Anthology: Noirotica 3
----------------------
Thomas Roche, P.O. Box 410686, San Francisco CA 94141-0686.
Currently reading for a third anthology of erotic crime-noir
stories to be published by Masquerade Books. Stories should be
between 2,000 and 5,000 words (please query first for longer or
shorter works) and should explore the erotic (ie, sexual)
mystique of the crime/noir/detective genre. "By 'noir' I do not
just mean stories involving a crime. I mean specifically 1) the
type of crime fiction currently being reprinted by the Black
Lizard imprint, or by the pulp presses and magazines of the 50s
and 60s, and 2) the film genre ("film noir") which has similar
themes and sensibilities. A meager few recent examples of films
with related but modernized themes include Hard Boiled, Pulp
Fiction, and Deep Cover. The classics include The Maltese Falcon
and The Big Sleep (and about a zillion others). Additionally,
stories must include some form of eroticism. Ideally the
eroticism would grow from the danger and intrigue of the crime
plot, or at least from the scenery of noir." PAYMENT: $50 flat
per story. This payment covers publication of the story ONLY IN
THIS ANTHOLOGY in the US and UK; any money from subsequent sales
of the anthology -- meaning translations, book club editions, etc
-- will be split between the authors and the editor, based on the
number of stories in the book. "Please, no real people as
characters, and everybody in a sexual situation needs to be 18+.
Please don't include rape as part of the eroticism unless you
have some really good point to make that can't be made some other
way." Send stories in hard copy only, double spaced, with SASE,
by September 1, 1997. Please include SASE and short bio. (Source:

Futurist
--------
Geoffrey Dale, The Editor, Futurist, P.O. Box 197, Ferntree
Gully, Victoria, 3156, Australia. Australian science fiction
magazine. "We are a small concern, interested in supporting both
science fiction, and science fiction writers. Futurist is
primarily a saddle stapled, A5 printed magazine, in a full colour
cover, with around 80 black and white pages filled with science
fiction short stories, both new and classics from the turn of the
Century, as well as articles, cartoons, quotes, etc. We have a
web page up an running , it contains at least one full story, and
article, and details on most other things. It is currently
marketed in some specialist bookshops in Australia, and is
available by subscription, but I am hoping to expand the areas in
which it can be found." Writers advised to read back issues
before submitting. "We are looking for science fiction short
stories of 1000 to 5000 words, though longer stories may be
considered if they can be serialised. The stories should be what
can be described as "hard science fiction" (ie.no fantasy)
Dealing with how and where mankind will be in a few generation,
or centuries, from today. They should describe how changes to
technology or sociology will affect us. We are also looking for
Articles relating to the developments in our present technology
that will affect our future, along with articles of a speculative
nature on how our technology will develop, and also on what
sociological changes may affect us as a result. Photographs or
illustrations (original) relating to the articles or that can be
used for covers will also be considered Payment is $10 per
thousand words. Artwork prices vary according to use." (Info

ASK THE ROMANCE WRITER with guest columnist Diana Fox
----------------------------------------------------------------
by Judith Bowen
<jbowen@max-net.com>
Q: Are there any markets for romance short fiction?
---------------------------------------------------
A: (Note from Judith Bowen: There sure are! I'm going to let
author Diana Fox answer this one for me. Diana has had lots of
experience with newspaper columns, magazine articles and short
stories. She's also published three romance novels, with her
fourth coming out soon.)
There is a big market for romance short stories if you're willing
to write specifically for *a* particular publisher. This means
studying the romance stories they publish.
Diana can be e-mailed at dfox@mail.grady.public.lib.ga.us
Her webpage is: http://members.tripod.com/~Scriptese/
A few sample magazines:
WOMAN'S WORLD magazine, The Woman's Weekly, 270 Sylvan Avenue,
Englewood Cliggs, NJ 07632, Brooke Comer, Editor. 1800 words,
$1000 pay, found at check-out stands everywhere.
STAR Magazine, 660 White Plains Road, Tarrytown, NY 10591.
1,200 words, $100-400. Sold at check-out displays.
MINI ROMANCES, a new magazine wanting 1,500-2,500 word romances.
For more information write MiniRomanc@aol.com
Other magazines are: FAMILY CIRLCE, WOMAN'S WEEKLY, GOOD
HOUSEKEEPING, REDBOOK. Don't forget confession magazines: TRUE
EXPERIENCE, MODERN ROMANCES, INTIMACY/BLACK ROMANCE, SECRETS,
TRUE CONFESSION, TRUE LOVE, TRUE ROMANCE, TRUE STORY. It's
important to analyze confession magazines carefully; each has its
own style, type heroine, etc. The story titles and front page
headlines are *very* deceiving as to their content. These are
romances with a lesson.
The list of foreign markets for romance fiction is too long to
publish here. To learn more, contact WRITER'S DIGEST (513-
531-222 or e-mail at "writersdig@aol.com) and ask about their
International Writer's Market.
In the back of each issue of THE WRITER (magazine), is a list of
"This Month's Special Market Lists." March="Little, Literary and
College Magazines"; May="Confession and Romance" and "Inflight"
magazines that carry fiction; June="Women's" magazines;
October=General-Interest magazines.
Look at your story setting and character career. If you have a
rural setting, look for farm magazines for example. Search the
current WRITER'S MARKET for these eclectic magazines.
There are many more romance short story markets. With detective
work at the library or online, and your favorite book store, you
can uncover many romance markets.

