FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK:
=======================
A couple issues ago, I asked for postcards from your hometowns. I
received 131 postcards from the U.S. (including Alaska and
Hawaii), 12 from Canada, and 15 others (Netherlands, Italy,
Israel, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Ireland, England, Hong Kong,
and Santa Cruz). I read every card, and was touched by the kind
messages on many of these. Mary Ella Vause's name was randomly
drawn to win a copy of WRITER'S GUIDE TO INTERNET RESOURCES by
Vicky Phillips and Cindy Yager (Macmillan, 1998). Leo Lindstrand
wins a special prize (a classy Pomegranate bookmark) for the most
interesting "hometown card"...he lives on a sailboat! I'm not
exactly sure how I'm going to send him his prize, but I'm sure
we'll figure out something. :-)
Congratulations to the following prizewinners:
Alyson Cresswell Moorcock (alysoncm@clear.net.nz)
- wins a copy of Small Presses and Little Magazines
Charles Gragg (cgragg@ameritech.net)
- wins a copy of Artists Communities

HOPSCOTCH
---------
Hopscotch: The Magazine For Girls, Bluffton News Publishing &
Printing Co., POB 164, Bluffton, OH, USA 45817-0164. Editors: Ms.
Marilyn Edwards (Editor), Ms. Becky Jackman (Editorial Assistant).
Bimonthly magazine for girls 6-12 years, with 8-10 being the
target age. Est.1989. Pays on publication. "Pays minimum 5c/wd
for both fiction and non-fiction, with additional payment if
piece accompanied by appropriate photos/art. We pay minimum $10
for poems/puzzles, with variable rates offered for games, crafts,
cartoons, etc." Buys FNASR. Simsubs ok if informed. Encourages
new/unpublished writers. Sample copy: $3 in U.S., $4 outside of
U.S.. All payment must be in US funds. Send complete mss with
SASE. WORD LENGTHS: Non-fiction: max 500 wds. "Our point of
view is that every young girl deserves the right to be a young
girl for a number of years before she becomes a young adult. As a
result, HOPSCOTCH looks for articles, fiction, nonfiction, and
poetry that deal with timeless topics, such as pets, nature,
hobbies, science, games, sports, careers, simple cooking, and
anything else likely to interest a young girl." NOT LOOKING FOR:
"We leave dating, romance, human sexuality, cosmetics, fashion,
and the like to other publications." OTHER TIPS: "We are looking for
lively writing, most of it from a young girl's point of view -
with the girl or girls directly involved in an activity that is
both wholesome and unusual. Examples have included girls in a
sheep to shawl contest, raising puppies that are destined to
guide the blind, girls taking summer ballet lessons from members
of the New York City Ballet. While on the subject of nonfiction
- remembering that we use it 3:1 over fiction - those pieces
accompanied by b&w; photos are far more likely to be accepted than
those that need illustrations." ALSO: "We are always in need of
cute and clever recipes, well-written and illustrated crafts,
riddles, and jokes." (Source: IWGL)
SWORD & SORCERESS #16
---------------------
Box 72, Berkeley, CA 94701. Editor: Marion Zimmer Bradley. "I
want only well-plotted stories of the kind usually regarded as
s&s; no science or space fiction, no contemporary or
industrial-society settings. Stories must have strong female
protagonists and avoid the cliches listed in the essays
introducing volumes 1-12 (esp. unicorns and dragons). Stories by
- or about - men are welcome, but the stories should center upon
the woman central to the story...No avant-garde, 'movement' or
surrealistic stories. If I can't figure out what's going on, I
assume my readers won't care. I like stories with a beginning,
middle, and end - preferably in that order. I do request that
before submitting you read the previous volumes to find out where
my readers are coming from. I CANNOT read DM mss, mss printed on
a printer with an old ribbon, mss that have been poorly
photocopied, or mss that have been laser- or inkjet-printed with
a thin, spidery font...Do not send stories registered, certified,
or express mail - if you need confirmation that your story was
received, enclose a self-address stamped postcard." No simsubs,
disk, or electronic submissions. No reprints. "Do not resubmit
stories previously submitted to me and rejected, unless I
specifically ask you to. This includes stories submitted to
_Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine_." 1000-7500 wds; pays
2-6c/wd. Preferred length is about 4500 wds. "I seldom buy long
stories from beginners. The best chance for a new writer is with
the very short lengths". RT: "I try to report on everything
within 2 wks. In general, if I haven't returned a story within a
month, you can probably assume I am holding it for final
selection and you'll get a decision in May. I spend the last week
juggling and making final choices among tentatively accepted
stories. Stories received before [the opening date] will be
returned or discarded unread. So please don't deluge me with mss
til then. Spend the extra time working on that story and making
it the best you can. I do not read stories received after the
deadline." OPENS: April 20. DEADLINE: May 8. (Source: The Gila
Queen's Guide To Markets #93).
