FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK:
=======================
Thanks to Bill Marles for mentioning Inklings in the Fall issue
of CANADIAN AUTHOR magazine (p27, "Where To Sell Your Writing").
Thanks also to Deneen Frazier, Dr. Barbara Kurshan, and Dr. Sara
Armstrong for recommending Inkspot's young writer section in
their book, "The Internet for Your Kids," (ISBN 0-7821-2167) to
be published by Sybex Computer Books in January.
The Inkspot Guidelines Library is nearly ready for testing. Many
thanks to those who sent in suggestions about how to improve
the database content, interface, and search criteria. I'll be
making an announcement in Inklings and Inkspot when the database
is ready for public use.
Jeff and I are going to Germany for a week so I'll be out of
email touch until Nov.20. I bought a German phrasebook in
preparation for the trip, and am now armed with the following
useful sentence (which I plan to use as often as possible):
"Ich surfe hern im Internet" (I like to surf the Internet). :-)

COMPUTOREDGE MAGAZINE - seeks articles
---------------------
John San Filippo, Editor. ComputorEdge Magazine, P.O. Box 83086,
San Diego, CA 92138. Regional computer weekly, with editions in
Southern California and Colorado. "The magazine provides
non-technical, entertaining articles on all aspects of computer
hardware and software, including productivity, advice, personal
experience and an occasional piece of computer-related fiction."
Readers include novice and intermediate computer users and
shoppers as well as experts. "Who writes for ComputorEdge? Our
writers are clear and conversational. They share their technical
expertise in a relaxed, personable manner without unnecessary
techno-jargon. This is a rare combination of talents. We want
writers with flawless accuracy, new angles, interesting solutions
and real wit. We don't want forced humor, flowery wordiness and
10-year-old concepts. Don't be condescending; instead, write as
if you're talking to a friend who's intelligent, but not a
computer expert. Don't send single-product reviews. We prefer a
goal-oriented, problem-solving approach evaluating several
solutions. Our issues have themes, but we're looking for more
than just articles fitting the issue subject; our issues have two
or three different treatments of the cover theme, rounded out by
inside articles and columns on a variety of topics, including
online systems, the Internet, multimedia, Macintosh hardware and
software, alternate operating systems and answers to common
computer problems. Freelance writers contribute to most sections
of the magazine." PAYMENT: $100 per feature article, 30 days
after publication. "If an article runs in both the California and
Colorado editions, we pay $150." Buys FNASR, as well as
subsequent electronic publishing rights. LENGTH: "Feature
articles should be approximately 1,000 wds in length. Shorter
pieces (between 500 and 800 words) accepted for our Beyond
Personal Computing section earn $50 ($75 for both editions)."
COLUMNS: The columns Mac Madness and I Don't Do Windows
(alternate operating systems such as Amiga, Linux, OS/2, etc.)
are open to freelancers. Columns pay $75 each, and $100 if run in
both editions. Columns should be from 750 to 900 words. TIPS:
"What's the best way to proceed? Be familiar with the magazine.
Read several issues, understand the editorial focus. Know why we
cover a topic and what level of knowledge is imparted. Understand
what we're doing with our columns and departments. If you have an
idea for an article, you can either submit a query letter or the
completed piece with a cover letter. In either case, your letter
should state the following:
- The problem, technique, profile, event, or products you wish to cover.
- Why ComputorEdge readers would be interested in your story.
- Specific solutions and/or conclusions you've found.
- Why you should be the writer covering this story.
- Whether the proposed story has a regional angle, or is of general
interest.
If we accept an article or want to discuss a query, we'll contact
you--please provide an email address and day/evening phone
numbers in addition to your mailing address. Don't call us about
the status of your story; if in doubt, send us a "reminder"
postcard or email. If product reviews are proposed as part of a
story, we can arrange for product delivery. When the article is
completed, we'll need it in ASCII or WordPerfect format (6.0 for
DOS)--on diskette, uploaded to our BBS (619/573-1675) or emailed
to the magazine's editor (please do not email unsolicited
manuscripts). Acceptance of a piece does not guarantee its
immediate publication. If we've rejected a piece and you've
included a SASE, we'll notify you by mail. We cannot guarantee
the return of any unsolicited manuscript, diskette, photograph,
or other materials. If we do reject your article, try again.
Thanks for your interest in ComputorEdge."

E-SCAPE - seeks speculative fiction
-------
Marie Loughin and Dave Phalen, Editors. Mss and correspondence
can be sent to Marie Loughin, Editor, 1228 Westloop #356,
Manhattan, Kansas USA 66502. Electronic magazine of speculative
fiction. "We consider all forms of science fiction, fantasy,
horror, and any combination thereof. Naturally, some limits are
placed on this wide open format by our personal biases and
tastes: - Science elements in science fiction should be
convincing and should support rather than dominate the plot. -
Horror is more horrifying if the reader cares what happens to the
characters, and horror makes a better story if it is carefully
plotted. Also, we'd rather be scared than disgusted. - Fantasy
stories, esp. those set in traditional fantasy milieus, need to
contain enough fresh elements to keep us from thinking we've
already the story dozens of times. - We are not interested in
shared-world stories, or stories set in worlds not of your
making. - We will not publish stories containing gratuitous sex,
violence, or gore. Do not query before sending fiction. Please
include your postal mail address, email address (if you have
one), and word count on the first page of the manuscript.
Author's name, mss title, and page number should appear on every
page." Postal (snailmail) preferred for mss originating in the
U.S. Subject headings on email inquiries should reflect nature of
message (e.g. "Query" or "Letter to the Editor"). Email
submissions must be sent to Dave Phalen (see below for address)