ASK THE CHILDREN'S BOOK AUTHOR
----------------------------------------------------------------
by Lee Wardlaw
<Katknip2@aol.com>
Book packagers
--------------
Q: I have a question about book packagers. I know they
used to be kind of a fly-by-night part of the industry, but that
in the past decade or so they've gotten quite respectable. Is it
possible for an author to approach a packager directly? Would
that be beneficial, or is a packager just another middleman?
A: Here's how most packagers work: They come up with an idea for
a series, or a line of single title books, and sell the idea to a
publisher. It is then the packager's job to put out a call for
manuscripts or authors. The packagers take care of all the
contract details, edit and copyedit the manuscripts, then turn
everything over to the publishing house for final publication,
distribution, marketing, etc.
There are two advantages, in my opinion, to dealing with
packagers: They are almost always looking for writers to work on
new or existing series (such as Goosebumps, Barf-o-rama, Sweet
Valley Twins, Hardy Boys, etc.), and they are often very open to
working with unpublished authors. This is great, especially if
you're hoping to tuck a few book credits under your belt.
The disadvantages, however, are many: Some packagers offer flat
fees with no royalties; those who pay royalties often take a
substantial cut (standard royalty for a paperback novel is 6-8%;
packagers offer 1-3% and keep the rest for themselves); the
copyright is almost always in the name of the packager, not the
author (although sometimes you can arrange to share the
copyright); authors who write for exisiting series are often not
allowed to have their names on the book jacket; some packagers
heavily edit the author's work; deadlines, especially for series
books, are very short (you may only have six weeks to write a
200-page novel).
I've talked with several authors who've worked with packagers.
Some have loved the experience - - others would never work with
them again. It probably depends on the packager, the series or
line of books you're writing for, and what you want to gain from
the experience.
Alliteration in children's books
--------------------------------
Q: I have heard that alliteration in children's book titles or
in the text is a real faux pas in the publishing world. What is
your take on this?
A: Picky publishers plainly prefer to pass on or prohibit
painfully perky parables - - meaning, they are wary of
alliterative manuscripts because the stories are usually cutesy,
forced, and/or mediocre. Deborah Shine, editor at Checkerboard
Press, says: "So much of what I receive is boring. I get a
million manuscripts about Archie Armadillo, Bobby Bear, or
Charlie the Cat. If a text [or title] starts out that way, I
don't read beyond the first paragraph. If all an author can think
of is alliteration . . . he should think again. It indicates
something lacking in the imagination." Enough said!

ASK THE FREELANCE WRITER
----------------------------------------------------------------
by Marcia Yudkin
<yudkin@inkspot.com>
Filing taxes for freelance work
-------------------------------
Q: How do you file taxes for freelance work? For example, I
earned income from two freelance projects (video scripts), one
paid from NJ, the other from a company in NY. Do I have to file
taxes for both states? In general, if freelancers earn income
from different states (like a magazine in Iowa, one in Montana)
do they have to file a state return for each state?
A: Although I am not an accountant or a lawyer, my understanding
from more than 16 years of receiving checks from dozens of states
is that freelance writers do not need to worry about filing state
tax returns in the states from which they earn their freelance
income. You do have to declare this income for your own federal
and state tax income returns, generally by filing a so-called
"Schedule C." Most guidebooks on federal income taxes explain
how to file a Schedule C for your business -- taxwise your
writing is a small business so long as you pursue writing in a
businesslike manner.
Getting payment for a magazine article
--------------------------------------
I wrote an article for a magazine which appeared in this month's
issue (my first sale!) Unfortunately, I have not yet received my
payment. Their writer's guidelines don't state when payment will
be made, so I am assuming it is on publication. How do I
politely ask for my money? Also, is it common practise for them
to include a complimentary copy of the magazine?
A: Politeness isn't the issue. Assuming that you know how much
they should be paying you, simply mail an invoice to the editor
who purchased your article, detailing the name of the article,
the issue in which it appeared, the amount due, the address to
which payment should be sent and your Social Security or tax ID
number. Often that does the trick. If that still doesn't work,
wait three weeks and follow up with a phone call to the editor.
If you'd like a copy of the magazine, and it's not readily
available elsewhere, just write or call the editor or editorial
department for one. Almost always they'll send one along. And
congratulations on your first sale!

CLEAR WRITING - EASIER THAN YOU THINK
----------------------------------------------------------------
by Stefanie Spikell
<Steftekrtr@aol.com>
Public Relations writers have to have a lot of "sell" in them.
When writing for a business - or even when trying to sell your
own service - it is sometimes hard to know how to write a good
brochure or a good ad for the yellow pages. It's really much
easier than you might think.
If you follow the KISS philosophy - Keep It Simply Simple - then
your public relations writing will improve one hundred-fold.
The KISS philosophy means that the fewer words you use, the
better. So many of us write so much more than necessary.
Try this: State the point in one sentence. Repeat it a
different way in a second sentence. Then tell your readers what
you told them. Here are two examples:
"XYZ writing service provides top-notch business writing. XYZ
guarantees clearly-written, readable materials targeted to the
specified audience. XYZ gives you the best service for the
audience you want to reach."
"Our product XYZ gives you quick relief from QRS. XYZ relieves
QRS in two ways - through BBB and CCC. XYZ is the best product
to relieve all your QRS problems."
It's really as simple as that. Try it...Pick your subject, state
your point, repeat your point, tell the readers what you told
them. It really works and will convince your clients of your
writing savvy.
