ADDITIONAL TIPS FROM THE EDITOR: "There are a number of
'standard' story types out there which we receive every month.
These include coming of age stories, miscarriage stories,
grieving process stories, sexual awakening stories--the list goes
on and on. While some submissions may actually be well-written
and generally 'good' stories within the type, we see too many
versions of these same stories that don't do enough original
things to break out of the mold. When faced with this prospect,
we generally decide to go with stories which introduce something
that is new and vibrant, something that hasn't been done before.
In other words, we look for fresh stories that shake you up and
are not soon forgotten." (JE)

ASK THE POET
----------------------------------------------------------------
by David Breeden <dbreeden@schreiner.edu>
Beg, Barter, or Easy Street: Getting Paid for Poems
----------------------------------------------------
Q: I enjoy writing poetry and have had a few works published, not
for pay, in poetry collections that printed poems from contests
I've entered. Do you think it's a bad idea to publish poems for
no pay? On one hand, it seems that someone might read it, and
notice my work. On the other hand, it seems that I should hold
out for a paying publisher because I would guess that a paying
company would probably have more readers.
A: Samuel Johnson famously said, "No man but a blockhead ever
wrote, except for money." Since "blockhead" is not a designation
most poets strive for, money looks like a necessary element in
the writing equation. The reality, however, becomes a bit more
complicated.
Payment for poetry falls into three categories:
1. The poet pays.
2. The poet gets paid in copies of the publication.
3. The poet gets paid.
Undoubtedly, the audience increases significantly in the third
category. We will consider them in order.
1. Readers of my columns will recognize this oft-repeated advice:
Never pay to be published. There are several reasons for this,
but let's examine perhaps the most critical one for an unknown
poet: No one will see the work. If a publisher is asking the
poet for money to produce the work, that fact is conclusive
evidence that the publisher has no audience at all. Don't waste
your time or money on such a publication.
2. That said, one must quickly add that if all poets followed Dr.
Johnson's advice, almost no poetry would be printed. The reason
goes back to audience. The audience for poetry is small.
Therefore, little money exists in the poetry publishing world.
As with all economies where little cash exists, a barter system
has developed. Most poets trade their poems for a copy or two of
the publication in which the poem appears. This bartering is the
mainspring of the poetry machine. And an honorable way to publish
poetry in a world which does not much read it.
3. Transactions in which poets get paid cash are scarce. Again,
the reason is economic: few publications which publish poetry
make much money. Publications which pay for poetry tend to be in
the business of publishing something else as well--either niche
journalism, like _The New Yorker_, or specialized information,
like fan-zines and travel magazines. Naturally, both types of
publication have a specific audience in mind--an audience which
pays for their services--and therefore require a specific type of
poem. Also naturally these magazines get heaps of poetry
submissions. This is where learning the markets comes in.
Writers don't have to be blockheads. The publication industry is
filled with people who have good intentions toward writers. Some
publishers even have a few splinters themselves. No one makes a
living publishing poetry. Still, most poets would agree poetry
is one of the most rewarding of human endeavors.

MARKETING - YOUR WAY TO SELF-PUBLISHED SALES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
by Elsie Walker <EWalker738@aol.com>
Today more and more authors are considering self-publishing as a
way to see their work get into print. However, self-publishing
involves more than just writing a book and paying to have someone
produce it. If authors want to see their work succeed and recoup
printing costs (or do better), they have to make sure prospective
buyers know about the book. Here are some ideas for marketing a
self-published work:
Getting out the word and gaining credibility
--------------------------------------------
You know you have a good book - let others know how good it is,
too! To do this you need to get your book reviewed in a
publication read by those most likely to buy the book. Look
through the _Writer's Market_'s listing for publications in your
topic area. Note those that publish book reviews. Next, send a
complimentary copy of the book to the appropriate editor(s) with
a letter outlining the book's focus and that you're sending the
book for his/her magazine to review.
Place your book where the buyers are
------------------------------------
Go to your local bookstore and see if you can get them to carry a
few copies of your book on consignment. (If the book's had a good
review, use that as a selling point.) Also, contact Internet
booksellers like Amazon.com about carrying your work. One
self-publisher told me that Amazon.com works on a consignment
basis with self-publishers.
Get a site on your book
-----------------------
By setting up a web site for your book, you can reach a wider
variety of people than if it was only seen in a bookstore.
Millions of people use the Internet to look-up information. A
search on your book's topic would cause a link to your site to be
listed.
To find out about setting up a web site, check out books on the
topic from your local library or talk to some of your more
Internet-literate friends. Also, if you have Internet access, see
if your online service offers information on how subscribers can
set up their own web sites.
Networking
----------
Make sales and meet people who can help sell your book by
attending and exhibiting at trade shows, conferences, etc. For
example, if your book is on vintage cars, check out local
newspapers and trade publications for locations/contacts of car
shows. Next, find out how you can have a table displaying your
book there. Not only will you be selling your work, but you can
use the opportunity to mingle and network with people who might
be able to help you get more sales. (For example, exhibitors with
catalogs might be willing to include your book in their
merchandise listings.)
Speak Up And Get Your Work Some Free Publicity
----------------------------------------------
If you're comfortable doing it, offer to speak on your area of
expertise at a local library/adult school. Most times talks are
written up in the local newspaper and the author's work
mentioned. Another way to get some free press is to donate a
copy of your book to your local library.
Word of Mouth Advertising
-------------------------
Give out a few complimentary copies of your book to friends and
co-workers with the idea that they will read it and tell two
friends about it and so on and so on.
Marketing can mean the difference between copies of your book
gathering dust in your attic and sales being made. So
self-publishers - get out there and think MARKETING!
