Paying Markets For Fiction And Poetry
(Moira Allen)
Writing-World.com?s Guide to Paying Markets for Fiction and Poetry ? More
Than 675 Publications That Pay for Your Work, by Moira Allen (book review)
Writing-World.com?s Guide to Paying Markets for Fiction and Poetry by Moira
Allen, is more than just a book of data for writer?s submissions. The author
includes only paying markets of periodicals (E-zines, magazines and a few
newspapers). The author created a highly valuable section entitled ?About this
Guide?, that explains what each section of details listed under the
publications means. She even goes as far as describing the various rights that
are often required by periodicals. I learned within the first 17 pages that I had
been addressing envelopes incorrectly for international shipping by placing
the country in mostly small caps beside the state or province. And what a
surprise that was for me - I had no idea there was a protocol for shipping
out-of-country! This important chapter also discusses common issues and
problems with email and online submissions. Moira?s discussion on literary
magazines was also very informative and interesting.
Listing markets for short stories, poetry, fiction, fantasy, horror, Christian,
adult and many other genres from romance to mystery ? this book is sure to
help authors market their books and freelance writers sell their articles.
Author Moira Allen, goes a step farther and sub-groups markets into smaller
categories, such as Children/Christian and Flash Fiction, to make the
selection easier for writers.
Reference books like these tend to be dry and boring to read, but Moira?s
book is written personably ? which is difficult to do when listing data. Each
listing has numerous helpful tips and information including what kind of
material the publication accepts submission for, what the publication?s pay
rate starts at, what rights are requested and contact information (including
emails and website URLs).
This book has definitely found a spot on my writer?s reference shelf in my
office!
