Markets for writers today
Thank you so much for stopping by. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Who do I write for? “You write for yourse–” Blahblahblah yeah whatever. Writing for myself is a journal. Writing for myself won’t put food on the table, at least not until I’m famous enough that people want to read my journals. Then I’ll probably be dead. Too late!
I’m talking about writing for paying markets. I walk into Barnes and Noble and think two things: “I sure miss the Tattered Cover,” and “Wow, there’s a whole lotta books and magazines in here. My ultimate chances of getting published can’t be that bad.” But then reports with lots of statistics come out about declining book sales, adults reading less and less, etc… and … well, all that. It can get discouraging.
But it also seems lots of folks are out there doing okay with writing, just of a different kind…