ASK THE ROMANCE WRITER
----------------------------------------------------------------
by Judith Bowen <jbowen@max-net.com>
Querying without a manuscript
-----------------------------
Q: I hate the long wait after sending out a query, only to be
rejected. What if no one wants to see the book? So I've come up
with another plan: send out a query a week, and only write the
manuscript when I get a positive response. What do you think?
A: Query letters can show an editor if you can string a few
words together or not, but more importantly, they tell an editor
if the story you've pitched is right for their line or publishing
house. A great many rejected manuscripts are rejected because
they do not fit the publisher's requirements, ie. the author did
not do her homework.
Your weekly query letter idea is on the wrong track for several
reasons. Mainly, it indicates a degree of foolishness in the
sense that you seem to have the notion that being asked for the
manuscript is the most important part of the process! Nonsense.
The editor wants to see a manuscript. You haven't written one,
so therefore when you write back to the editor and say so, she'll
put you in the "hopeless amateur" pile, I'm afraid.
What you should be doing, in my opinion, is spending your time
and energy writing a good saleable book that an editor will WANT
to buy, then sending out a query letter. Sending out queries
with nothing to follow up with in the way of a manuscript
indicates lack of serious intent, and will burn your bridges with
editors very quickly. They are busy people and don't want their
time wasted, as I'm sure you can understand. They also have
minds like bear-traps and you wouldn't want to be remembered
as the writer who wasted their time!
No editor is going to go to contract with an unpublished writer
on a query letter or a proposal (synopsis plus first three
chapters). Your only saleable item is your completed manuscript,
so get writing! And best of luck.

TARGETING THE NON-FICTION MARKET
----------------------------------------------------------------
by Devorah Stone <stonefam@ultranet.ca>
The following is a step by step process for targeting new
non-fiction markets.
Start with you
--------------
Write down everything you have any expertise in *any job*...all
the courses you've taken and volunteer work. List all your
hobbies and interests. Ask yourself what kind of magazine or
publication could you write for, or would want to write for.
Target publications
-------------------
Examine magazines at offices, lobbies, waiting rooms and on
airplanes. Go to a magazine stand or bookstore that boasts a
smorgasbord of reading material and buy the ones that interest
you. Public, school and specialty libraries have many periodicals
you might not see anywhere else. Specialty stores often sell
monthly journals. Many airlines have in-flight magazines. Try key
words on Yahoo and Web Crawler search engines for possible
listings and sites of magazines.
Get the guidelines
------------------
Find the guidelines either in reference books or on the net. You
will need to know the current editor's name; that means you need
to see a recent issue of the magazine or contact them by phone or
email. The information even in a brand new reference book is
months old and so are some websites. Note the word length for
the different departments you wish to write for. If you're
writing about barbecuing pheasant, pumpkin carving or outdoor ice
sculptures, get their seasonal deadlines. You have a better chance
of getting your article in regular departments rather than
writing a feature.
If you can't find a complete guideline for a specific periodical,
email or phone them. Your email message only has to say `Please
send submission guidelines' and perhaps a few specific short
questions. Keep phone calls brief.
Prepare a query
---------------
Many publications want a one-page query first. Some publications
require queries for all their articles. Query for any article
longer than 1,000 words.
Never write a query letter longer than one page. Write your
letter in business form. Your first sentence should convey the
style and the angle of your article. Your first paragraph should
tell what the article is about in three or four sentences.
Include a working title. If you know an expert in that field you
have permission to interview, name him. Indicate word length as
a round number e.g. 1,200 words rather than 1,211.
Include your qualifications in a second paragraph. List published
work. Don't offer any negative or irrelevant information.
Writing samples and pictures
----------------------------
Often magazines want an example of your writing. If you can, send
published works that are close in style and content to the
proposed article. If that isn't possible, send a polished
non-fiction sample.
If you need to include a picture, notify them first before
sending a scan or mail a color copy of the photograph.
Tailor your query
-----------------
Send out queries to all similar publications. Tailor your queries
to fit each magazine. If you submit a complete article, include a
short cover letter. The cover letter should mention the length of
the article. Include your postal address and phone number. Always
send a SASE when using regular post.
Deadline and word count
------------------------
If the editor likes the query, has room for it, and has not
already used the idea, she may call you up. Your first concern
will be the deadline. Most editors are reasonable people and will
give you a sensible deadline. They need to get articles in a
certain time so they can edit, review and put together the
graphics or photographs. Seasonal articles can have as much as an
eight months deadline before publication. Often magazines have
themes so they can only print your piece for a specific issue.
Editors have a certain space for specific columns and usually
can't give you too much leeway. It's always easier to write
more than you need and then edit it out rather than the reverse.
The finished product should be within ten words of the designated
word length. The editor will not be impressed if you send your
finished article in weeks early. She probably won't look at it
any earlier than the date she gave you. Send it in - if possible
a couple of days before the deadline.
Revisions
---------
After you send it in, the editor may want changes. It's their
publication and they need to have articles that fit into their
style.
An example of the process
-------------------------
Let's say one of your passions is kite flying. You would target
outdoor and hobby magazines. The perfect venue for a kite
building article would be Flying High, a magazine devoted to
kites. Your first sentence in your query could be `This
easy-to-build condor kite won the regional homemade kite flying
contest three years in a row.' A working title could be `Condor
Kites'. Mention that one-day workshop you organized in creative
kite building and that you work in a store that sells kites.
Modify your query to magazines like Outdoor Fun and Kid's
Hobbies. Mention your work for Big Brothers or Sisters for a
children's magazine. The editor might want to change your tittle
to `Condors Soar above the Flock'.
Follow these steps and trust your own creativity and
talent...soon you'll be crafting articles that rise above the
slush pile and help you on your way to a successful writing
career.
