Aren't the topics dry? Don't they require specialized knowledge? Not necessarily. You may want to consider trade journals to increase the potential market for your articles - and for the money. Trade publications make up a significant portion of the hidden source of funds for professional writers. Breaking in can be surprisingly easy - when you know the tricks. What Can You Write? Use a brainstorming list to begin your search for a specialty. To write for a trade publication, you will need in depth knowledge of a topic. Don't force yourself to learn the inner workings of gravel mines when you love the elegant designs of classic furniture. Trade publications require professional knowledge of a topic, so make sure it's a subject you'll want to spend a lot of time with. Start your list by including things you enjoy and love. Whether you volunteer for a non-profit organization or have a degree in agricultural science, include all of the categories in which you have experience. Some trade publications accept articles of personal experience or interviews with recognized authorities in their field. Include your connections with professionals to make your list more complete. Keep this list handy and add to it regularly. * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/markets/trade.html GET YOUR WRITING REVIEWED BY MAJOR PUBLICATIONS FOR FREE by Mark Barnes Category: Promotion - http://www.wordpreneur.com/promotion All Writers need the press, especially new writers.

Now, being unknown, this might seem like a tall task. It really isn't. In fact, I was shocked by how simple it really is. In looking for media coverage for the May 2005 release of my novel, I first decided to approach magazines that focus on the area that is most closely related to the plot of my novel. So, I started with fantasy football magazines and websites, since my novel is about a group of wealthy men who play fantasy football for $30 million prize. My approach was simple but effective. * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/promotion/review.html BASIC WRITING TIPS - SOME CONTROVERSIAL, ALL CORRECT by David Clapham Category: Technique - http://www.wordpreneur.com/technique Writers can take steps to prevent simple, and common, errors from degrading their writing. Five areas of writing that cause authors problems are discussed in this article. Split Infinitives First let us examine the famously frowned upon split infinitive. Maybe some readers do not know, or do not remember, what a split infinitive is exactly. To understand split infinitives, readers must first remember what constitutes an infinitive. An infinitive is a phrase that includes a verb preceded by the word "to," such as, "to play" or "to investigate." Now that we know what an infinitive is, maybe we now remember our English teachers lecturing us against "splitting" them. Simply put, a split infinitive is when a writer puts a word between the word "to" and the associated verb.