WOMAN'S WORLD, THE WOMAN'S WEEKLY
---------------------------------
Bauer Publishing Co., 270 Sylvan Ave., Englewood Cliffs, NJ
07632. Address Fiction Editor. Weekly. Circ. 1.5 million.
ROMANTIC SHORT STORIES: "We buy contemporary 'romances'. Stories
must revolve around a compelling, true-to-life relationship
dilemma; may feature either a female or male protagonisht; and
may be written in either the 1st or 3rd person. Characters may be
married, single, divorced, or widowed; should be down-to-earth
(no yuppies or jetsetters); and their dilemma should be
poignantly or humorously conveyed. Please think carefully about a
story's setting, mood, and plot, and telling the story with
interesting action and dialogue. (Every sentence, paragraph, and
scene of the story should deliver more information about your
characters and their situation and/or briskly advance the
storyline.) We are NOT interested in stories involving
life-or-death matters, nor are we interested in fluffy,
flyaway-style romances. When we say 'romance', what we really
mean is 'relationship' - whether it's just beginning or is about
to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The emphasis in our stories is
on real life - which is why we do not buy sf/f, or historical
romance." LENGTH: 1500 wds. PAYMENT: $1000 on acceptance for 1st
NASR for 6 months. Write 'Romance' on the envelope. "Get to know
us: Please familiarize yourself thoroughly with our romances
before submitting your work." RT: 2-6 months. (Source: The Gila
Queen's Guide To Markets #93).
PULP ETERNITY
-------------
Steve Algieri, Editor, POB 930068, Norcross, GA 30003.
Submissions for Volume I are now closed, and reading has begun
for Volume 2, "I Am Dragon". "Most of the stories I've received
for this issue have been of the more traditional nature: dragon
eats hero or warrior slays dragon. Those are the kinds of stories
I am not looking for. Since I've only bought one story for this
issue, I've raised the word limit, and revised the GL to reflect
my needs. Short fiction must be under 3500 wds and be told from
the point of view of a dragon. Other kinds of characters may
appear in your stories, but a dragon must be the point-of-view
character. The stories can be any flavor of the fantastic, and
are not limited to traditional fantasy. Cybernetic dragons ok. We
would also like to see dragons in SF settings, and the
exploration of the dragon myth in Eastern, African and other
ethnic cultures. We will also consider dragon crime fiction,
romance, and stories about dragon sexuality, including
alternative sexuality themes. Don't be afraid to push the
envelope, confront issues and experiment." PAYS 3c/wd + 1cc for
fiction. Email submissions ok. Always include a cover letter. If
you include your email address, we will confirm receipt of your
submission by email. Check out the website for helpful hints and
samples of the types of stories we buy. Feel free to contact the
editor with any questions you may have. (Source: Scavenger's

ASK THE SCREENWRITER
---------------------------------------------------------------
by Charles Deemer <cdeemer@teleport.com>
Screenwriting books and software?
---------------------------------
Q: Though I've never written a screenplay before, I have some
ideas floating around and would like to give it a try. Do you
have any recommended software programs or easy "How To" books to
help get me started? -- KB in Japan
A: I often get this question, especially from non-U.S. students
who have more difficulty finding such books and software. Yes, I
can make some recommendations.
My favorite screenwriting book is Lew Hunter's SCREENWRITING 434,
which is based on his UCLA class. Hunter develops his own script
through the book as an example of the principles he's teaching.
The book is readable, well organized and affordable and covers
all the major points of screenplay craft. You can order this book
online at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com.
My electronic book SCREENWRIGHT: THE CRAFT OF SCREENWRITING
differs from all other books on the market by looking at most of
the "conflicting" screenplay paradigms in today's crowded
marketplace, rather than focusing on one of them. I argue that
the different paradigms have more in common than they differ, all
deriving from 3-act "beginning-middle-end" story structure.
Patterned after my online screenwriting classes, SCREENWRIGHT
requires a PC with Windows. Information is at
http://www.teleport.com/~cdeemer/book/index.html.
There are many software tools that screenwriters will find useful
but most are specialized. A general and useful story structure
tool is STORYCRAFT, developed by John Jarvis. STORYCRAFT
emphasizes the "hero's journey" mythic approach to storytelling
in a friendly interface that helps the writer create a story by
following story steps derived from earlier decisions about the
type and genre of story being told. Information on this program
is at http://www.writerspage.com.
Other books I like are Michael Hauge's WRITING SCREENPLAYS THAT
SELL and anything by Linda Seger. David Trottier has written a
useful book, THE SCREENWRITER'S BIBLE, but beginners may find it
too sketchy. Trottier's book is a great refresher course for
those who have been exposed to the basics of screenplay craft.
Nadine White has compiled a valuable annotated list of
books for screenwriters, which is available at my website at
http://www.teleport.com/~cdeemer/bookworm.html.
