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.

Submission guidelines

I got a comment on my last blog that we all need to make sure to follow the listed submission guidelines in a market listing for a potential agent or publisher for our work. I can't emphasize this enough!

I know it may seem silly to us whether our name is on the left side or the right side of a page, or whether the type is 10 point or 12 point, or whatever, but these folks are professionals and they have these guidelines for a reason. Follow them!

Keep writing.
