Basic Resources: Selling What You Write

It’s Friday! I lost a day helping with the Gold Country Writers’ booth at the Gold Country Fair in Auburn, CA. All of my books are on sale there and I’ll be available to sign on Friday (today) and Saturday, 4-9 PM. My brochures on writing services are also there. The Fair runs through Sunday.

Today’s blog is about the basic resources for selling what you write. It’s not enough to have these resources on hand – you need to read the book(s) and magazine(s) first, then search in them and online with a specific project in mind, looking for markets that will be interested in that particular work.

Target your submissions for the best results.

A Writer’s Journey Part 3: Trying to be a Writer

Sorry this is late: as I went to post it, there was a muffled crash and the electricity went out. A car crashed into a nearby utility pole. According to people on the scene, no one was seriously injured, but our electricity is still out more than twelve hours later. Good time to work at the coffee shop!
