their' writers, the one they gave a break to, gets big.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Every editor wants to discover
the next Stephen King. :-)
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
In nonfiction, every editor
wants the writer who can handle any topic with a single phone call, and
turn in a perfect ms before the deadline.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
What this means is...if you
write a powerful story, the editor could care less if you have ever sold or
have three arms and green skin.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Or if you can turn in that
perfectly slanted and clean article at the drop of a hat, that editor wants
you to write for the mag forever.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
There is absolutely nothing
wront with being a new and unpublished writer...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
except....
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
(You knew that was coming,
didn't you?)...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
your name will not sell one
issue of the magazine. Period.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Now this is where fiction and
nonfiction diverge, so I'll handle 'em separately.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Let's start with nonfic first.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Here, the writer's name rarely
sells the article.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
You read an article on Taos in
Sunset Magazine and you enjoy it...how many of you notice who write it?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
It's not your name recognition
that matters to the nonfic editor...it is your ability and reliability.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
So if you have no clips, Ms
Editor is taking a chance that the day after the article is due, when she
calls you in fury...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
you tell her, gee, you
couldn't get the interview you promised, so no article.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
But the article was mentioned
in last month's issue, and the space is already reserved in the layout, and
how she has 24 hours to find something to fill that space with befiore the
magazine goes to production..
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
and since the articles were
carefully chosen to compliment each other, she now has a jangling note that
doesn't fit, and she wants to KILL you.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
This is why nonfic editors are
wary of novice writers.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Now that does not mean that
you can't sell that perfect slant that perfect topic that interview that
nobody else can get. You certainly can and you can sell it to Time Magazine
if it's what they want.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
But say your article
ISN"T perfect, but is merely a good topic and slant.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
The editor looks at it. Well,
if she was sure you could deliver, yeah, she could use it in the November
issue.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
But you're unpublished, and
it's a big article and maybe she won't risk it.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
BUT..
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
if that article is formatted
professionally, your query is professional and clearly you know what you
are doing...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
she might just take a chance
if it's something that will make that issue really good.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If you're sloppy with your
typos, your formatting isn't professional, and your query letter is two
pages long...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
she figures you DON'T know
what you are doing and probably will mess up.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Nope. Can't take the chance.
Next query letter....
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
That is why you work very hard
at appearing professional.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
This is our After Hours Forum,
with me, Mary Rosenblum, your web editor. I've published seven novels and
more than 60 short stories and will do my best to answer any questions you
have. If you're new here, remember that you need to click on the 'Ask a Question'
button or the 'word bubble' next to the red question mark at the top of the
screen in order to ask a question. Your regular 'send' bar won't reach me!
Or you can use /ask and type your question into the regular send bar if
that works better for you..
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
we're talking about 'newbie'
mistakes tonight, and why you want to appear professional when you submit.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Okay, what about the fiction
editor?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Here, the story sells itself.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If the story knocks the
editor's socks off, he won't care if you've sent it in printed by a dot
matrix printer. (Well, he WILL care and tell you to buy a new printer with
the check, but he'll still take it).
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Yellow crayon won't make it,
but you can get away with just about any other no-no. :-)
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
But okay, this is NOT the
blockbuster story. It's a good story, the first paragraph hooks the editor
so he reads on.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
He likes it. He could publish
it. But you know, it's very similar to that other story on his desk right
now.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And that one is by a writer
who has sold one story to a no-pay small press magazine. Not very
impressive credentials, but he has sold something.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And you didn't say anything in
your cover letter about sales. Maybe you have, maybe not. But the margins
are only 1/2 inch, it's typed in an awful Gothic font, full of italic, and
the author clearly has no idea...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
what a manuscript is supposed
to look like. The title is in some fancy, loopy font, and just cleaning up
the formatting mistakes will take an hour right there.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
It is obvious that this person
either has not sold anything or is going to be so contentious and hard to
work with that it's not worth it. The other story is just as good.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Rejection.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
The inattention to
professional details tells the editor that this is an unpublished writer,
and since the similar story will at least have a little name recognition,
you lose out to that story.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And that is the 'why' of
acting professional.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
It doesn't matter if your
piece is perfect.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
But how often are our pieces
perfect?
|
|
rupbert
|
How many clips is enough to show
a national mag?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
One if it's to another
national magazine, rupbert. :-)
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If you have amassesd several
published clips, mention two or three from the largest circulation
magazines.
|
|
rupbert
|
What if they are from small
press mags or newspapers?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Any clip is fine. It tells the
editor that you wrote to slant and market, and that you turned your work in
on deadline.
|
|
patchworkcat
|
Mary, when you submit a story or
article for consideration do you use Times Roman font or Courier? How about
for the query or cover letter?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
You can use either, patch.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
I use Times myself. Many use
Courier.
|
|
frazz
|
Does all of this apply to
novels, too?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Yes and no, frazz.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
New names are actually GOOD in
novels!
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If a writer's sales are poor,
he/she will often be pressured by the publisher to take on a new pen name
and appear as a 'first time novelist'.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Now what IS an issue is
editing time.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Two similar books, with equal
potential.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
One is in a hard to read font.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
The margins are so narrow that
there isn't room for typesetting instructions...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
and it's in 1 1/2 space rather
than double, so the editing will be difficult for the typesetter to read.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
The other is very
professional. Both are new authors.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Want to guess whose novel gets
bought?
|
|
mary rosenblum

