The Write Stuff
This blog is about writing. Not reporting or journalism, but creative writing -- poetry, short stories, novels. And not just about the finished product but how we, as writers go about the process, and the trials, tribulations, blood, sweat and tears that go along with it. I'll also talk about another process -- publishing. Finding the right literary agent or publisher, self-publishing, e-publishing, what are the options and what are the chances of breaking into print? That's about it. I am by no means a best selling novelist or have all the answers, but consider this the beginning of a dialogue among a group of people who put pen to paper (okay, finger to keyboard) to release something inside us, something that must be shared.

SASE
Another important thing to watch for when studying market listings is the acronym SASE. This stands for self-addressed stamped envelope Most agents and publishers require you to send one if you expect a reply from them and especially if you want any of your materials returned. Of course, if they really like your work an SASE won't stand in the way of a reply, but if their market listing says send one....send one...no matter how great you think your work is. Keep writing. www.SonnyLong.com 0 comments from 0 users
