Learn to walk before you run.
If you've never been published before, write a few short stories and send them off. You can find the proper marketplace for your chosen genre in the WRITER'S MARKET from Writer's Digest Books. This is post-graduate school for writers because you'll never truly know how you're doing until a professional comments on your work. And this doesn't mean your neighbor or your teacher or your Uncle Otto who sold an article on athlete's foot to STARS AND STRIPES forty years ago. Nobody who knows you will give you honest feedback. Only the professional who is looking for his or her next meal ticket will be honest with you. |