|
|
deb1234
|
Isn't it best to have magazine
clips before trying to sell a novel?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
No, deb. Yes, they CAN help.
If you had a short story that was a contender for a major award or even won
it, and you offer the novel that contains that story, it will help sell the
book.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
But book editors see magazine
readers as a different population from book readers.
|
|
wolf122
|
Or self-publishing
short-story/novel 1st?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Self publishing will not
impress an editor one bit.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
You can self publish excerpts
from the phone book. There is no indication of quality.
|
|
janp
|
The author who turnsin
professional work. He/She just happens to be a LR student or grad and was
taught that way from day one.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Which is why we teach you all,
but when you're looking at a huge stack of ms, you're not going to waste
time guessing who's really a pro and who just knows the format.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
BUT there are some things that
shout 'unpublished newbie' to an editor...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
and also suggest that you
don't know anything about submitting and publishing work.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And these you should avoid
like the plague!
|
|
gerryd429
|
What if it is an online
newsletter that is self-published?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Alas, Gerry, the only thing
that will impress an editor at all is if your self published work sold more
than say, 5000 copies.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
In fact...I hate to say
this...but proudly announcing that you self publislhed a book is one of
those 'I'm a newbie and I don't know how to do this' things.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Unless you can quote
substantial sales that the editor can confirm, just don't say anything.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
It simply reveals that you
don't know anything about the publishing business.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Now if your mystery has sold
even a couple of thousand copies through Amazon.com and the publisher's
website, DO mention that.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Those aren't great numbers,
but since readers are awash in self published books, they're not terrible.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
But if you have sold a couple
of hundred and you published four years ago, just don't say anything ! :-)
|
|
gerryd429
|
Ok, then what about all the
online articles that may or may not pay but have a large readership?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
No pay is not necessarily a
bad thing.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If you get a piece published
in 'Wired Magazine' for no pay, that is a well respected magazine and your
acceptance means you wrote a good piece.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
I would cite any publilshed
work that was accepted by an editor and not self published whether you got
paid...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
or not and whether it's a
tiny, teensy press or a big circulation magazine.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Editors don't know EVERY
magazine out there.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If your story was published in
Au Prentemps Literary Review...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
how will the editor know that
it has a circulation of 47 in a small cow town college?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
She probably won't bother to
go look it up...maybe...but that will be after she reads the story and
decides, in most cases.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Present yourself as a
publishing author.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Okay, here are some things you
should not do, because it makes editorial eyes roll and does NOT help your
case.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Do not announce, "this is
my first story ever' or anything like that!
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Do not say "I am a
writing student and have never published'.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Editor thinks, 'great, class
assignment...'
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Do not use colored paper,
fancy stationary, colored type..
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
fancy fonts, stickers, and so
forth on your letters.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
They should look like they
came from a lawyer's office, not like an invitation to a family reunion!
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Do not tell the fiction editor
all about your story...he'll read it for himself, thank you.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And never, ever, ever, ever
tell the editor why she simply cannot reject this story. And never EVER
tell her...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
that if she DOES reject the
story she is a ....[insert invective of choice here]
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And if you are giggling,
don't, because I have read actual examples of all of the above!
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Keep nonfiction query letters
to a single page.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Keep fiction cover letters to
a half page.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And do NOT please put your
social security number on the ms.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
It's not going to make the
editor's eyes roll, but it is very dangerous in this day and age of
identity theft.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
People who work in publishing
mail rooms are usually minimum wage people and they look at your ms.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
This is our After Hours Forum,
with me, Mary Rosenblum, your web editor. I've published seven novels and
more than 60 short stories and will do my best to answer any questions you

