EDITOR'S DESK For writers and artists at all levels of experience. Regularly updated, the Editorial area of our site offers advice and suggestions for submitting work. If you would like to be notified by email, when a new Editorial entry hits cyberspace, please add yourself to our monthly eannouncement Find out what we're looking for first!

It contains valuable information about our submission process and specifications. 2003 NEW VOICES AWARD From our Editors PUBLISHING SPANISH-LANGUAGE BOOKS IN THE U.S. By our Publisher/Editor-in-Chief THE VOICE THAT SPEAKS BEST By Elaine Marie Alphin You've plotted your story. You know your characters and their conflict. You know how your viewpoint character will grow by achieving a resolution. Now you face one last decision before you start writing. What voice are you going to use? THE VOICE AS BACKGROUND AND FOUNDATION By Jean E. Karl Recently a manuscript was sent to me that had a good story that was well worked out and told in a clear, straightforward way that made it easy to read and engaging. But the material will never find a publisher, at least not in its present form. Why? Because the voice-the language used to tell the story -is not consistent with the story and is not consistent in itself. ASK THE EDITORS From You to our Editors Have you ever wished you could ask an Editor some inside advice on how to get published? We went through all your questions and here are our responses.

62. Joint Venture Publishing With Beckham Publications Tough time getting published? Try joint venture publishing. Tolstoy, Whitman,Bronte, Poe and Crane battled to find publishers! You are in great company. http://www.beckhamhouse.com/jointventure.html

Large publishing houses - a tough nut to crack Joint venture publishing - the cutting-edge solution The Beckham Publications Group joint venture - a real difference What do we do? ... REQUEST FOR ESTIMATE Joint venture publishing HAVING A TOUGH TIME GETTING PUBLISHED? DON'T WORRY - YOU'RE IN GREAT COMPANY! Great company? Yes, in fact, exceptional company. Leo Tolstoy...Walt Whitman...Charlotte Bronte...Virginia Wolf.... Edgar Allen Poe and Stephan Crane are a few of the famous authors who had difficulty getting published in their early days. So they self-published. George Bernard Shaw financed the publication of his early plays to attract theatrical producers. Ernest Hemingway was privately published for a time until he gained fame for his collection, In Our Time. And Joseph Conrad self-published his first novel. LARGE BOOK PUBLISHING COMPANIES - TOUGH NUTS TO CRACK Let's face it, the large book publishing companies have such high overhead costs, they must sell at least 10,000 copies of a book to break even. That means that only writers who are established or well-known will break through...or those who have developed an idea that convinces the publisher she can sell thousands of copies. And if you have a perspective that is really new, provocative or controversial, you have even less of a chance finding a publisher.

Home Meet Michael Levin What His Clients Say What His Reviewers Say ... Author Services Ten Keys to Getting Published by Michael Levin 1. Show us something we’ve never seen before. All fiction is a blend of the familiar and the unexpected. Where can you take us that we’ve never been before? What in your background is different—and therefore fascinating—to the reader? Show us something new and we’ll reward you with unending attention. Usually that “something unexpected” is a different experience with something we already know a little about. For example, we’ve all known elderly relatives, and sometimes we’ve had the privilege of meaningful conversations with them. But in Tuesdays With Morrie , author Mitch Albom gave us a brand-new experience—we got to listen in on an extended conversation with a wise, older man. What’s your strength? What do you know more about than the rest of us? It might be something about love work play travel or a hobby. Tell us all about it take us somewhere we’ve never been before and your writing career will be richly applauded and rewarded. 2. Your first paragraph is everything. In today’s busy world, editors, agents, and readers standing in the aisles of bookstores pretty much make up their minds about a book in a single paragraph. There’s no more “taking some time to get the story started.” You’ve got to hook the reader immediately. How? With unanswered questions.

75. Getting Published But, if there was a magic formula to getting a story simply read the genre you wantto be published in of the magazine and read the fiction they are publishing. http://www.sff.net/people/justinvs/howtopub.html

Getting Published (Or how to turn a fortune worth of word processing equipment into a pile of worthless rejection slips.) All right. The Basics The three things every writer needs are... The Mechanics of Writing This is a biggie. It covers everything from spelling and sentence structure, to the proper submission format. (More about that later.) We all think we know how to tie words together, but all too often little mistakes creep in. Poor punctuation or unclear sentences automatically mark you as an amateur in an editor's eye. The solution? Proofread. Repeatedly. And that means more than just running spell-check. Check the piece once, rewrite, and check again. Then when its done, print it and read it aloud. If it doesn't roll trippingly off your tongue, it won't off an editors. Imagination We all have one. Every brain comes equipped. But a writer needs to develop their imagination, harnessing it to overlay the fantastic on top of the mundane. That's what writing is, the ability to conceive of situations that would not normally occur without our fevered minds to help them along. Keep journals. Watch people. Daydream. But above all else
