MARCIA YUDKIN:
Following up a query to an editor,
Negotiating payment for an article
Congratulations to Mark Heath <noforhed@ncia.net> from New
Hampshire,
who was the 5000th subscriber to Inklings! Mark is a freelance
cartoonist whose work has appeared in Writer's Digest and genre
publications such as The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
He is
also a contributing editor to The Artist's Magazine and is
currently
working on a how-to book (cartooning for beginners) for North
Light
Books as part of their First Step series. In addition, Mark edits
and
publishes a small newsletter called Encouraging Rejection, which
features "interviews and profiles of cartoonists/illustrators who
demonstrate how they deal and triumph over the inevitable
rejection
encountered by all creative people." Mark will choose and receive
a
writing-related book as a prize.
Thanks to to Lizann Flatt for mention in her article in The
Institute
Newsline, newsletter of The Institute of Children's Literature.

FRESH INK HIGHLIGHT:
Paradigm Online Writing Assistant
---------------------------------
A wealth of free useful writing information in the format of an
online
writer's handbook. Topics include: essay-writing, revising,
editing,
other writing-related subjects. Created by Chuck Guilford, a
professor
of English at Boise State University. Will be used by hundreds of
Washington teachers for training as part of a WEDNET grant. Chuck
originally created the site in hopes it would be useful to
students,
teachers, and writers. "Besides that, I'm intrigued with
hypertext as
a medium for writing. HTML and the web allow us to imagine and
create
entirely new scenes of discourse--new ways of shaping the reading
and
writing context. So it's exciting to be part of this, as Inkspot
and
Inklings are. When I get time, I want to expand Paradigm to
include
discussion and workshop areas so that it will be more interactive
and
users will be able to help shape its growth." More info available
from
Chuck at <chuck@spaceland.org>.

The Best of Soft SF Contest
---------------------------
Sponsored Annually by the Soft SF Writer's Association, Lela E.
Buis,
Director,1277 Joan Drive, Merritt Island FL 32952. Open to all
writers, enter as many manuscripts as you wish. The entry must
have
been published or offered for sale within the year the contest is
entered. If the story has been published, include this
information so
it can be listed with any announcement of winners. Contest opens
October 1 and closes December 15. No entry fee. Current awards
are:
1st: $100, 2nd $50, 3rd: $25. Judging Criteria: "Emotional
impact,
artistic style, cleverness, originality, characterization, theme
weight, imagery, sensuality. Stories which contain shocking or
disturbing elements are unlikely to win. This is not the type of
emotional impact we're looking for." Send a disposable manuscript
in
standard format, 7000 words or less, with your name and address
securely attached. "Soft SF is different from hard in that
characters,
emotional content and artistic effect are emphasized rather than
plot
and deterministic science. Although adult issues are encouraged,
gratuitous violence and graphic sex should be kept to a
reasonable
minimum. Mixed-genre stories are acceptable (fantasy/SF,
mystery/SF,
crime/SF) as long as elements of science fiction are
included--that is
some projection of trends, facts or technology in a scientific
way.
Social, behavioral, natural or hard science are all acceptable as
a
basis; and past, present, future or alternate universe are all
fine as
a setting."