|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Format your manuscript
professionally.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Double space, always, Times
New Roman or Courier font, 12 point in size, NOT 10 point.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Use 20 lb bond
paper...something a little lighter in weight is okay, but don't use VERY
flimsy paper. It's hard to handle. The postage is a business expense.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Make sure the type is clear
and easy to read.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
It is FINE to make corrections
on the page. You don't need to reprint 300 pages for a couple of typos.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If you don't want the ms
returned, write 'disposable ms' clearly on the top of the first page.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
In the top right hand corner
of every page after the first page, you print your last name in lower
case/title keyword/page number.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
A page from my story 'Skin
Deep' would look like this:
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
rosenblum/skin/24
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
That's page 24.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
After the last line of your
story, center on a new line: [end]
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
That tells the editor you
really ARE done and she's not just missing page 34.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
To indicate a scene break,
center a * on a blank line.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
The asterisk won't show up in
the published text...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
but should the break occur on
the last line of the page, the editor will know it's a break.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And will also know that your
printer didn't hiccough and stick a blank line in by accident.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Those are the basics.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Many professional writers
don't mention their publications.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
So if you don't mention any,
it won't instantly tell the editor that you are unpublished.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And do mention any personal
experience that applies to what you are submitting, fiction or non.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If you are submitting a story
set in an ER, and you have been an ER doc for ten years...say so.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
That tells the editor that
your descriptions are accurate. :-)
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Remember that editors WANT to
discover good new writers...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
but you have to show them that
you have done your part and are not causing them extra and unnecessary
work.
|
|
elisabetam
|
all of this juicy info applies
to any submission, correct? Fict, non, magazine, novel??
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Yep, formatting is the same
for print publications, nearly always.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Now, DO read the submission
guidelines, especially for online submissions.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Often those are different. And
there is always an exception that proves the rule!
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If the guidelines don't say
anything specific about formatting, they expect the format I've described
above.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
But some ezines want single
space, or a particular font, and will often specify the file type.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Now for a novel.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
You include a title page.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Title page has your name,
address, phone number, email, or fax number in the upper left corner.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
The approximate word count
appears in the right.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
A word count, by the way, of
113,411 by the way, is another NEWBIE flag. :-) 113,000 is fine.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Same thing with 5432 words.
5400 is fine.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
For the novel title page,
center your title about 1/3 down the page,
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
you by line is centered one
space below that. Put your pen name here if you are using one.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Your REAL name must go in that
upper left corner. Unless your pen name can cash the check.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If you are using a pen name,
that's all you need. It's the By Tom Jones that tells the editor whose name
will appear on the book.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
The check may be going to
Genevieve Smith.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
No other explanation is
needed.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
You begin your novel on the
next page, and you number the whole book consecutively from page one to the
end.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Every page has that header in
the upper right corner: name/title/#
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Start a new chapter on a new
page.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
You can title every chapter or
just label them Chapter One, Chapter Two, and so forth.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Same thing for
fiction/nonfiction, although most nonfiction books of course will have
chapter headings.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
"FInding A House' instead
of Chapter One
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Making The Offer.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Approaching a Lender.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
That sort of thing...
|
|
arfelin

Is it necessary to indicate a
scene break?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Always, arfelin, or the reader
will read right through it and hit a wall when we go suddenly from downtown
Shanghai to London in a drizzle.

