What Insiders Know—and Rarely Reveal—About Getting Published

In this one-hour video workshop, Scott Edelstein shares an insider’s view of publishing. You’ll discover a wealth of hard-to-find guidance, including:

  • The single most important piece of information you need to get your manuscript read.
  • How and why Writer’s Market may steer you wrong.
  • When you should send the same piece to many different editors at once—and when you absolutely shouldn’t.
  • The five biggest mistakes writers make in trying to get published, and how to avoid them.
  • When to use email, when to use snail mail, and when to use both.
  • 500 publications you’ve never heard of that pay well and are looking for writers.
  • Writing on speculation: what it means, when to do it, and when to refuse to do it.
  • When to pitch a piece before you write it—and when to write it first and sell it second.