EASY EXERCISES THAT YOU CAN DO AT YOUR DESK
-----------------------------------------------------------------
----
by Sandy Lindsey
<selectfl@ix.netcom.com>
[Note from Editor: As with any exercise, if you have a medical
condition, haven't exercised at all in a long while, or have any
concerns whatsoever about the exercises discussed, it is best to
check
with your doctor before adding them to your routine.]
Writers have long been susceptible to lower backache
pain, stiff
necks and cramped hands associated with sitting in one place for
large
periods of time typing on a keyboard. Happily, there is something
you
can do to lessen these disorders.
First, avoid the urge to slouch. Sitting tall, however,
does not
just mean sitting upright. Ideally, the sitter's weight should be
distributed evenly between the hips and feet. A small foot rest,
about 6" in height so that your knees are 1/2" to 1" above your
hips,
will further reduce possible back strain.
Adjustable height seats help by allowing you to position
yourself
correctly. If your seat is too low, you will find yourself
awkwardly
reaching upwards. If your seat is too high, it increases the
tendency
to slouch, which throws the neck, back and hips out of proper
alignment. A firm but comfortable cushioning is the safest
choice,
with a curvature that fits your body and offers sufficient lower
back
support.
Crossing one's legs at the knee will also pull the body
out of it's
natural alignments. Crossing the legs at the ankle or resting
one
ankle on the opposite knee, however, is an efficient way to
stretch
out otherwise restricted muscles, but like any position,
shouldn't be
held for any excessive length of time. Take a short break every
half
hour, even if it's just to stand up and stretch.
Sitting isn't the only thing that most writer's don't do
properly.
Do you stand tall with your head held high (but not unnaturally
so),
shoulders back and spine straight? Or do you slouch? Poor
posture,
i.e.slumped shoulders and a curved spine, inhibits proper organ
functions and can lead to weight gain. So imagine that you are a
puppet and that all your weight is held upright from a string at
the
top of your head. No longer is gravity pulling you down.Instead,
your
head is held high with the chin forward. Your arms and shoulders
are
completely relaxed. Your legs now swing from the hips, rather
than
from the knees. You'll not only feel better, but this new posture
will
send out a more positive message about you.
The first exercise is to take a momentary break and stand
up tall.
Lift your arms high and clasp your hands directly over your head.
Bend
to the right and stretch out the muscles on your left side, then
shift
to the left and repeat on that side. You'll feel re-energized
when
you're done.
Exercises you can do while sitting
----------------------------------
To relieve hand cramps, stretch your arms over your head, fingers
outstretched. Slowly draw your fingers in towards your palm.
When
your hand is fully closed, fling it open, then press your hands
hard
together and bring them down until they're in front of your nose.
Release.
While sitting, clench your right buttock. Hold for five seconds,
then
clench the left buttock. Next, clench both buttocks at the same
time.
This can be done several times a day and helps prevent
"secretarial
spread."
Lift your feet slightly and slowly rotate your ankles clockwise,
then
counterclockwise.
Sit up tall and arch your back slightly away from your backrest.
Roll
your shoulders forward and back, in unison and then separately.
Lower your chin to your chest (or as far as you can comfortably).
Tilt
to the right then left, slowly.
Tilt your head as far back as you can comfortably, allowing your
jaw
to remain slack and your mouth to open as you stretch.
While sitting up tall, pull in your stomach muscles and hold
tightly
for a count of ten.
With palms resting flat on the desktop, slowly lift one leg out
straight and hold for five seconds.
Lower, then press that foot into the ground hard for five
seconds.
Repeat with the other leg.
If there is no risk of your chair tipping over with you in it,
kick
off your shoes and lean back in the chair. Stretch your arms
above
your head and extend your legs out, toes pointed for a modified
full
body stretch.
For achy legs, lift your right knee to your chest and grasp it in
both
hands. Draw it as close to your chest as you can comfortably.
Take a
deep breath, exhale and lower the leg. Repeat with the left leg.
Don't rush this exercise, as it's success lies in doing it
slowly.
For upper body aches, stand with your feet spaced shoulder-width
apart, cross your arms in front of you and grasp your elbows with
the
opposite hands. Slowly raise your crossed arms until they are
over
your head or until you begin to feel any pain or resistance.
Then
slowly lower back to original position. Repeat four more times.
A good middle body exercise is to stand with your feet two feet
apart
and stretch your hands straight out at your sides. Twist so that
one
hand is now facing forward and the other back, reverse. Lower
your
right arm towards your right knee, allowing your left hand to
lift
behind you, until you feel tension. Reverse. Repeat five times,
then
lean forward and allow your hands to hang limply just above the
floor.
Hold for ten seconds.
Exercising after work
---------------------
After-hours exercise also helps. If you don't want to
join a
health club, why not buy a rowing machine or stationery bicycle,
both
will help strengthen your back and abdominal muscles. Swimming,
jogging, running and even brisk walking (while standing tall) a
few
evenings a week will go a long way towards your overall health.
If at the end of a day you still feel a bit achy, get a
rocking
chair. The rocking motion soothes an aching back, revitalizes
lower
leg muscles, and increases blood circulation to the feet.

