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.

Writer Beware
I spent several hours this weekend researching agent listings and was reminded of one of the golden rules every writer should know. If an agent charges a fee to read your material...move on! Agents make money on commissions when they sell your book to a publisher, not on reading fees. Writers should never ever never pay to have their manuscript read...period. This is http://anotherealm.com/pred... my favorite site for checking out agents. It's an awesome resource. There are others, too, including www.agentquery.com. Check them out if you are serious about finding an agent. Keep writing! 0 comments from 0 users
