		<description><![CDATA[<strong>“What are some methods used at conferences to introduce writers to editors?”</strong>

When registering for a conference, you should be told exactly if--and how--you will get to meet editors, and how long scheduled appointments last.  Editors generally attend conferences to present workshops and/or join panel discussions with other editors, in large group sessions, to reveal current editorial needs to conferees. Some, in hopes of finding new and talented writers, allow authors to sign up for brief personal meetings. Those meetings are conducted in a variety of ways:

		<description><![CDATA[One form of nonfiction is the personal experience story. This type of story uses elements of fiction, including dialogue and scene-setting. 


With "creative nonfiction", you get to flex both your fiction and nonfiction muscles! It's fun, because unlike with fiction, you don't have to worry about making up the plot. You simply try to tell the story in a way that helps the reader feel as if she or he were there with you.

		<description><![CDATA[“Kill fee and SASE: What do writing market guide terms mean for ME?"

Anyone reading a market guide can quickly look up definitions of writing terms. But what do those terms mean for you, at this stage in your writing career?  For example, is it good or bad to send an article to a magazine that buys 'all rights'? Market listing terms can: 1) offer clues about your competition; 2) give you directions on how to submit properly; 3) mention benefits to you, if you sell your story or article to them; or 4) forewarn you about what rights you give up in exchange for that sale.

Clues about your competition: Some terms hint at your odds of selling to that magazine, including circulation (# of readers), % freelance written, and frequency of publication.  Should you feel encouraged or deflated by those clues?

Directions on how to submit properly: You don't want to get a rejection in a hurry for a reason that has nothing to do with the quality of your writing. Query format, inclusion of clips, submission methods (mail or e-mail), word count, and timing of seasonal material are included in those directions. Most are rules, NOT suggestions.

Benefits to you: Some terms reveal good things you get from selling to that magazine. Bylines and payment on acceptance are nice to see.  A kill fee is a consolation prize you get if they buy your article, then change their mind later. (I'll describe later why this sometimes happens.)

Rights you give away: A few crucial terms hint at what you give up in exchange for a sale. Some of those terms (as in, conditions, not just lingo) can impact your writing business decades into the future. Rights sold and publication dates are critical.

Let's dig deeper, to look at when and why you might want to go for (or pass on) sending your writing to a particular magazine, depending on terms offered. My advice is based on my personal experience at selling magazine articles for over 22 years, with a few mistakes along the way and some interesting revelations. This advice applies to both new and seasoned writers:

I still recall my amazement in 1988 when I saw my first Writers Market, containing over 4,000 listings for magazines I could potentially sell my articles and personal experience stories to. It was mind boggling.  Each annual edition functions primarily as a directory, with contact information and special requests from editors . . . <a href="http://sellyournonfiction.wordpress.com/2010/11/16/%e2%80%9chow-do-i-find-market-directories-that-list-magazine-titles-editor-contact-information-and-editorial-needs%e2%80%9d/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sellyournonfiction.wordpress.com&amp;blog=16879386&amp;post=84&amp;subd=sellyournonfiction&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post addresses Question 2 (see Magazine Writing Basics for all 12 questions) about how to start writing and selling to magazines.

Q. “How do I get paid for my articles or stories?”

Freelance writers for magazines are usually paid per published word. (Newspapers usually pay per column inch or per column.) How does this translate to actual income?

Articles are usually submitted in 12 pt, Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1” margins. This translates to about 250 words per typed page.

A magazine page with all text would have about 1,000 words. Of course, most magazine pages contain at least 1/3 graphics, with plenty of additional white space created by the use of lists, headers, quotes, fillers, etc. Many articles are about 750 words long (in other words, three of your typed, double-spaced pages). In some magazines, features run 2,000 to 3,000 words, but you will notice that material usually includes sidebars or a collection of mini articles on one theme. (I will explain later how to increase your article sales by strategically writing filler and sidebar material.)