ASK THE BOOK DOCTOR

<UBKX12C@Prodigy.com>
Recycling ideas
---------------
Can you provide some suggestions for writing on the same topic
for
different publications? I have been a computer columnist at a
newspaper and am thinking about doing some freelance work. I am
naturally drawn to some topics which can be explored again from
different angles, or more fully than space permitted at the time.
What, if anything, can I use from previously published columns?
A.
Do you still own the rights to your columns? Probably. Most
authors
keep as many rights to their own work as they can. As the owner
of a
work, you have the right to decide who gets to print your work,
when,
where and how many times it gets printed. A magazine usually only
buys the first rights to publication and the author keeps all
other
rights, including the right to reprint the articles or columns as
he
or she wishes. But in your case, the newspaper might own all
rights
to your columns. If that's the case, or you're not really sure,
the
best thing to do is simply re-work the articles. By the tone of
your
question it sounds like that's what you want to do anyway. Just
make
a few changes here and there and resell them to other
publications.
Actually, you're on to something. Recycling is a great way to
keep
your skills up and earn a little extra cash along the way. Keep
up
the good work.

ASK THE CHILDREN'S BOOK AUTHOR

----
by Lee Wardlaw
<Katknip2@aol.com>
Resubmitting a rejected story
-----------------------------
Is it appropriate to revise a story and resubmit it to a
children's
publication or publisher that has already rejected the earlier
version?
A: If a specific editor has rejected your manuscript and has
*not*
requested a chance to see a revised version, then it's best not
to
resubmit the story. Later, however, if you see that there is a
new
editor in charge, it's certainly acceptable to send the revised
manuscript. Different editors have different tastes, and they
often
set the tone and style of books or stories published. What one
editor
rejected last year, another editor may love and buy the next.
==-----------------------------------------------------==
Lee Wardlaw is the award-winning author of 15 books for children,
ranging from picture books to young adult novels. Her two most
recent
titles are 101 WAYS TO BUG YOUR PARENTS (middle grade, Dial) and
THE
GHOUL BROTHERS (first chapter book, Troll). PUNIA AND THE KING
OF
SHARKS (picture book, Dial) will be published in January 1997.

ASK THE FREELANCE WRITER
-----------------------------------------------------------------
----
by Marcia
Yudkin
Following up a query to an editor
---------------------------------
Should a follow-up "reminder" be sent to a magazine editor when a
query has not been responded to in eight weeks, in the same
manner
that a follow-up is sent to a book editor when a manuscript has
not
been responded to in that length of time? Or should I just assume
the
editor's not interested in my idea?
A: Many times when I have followed up after 8-10 weeks of
editorial
silence, I've learned that the editor I wrote to left the
magazine,
and those left behind had no idea what had happened to my query.
There's no harm in calling or writing to inquire about the status
of
your query as long as you're polite. I don't like calling it a
"reminder" because to me that sounds a little too peremptory and
demanding. But yes, do follow up when you haven't heard back
after
8-10 weeks.
Negotiating payment for an article
----------------------------------
How much room is there for negotiating payment for an article?
Will
an editor consider you ungrateful if they make you an offer and
you
ask if they can go higher?
A: Usually if you behave in a businesslike way, editors behave in
a
businesslike, unemotional manner in return. Negotiation is a
basic
business tactic that writers should have in their toolkit.
Instead of
just asking for more money, however, I always try to think up a
*reason* they should pay me more. For instance: "This article is
going to require at least seven hours of library research. Could
you
add $200 to the fee to reflect that effort?" Or: "My last two
articles for you didn't require any editing, so could you tack on
another couple hundred dollars to the fee this time?"