==----------------------------------------------------==
Charles Deemer is on the graduate writing faculty at Portland
State University, where he teaches screenwriting. Since 1994 he
has been the webmaster of The Screenwriters & Playwrights Home
Page. His electronic book SCREENWRIGHT: THE CRAFT OF
SCREENWRITING was released last summer. For a preview, see:

BREAKING INTO TRAVEL WRITING
----------------------------------------------------------------
By Geri Anderson <geriande@hotmail.com>
As a travel writer, I am often asked for advice about how to
write and sell travel articles. Many people fantasize about
writing in a palm-shaded cabana one day and visiting the ruins of
Pompeii the next. They dream of taking a train through Siberia or
sailing around the world--and getting paid for it. While this is
possible, the adventure, excitement and fun of travel writing
comes packaged with uncertainty and hard work. To get assignments
from top-paying publications, you'll need a portfolio and will
probably have to write on spec for a while.
Breaking into travel writing is like starting a new business and
any new business venture requires an upfront investment. In the
business of travel writing, you don't need to spend time and
money on a college education, renting and furnishing a
prestigious office, or investing $100,000 in inventory. What you
DO need to do is convince editors that you're a travel writer:
this means getting published clips.
One way to build your travel portfolio is to self-syndicate:
writing a travel piece and sending it, simultaneously, to a dozen
or so newspapers. (That ís writing on spec, because no editor has
agreed in advance to pay you.) Newspapers are an easier market to
break into than magazines because there are more of them and they
publish more frequently.
In the heading of your manuscript and in your cover letter, put
in 'One time rights exclusive in your publication area'. With a
few exceptions, travel editors in California don't care if your
article appeared in Kentucky or Ohio or Florida. Some newspapers,
such as the Los Angeles Times and New York Times, require first
rights. After publication, you can sell one-time rights to other
newspapers.
It's a good idea to determine the editor's name, length of
article preferred (probably under 1,000 words) and whether you
should send photographs with the manuscript or not. You can write
or telephone for writers' guidelines. You'll find an extensive
list of newspapers at http://www.n-net.com. I strongly suggest
following the specific guidelines of each publication. Always
send a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Note: You increase your chance of publication if you include
photos with your article. I use a good (in the $400 range), fully
automatic camera and take color slides. Most editors prefer
slides, which they can convert into black and white. It's more
likely that magazines will assign their own photographer -- but
not always.
Pay range varies, generally from $75 to $400, but can be as low
as $35 for small papers. As a beginning writer, you don't have
much power of negotiation regarding pay. But remember, you can
sell the same article to many papers. If you want to build your
portfolio fast, write travel articles for your local paper either
for free or for a small fee. Consider this initial low pay your
"start-up" cost for your new business.
Some magazines will also accept manuscripts on spec, but
generally you need to query magazine editors before submitting
the article. This takes additional time, and magazine editors
want to see published clips.
While you're assembling your market file, which includes a list
of editors and their guidelines, you can also be writing your
first article. If you regularly read newspaper travel sections,
you know there are several categories of travel pieces. The main
kinds are:
** Service pieces: Tell readers what to pack, how to deal with
medical emergencies, how to select a destination, how to evaluate
a travel agent, how to camp with children.
** Round-up articles: These focus on a travel experience and
include six to ten examples. For instance, I wrote an article
about cross-country skiing at dude ranches, featuring my
experience at three guest ranches and listing a dozen more
destinations, including what's offered at each and where they're
located. Try "The 10 most romantic restaurants in New York," or
"Walking tours of western cities." Editors like round-up pieces,
but unfortunately they require considerable research.
** Destination articles: Write about a particular town,
itinerary, museum, cruise, campground. While this is the most
common kind of travel article, the key is to give your piece a
slant/focus that sets it apart from others. What did you see/do
that was unusual, educational, exciting? The biggest mistake of
beginning travel writers is to tell too much. Take the readers up
close, make them see, hear, smell, and feel as if they are with
you. Tell a story, spin a yarn--but "show don't tell." You'll
probably get 4 to 6 different stories from each trip you take.
** Personal experiences: Describe how your vacation, family trip
or weekend getaway changed your life, While these may be more
difficult to sell, they're becoming increasingly popular. You
don't need a near-death experience to write this kind of article.
I wrote and sold an article about climbing into a bell tower in
Mexico that made me face my personal limits--a universal
decision.
** Historical articles: If your destination is historically
significant, take the reader back in time by focusing on the past
and weaving current experiences and happenings into the
historical fabric. I did this in a piece about Dolores Hidalgo,
the birthplace of Mexico's independence from Spain.
In all of these categories, it's necessary to choose a point of
view. Personal experiences are naturally written in the first
person. Second person puts the reader on the scene with you, and
is a common viewpoint. Or, the speaker can be an omnipotent,
unidentifiable viewer spinning the tale for the reader. Reading
travel articles, you'll discover that writers go back and forth
between points of view more than in other kinds of writing. Do it
with care and sensitivity to your readers.
A note about sidebars:
Most travel articles today include a sidebar, usually set off
from the article in a box. Here, you include the nitty gritty
information about how to get there, costs, lodging, other sights
to see. You may want to include a service sidebar, i.e. what to
wear, what immunizations are needed, tips about cultural
differences. By featuring this all-important information in the
sidebar, you don't interrupt the flow of your story.