What if your book is broken into
sections?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
You would simply title each
section with the appropriate heading
|
|
info
|
Which is more common, chapters
with or without headings?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
In fiction, chapter are
usually numbered.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
But sometimes they are
titled...especially in books for kids.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
In nonfic, of course, the
sections have headers, which are listed in the index.

does this novel format go for
the first three chapters that most editors want in their submission
guidelines? do you estimate the word count of the finished novel in your
cover letter?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Yes! Those three chapters are
a test. If your format is poor, the editor assumes the rest of the book
will be, too.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And yes, you need to tell the
editor how long the book is.

Name in the upper right corner
is your real name or your pen name?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Pen name.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Your real name won't appear in
the book at all.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
The manuscript will be labeled
by staff using your pen name...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
the Freeman mystery, in my
case, for example.

Is your informaiton in the upper

by what, frazz?

Most of the magazines I've
encountered ask to put exact word count so in this case would it be ok to
use 5432?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Absolutely!
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
I'm giving you the 'default'
here.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Always do exactly what the
guidelines tell you to do. If they want the page number in the center
bottom of the page...put it there! :-)

If you've broken your book up
into titled sections, does thi
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Oh, I see. No, it doesn't
frazz..
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
the reason you do it that way,
is that when the editorial assistant drops the pile of pages on the floor
with three other novels...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
makes it a WHOLE lot easier to
sort.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And that really happened to an
editor friend of mine.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Two ms got dropped, and both
were numbered only...no name or title key.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Took an assistant all day to
sort 'em out page by page.
|

Using 3-hole punched paper and
binding the whole thing together with a shoestring is a no-no?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Correct, patch.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Pages are always loose, never
stapled, punched, and oh yes...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
the bound ms with the pretty
paper cover or plastic sheet cover is another "Reject me!' appeal. :-)
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
You can send your book length
ms in a box or a padded mailer.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If you want it back, include
return postage and a mailing label.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
They'll supply the padded
mailer or reuse your box.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Use rubber bands in a padded
mailer or it can get pretty battered.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
And send it so that you have a
tracking code: UPS or FedEx.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
You can use their cheap rates.

How is italics handled (like
dream sequence or thoughts)?
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Unless specified otherwise in
the guidelines, frazz, underline indicates italic.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Unless the guidelines tell you
it is okay to do so, do not use italic or bold face type.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
The typesetter doesn't know
what to do with it unless the editor makes a note in the margin. More work
for the editor and it's work she shouldn't have to be doing.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Lesseee...I think we've
covered just about everything here.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Names matter in fiction, but
not as much as a good story.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Ability matters in nonfiction.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Present your work
professionally and it tells the editor that you are serious about your
writing,
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
you have taken the time to
find out what the profession demands, and you have done it properly.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
That disposes the editor to
publish you if possible. :-)
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
BUT...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
LIsten up here...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Do not lie in bed and sweat
over whether you remembered to put that title header on the left or the
right.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
It's not a big deal.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
A formatting mistake alone
will not get you instantly rejected.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Many mistakes coupled with
mediocre writing will.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Many mistakes might cause the
editor to choose an equal piece with fewer mistakes.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
One or two small boo boos are
no big deal.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
But read those guidelines.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
If they tell you 'do this or
we will send it back' then DO it.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Or they WILL send it back.
|
|

|
There is a magazine, True
Romance, that states VERY clearly in its guidelines that ALL stories must
be in first person.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
I get a lot of third person
student romances that are intended for that magazine...
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
They won't tell you why they
rejected you...you'll just get a form.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
But do remember...one small
mistake isn't going to hurt you.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Editors WANT new writers, but
they do expect you to do your part.
|
|
mary rosenblum
|
Their job is to polish your
prose, not fix formatting errors you should not have made.
