djtg0001_100sh.gif (4990 bytes) How to Break Into the Freelance Writing Business
by Dana Cassell

Freelance writing has the allure of making money from home AND receiving recognition via a byline. In fact, getting paid for working in jammies or jeans without stressful commuting and with the possibility
of fame has made freelancing arguably the most oft-tried job. And the most oft-discarded job. Because it takes more than writing talent to be successful.

It takes discipline. It takes tenacity. And it takes a business perspective along with the creative vision. Fortunately, if you have those qualities — plus the ability to communicate on paper — your prospects as a freelance writer have never been higher. Not only do the numbers of print magazines and books continue to grow, but the Internet and the proliferation of new businesses have opened up literally thousands upon thousands of new markets for freelancers.

The secret is to approach freelance writing as a business, and to get off to a good start by learning from the experiences of others. How to Break into the Freelance Writing Business will paint a realistic picture of what you can expect, share the experiences of currently successful freelancers, tell you what you need to know, offer insider tips on how to be successful, and provide a step-by-step plan to get you started today.

djtg0003_100.gif (4130 bytes) How to Get Started as a Romance Writer
by Joyce Lavene

Romance writing is not for the faint of heart. It requires dedication and planning. Unlike some ideas of stereotypical romance writers, today's romance writer is aware of industry trends and thinks of what she (or he) does as being a business and not an art form. While it may be easy to get caught up in the idea of talk shows and book signing parties, years of preparation and working day after day on the computer can precede a best-selling book. There's money to be made in this field but it's not easy. It requires commitment, flexibility, persistence, and a willingness to rewrite what you may consider the perfect novel. While the market continues to grow for romance writing, especially with the tremendous growth in electronic books, the market has always been good for talented writers who know how to follow the rules and their hearts!

How to Break Into Romance Writing will clue you in on those rules so you can get off to a positive start. You will also meet "real" romance authors who will share how they got started, divulge what their writing days are like, and offer insider tips to speed you on to success. Plus, you will have a 10-Step Game Plan to get you started today!

The Ultimate Writer's Reference
Any writer seeking publication, whether in book form, consumer or trade magazine articles, or TV and movie scripts, should have the 2001 Writer's Market on his or her bookshelf. Newly updated, this latest edition is bigger and better than ever with more market entries than ever before and a user-friendly format and style. Combine that with extensive insider and industry information and comprehensive indexes, and you have an indispensable resource for writers. But this gem offers much more, including inspiration, practical advice, how-tos, and insider hints. Interviews with bestselling authors, advice from book and magazine editors, a clinic on writing query letters, and a review of what's hot and what's not in the current market make this book one of the wisest investments any writer could possibly make.

A typical entry includes contact names, pay rates, phone and fax numbers, email addresses, average response times, and guidelines on what to send and who to send it to. Symbols used as headers indicate markets that are new to this edition, those that accept only agented submissions, those that are freelance-friendly and those that are not. Cable TV and online markets are also noted, and for those seeking a certain level of pay, symbols that categorize pay ranges can make searching faster and easier. With over 8,000 editorial and industry contacts, the

2001 Writer's Market is clearly one of the most valuable tools any writer could have and the closest thing to knowing someone on the inside.

There are listings for consumer and trade magazines, for literary agents, for book publishers and book producers, small press publishers, and syndicates. The greeting card market is also included, as is information on various contests. The resource section includes online sites, various organizations, and a glossary of industry terms. The advice section provides interviews with bestselling authors as well as articles and information from those who have found their first publishing success. And for those who are a bit more experienced, a section detailing the business aspects of writing covers everything from what rights a writer can sell to handling finances and taxes. Given the incredible amount of information included in this annually updated reference, it's easy to see why more than four million copies have sold. And it's hard to imagine any writer who is serious about publication not having one.
