HOW TO START YOUR OWN WRITERS' GROUP
----------------------------------------------------------------
by The 6' Ferret Writers' Group
<FerretGrp@aol.com>
All you really need to start your writers' group are other
writers and someplace to meet with them. Here are some ideas:
If you know any writers, ask them if they would like to form a
writers' group. If you don't know any other writers, try visiting
a local college campus (evening writing classes draw writers of
all ages and abilities). Another good place to meet writers is at
writers' conferences, listings of which can be found in writing
magazines, such as The Writer and Writers' Digest (you can also
find listings of conferences through some of the links on our web
site). Try to keep the group small. More than 5 or 6 writers may
limit the ability of the group to critique one another's work.
Once you've gathered some writers together, hold an initial
meeting. You'll need to make the following decisions:
1) How often you will meet, what time, where, and for how long.
(Our group meets every other Monday night at 7:00 p.m. at
members' homes or at coffee bars, for approximately 2 hours.)
2) How much material each author can submit for critique at each
meeting. (10 pages per person per meeting is a good place to
start. If you have more than four members, you may wish to divide
the group in half, with one half submitting material one week,
and the other half submitting the following week.)
3) Whether the group prefers to read the work to be critiqued at
home and bring comments to the meeting, or whether the authors
are to read their work aloud at the meeting and invite comment.
(We bring our work to the meetings and read it out loud--we've
found this to be helpful to the authors.)
4) What kind of writing you wish to include in your group. (The
6' Ferret Writers' Group, for example, is for fiction writers.
Some groups are for poetry only, while others do not set any
limits to what kind of writing is included.)
5) Any rules of conduct you may wish to have, including choosing
a leader or mediator.
6) Whether or not you wish write by-laws for your group. Written
by-laws clearly establish the group's expectations of new
members, and this can come in handy as your group grows. You may
wish to view the By-Laws of The 6' Ferret Writers' Group for some
ideas; our By-Laws are available for viewing on our web site.
7) Whether or not you wish to have each member report in on what
they've accomplished since the last meeting, and, if so, assign
someone the task of writing this down.
Remember to be fair and honest when critiquing one another's
work. The purpose of the group is to provide honest thoughts on
members' work, but don't forget that writers' egos are fragile.
Be sure to point out the parts that work well, not only the parts
that don't.
That's all you need to get started! Over time, your group will
evolve, provided you have a core group of dedicated members to
keep it alive.
==-------------------------------------------==
The 6' Ferret Writers' Group members are: Dawn Rosner, Stirling
Davenport, Ann Quick, Judy Sheffield, John de Luce, and Peter
Steele. The site contains useful writing-related information,
especially for those planning or already involved in writers'
groups.

TO WORKSHOP OR NOT TO WORKSHOP?
----------------------------------------------------------------
by Mary Soon Lee
I joined a workshop almost as soon as I started writing short
stories, and have found them very helpful. But workshops are not
for everyone, and nor are all workshops equal. To start with the
positive aspects of workshops....
Workshops provide much-needed feedback on your stories. Not every
comment will be helpful to you, but the critiquing should allow
you to see your prose more objectively. You can also learn a
great deal from critiquing other people's stories.
Writing is a lonely pursuit; workshops provide contact with other
people (often very friendly people!) who are struggling with the
same problems. You can exchange market news, magazine response
times, discuss the pros and cons of cover letters...
Workshops encourage productivity. At least, this is true for me.
When I would otherwise be tempted to take a day off, I often
write a story to meet the next workshop deadline.
And some of the negative aspects....
"The other writers will steal my ideas." If this worries you,
then you definitely shouldn't be in a workshop. If you get a
dozen writers to write a story based on the same idea, you will
typically get a dozen very, very different stories. Some ideas
*are* better than others, but almost all of them have been used
before anyway. The trick is to learn how to take a good idea and
turn it into a good story--learn how to craft your prose, how to
create three-dimensional characters, how to evoke a scene in a
couple of phrases. A workshop should be a stimulating environment
where ideas meet and mutate in a thousand interesting ways.
Negative critiques hurt. There is a difference between
constructive criticism and viciousness, and the latter is
inappropriate. But even constructive criticism can hurt,
especially if in some dark corner of your mind you know that the
critiquer is correct. Remember that rejections hurt too! If you
can learn to grin and bear it while your work is critiqued, then
you will be able to improve your stories before they reach an
editor's desk. If you find it tough to receive critiques then I
recommend only taking in completed stories. I have seen several
people abandon novels part-way through because of negative
feedback. It is much easier to revise a completed manuscript than
it is to continue one once you are discouraged.
==---------------------------------------------==
Mary Soon Lee has had many sf/fantasy short stories published in
various magazines including The Magazine of Fantasy and Science
Fiction, Interzone, and Mind's Eye Fiction. She has a short story
called "Silent in the Cities" in the current issue (#51-52) of
Aboriginal Science Fiction, and her story "Universal Grammar" is
due out in the April 97 issue of F&SF.; She runs a local sf/f/h
workshop called Pittsburgh Worldwrights. Her website is a
valuable resource for writers, especially those interested in
speculative fiction.

ASK THE CHILDREN'S BOOK AUTHOR
----------------------------------------------------------------
by Lee Wardlaw
<Katknip2@aol.com>
Should I copyright my work?
---------------------------
Q: Is there any point in copyrighting your work before submitting
it? Or is that something done once an agent has accepted your
work?
A: According to the 1978 copyright law, your work is
automatically copyrighted as soon as it "exists in tangible form"
- - so there is no need for you to register it. Once your work
has been published, the publisher will register it for you at the
Copyright Office at the Library of Congress.
Editor response time
--------------------
Q: How long does it take to hear back from an editor regarding a
children's book? The book in question was submitted by an agent.
A: This is a hard question to answer, as it depends on the
publisher, the editor, the manuscript and the agent!
If you've got a top New York agent, the ms. will probably be read
fairly fast because of his/her good reputation. The word "fast,"
however, is relative.
If the editor doesn't like the book, you might get a rejection
sometimes as fast as a week or as long as six months (often
longer!).
If the editor _likes_ the book, it will be read by several other
editors at the house, and approved for purchase at an editorial
meeting. Your editor will then present the manuscript at the
next sales and marketing meeting. These committee members have
the final say, and must vote in favor of the manuscript's
purchase before a contract is offered.
If the manuscript is a picture book, sometimes the editor will
try to secure an illustrator before offering a contract, which
again takes time (sometimes months or years).
The editors at Boyds Mills Press guarantee they will give you at
least a preliminary answer within 30 days of receipt of the
manuscript. Other publishers take three months, six months,
sometimes 18 months (!) before making a decision. If your agent
is a good one, however, he/she will write a follow-up letter to
the publisher after two months have gone by, and will make a
follow-up phone call after the three-month marker. Often, if the
publisher hasn't made a decision within three-to-six months, your
agent will start submitting the manuscript elsewhere, letting the
original publisher know that the book is no longer an exclusive
submission.
For those of you who do not have an agent, it is perfectly proper
for you to write to the editor after three months have passed
since submitting your manuscript, requesting information on the
status of your book. (Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope
for a reply.) If another month passes without a response, you're
free to submit your manuscript elsewhere - - just make sure you
let the first publisher know the manuscript is now a simultaneous
submission.

ASK THE ELECTRONIC PUBLISHER
----------------------------------------------------------------
by Ken Jenks
<MindsEye@tale.com>
Volunteer Writers Wanted Online
-------------------------------
Q: I've been invited to submit a few stories and poems to an
on-line webzine. They offer to give me exposure, but there's no
payment. What do you think?
A: There are quite a few electronic publications available today
on the Web, on mailing lists, on Usenet newsgroups and some
"books on disk." Only a few of them pay the author for stories.
Many of the non-paying markets offer "exposure" and "acceptance"
for your work. I recommend that you think long and hard before
giving the fruits of your labors to these places.
"Exposure" for electronic publication is not very valuable. The
people whom you want to influence -- editors, publishers, book
buyers -- aren't on-line in a big way yet. There's no evidence
that sales in "dead tree" publishing have been influenced by
"light and lightning" publishing. I've been doing this since
1995, and I haven't heard of anybody making a sale of fiction in
a print publication because of something someone read on-line.
"Acceptance" means less at Web-based publishers than at "dead
tree" pubs. It costs much less for an on-line editor to take a
chance on an iffy manuscript, and the standards of fiction on the
Web are just dreadful, so almost anything can seem attractive.
And you'll be known by the company you keep. Listing electronic
publications on your c.v. will only impress the reader if the
electronic publication has a reputation for being very picky
about accepting stories.
There are some advantages to non-paying "markets", especially if
you can get a good, solid critique of a story that just isn't
selling in print. You could publish your short stories for free
on the Web as advertisements for your novels, under the theory
that anybody who enjoys your short story work is likely to enjoy
your longer work. But the advantages must be weighed against your
future earnings. After all, when your novel wins the Pulitzer,
you may regret giving away your earlier, less polished work. It
may be worth a fortune some day.
