Message from Hope

I had a philosophical discussion with someone this week who didn't like the way a particular state they visited did certain things. I don't want to get into a political discussion here, so I'll keep it general. I also won't mention the state.

I'm a rather live and let live type of person. I told them if a state does things I didn't like, I don't go there. I don't live there, therefore, it wasn't my place to tell them how to live.

They took issue. They didn't like the state's rules and laws. Also, with a live and let live mentality, I told them they could think like they wanted to, but you don't enter someone else's house and tell them how to decorate it, clean it, or secure it for the night. 

Same goes for writing. When you pitch to a magazine, site, or company, you offer them your services in hope they can use your talents. You do not submit a pitch that isn't a pertinent topic, has the wrong word count, or assumes a voice the company doesn't prefer. You offer them what they believe they need. . . not what you think they need that they aren't doing.  

It's presumptuous to want to change others without them seeking change. Yet I read social media posts from freelance writers all the time who get distraught over being rejected because an employer took a certain stance, held a certain opinion, or wished a project performed a certain way. 

It's their baby. It's their home. It's their creation. It's not yours. Help them do their thing, their way, or find someplace else to market yourself. There are plenty of markets out there needing so many different things. Surely you can find the ones that fit your talent. 

Don't put a square peg in a round hole, regardless how much you think everything ought to be square.

EDITOR'S THOUGHTS

 

I WROTE THIS BOOK. NOW WHAT?


An individual wrote me asking this in pretty much these words. They had a children's book out, a month or more old and hadn't garnered a single review. They asked how to get reviews and how to get their book on a list that others would see. 

So many writers push to get a book out then look around stymied and wonder, What now? Then a few weeks later when they hear nothing but crickets, they wonder, What happened?

I didn't read the book. That horse is out of the barn, and I didn't want to pass judgment on quality of work. I had to assume the book was edited and formatted properly and came off as professionally done. The cover was great. Then I replied with the following (no name listed because they don't need this kind of attention from the general public).   

Dear Friend, 

Afraid you didn't even tell me the book title so I could look it up on Amazon. I had to search for it using your name. Anyway, here you go on what to do from here.

1) Never write anyone without mention of the book (and link) in your byline/signature block.

2) Where is your website?

3) Where are you writing online to give attention to yourself?

4) Where are you speaking?

5) What makes you an expert and the right person to write this book?

6) Are you following other children's authors on social media/newsletters? 

7) Once you develop an online presence, have you requested already published authors to review the book?

8) Have you asked teachers and parents to review the book?

9) Are you giving out enough (free) copies of the book to reviewers? (Do not give the book to friends and relatives unless you are sure to receive a review. Unfortunately, those closest are the least likely to review.) 

10) Have you tried to put the book up for sale at local venues?

11) Are you writing articles for publications?

12) Have you tried to draw attention to yourself in local news and publications and chamber of commerce?

Think of it like any other business. The book isn't going to sell itself. You have to sell the book. 

I had to do a search for your book on Amazon. I found it. The cover looks appealing, but we have no idea what the book is about. You TELL us how it's a good book in the narrative, but you do not SHOW us by divulging part of the tale.  You also don't have an Author Central page on Amazon. As a minimum you need that. 

Lists are fine, but if you don't have an online voice, a website or schedule of appearances, they aren't going to want you. Lists want authors that promote the list in return, and have a reach. It isn't just about the book these days. You have work ahead of you. I see the book but there are no links to who you are, what people say about the book, where you will be presenting.

Start here. 

1) Do an Author Central page.

2) Get reviews. (There are a ton of teachers and librarians out there!)

3) Develop an online site via web and social media. 

4) Set up appearances. 

Hope this helps.

Here's hoping this list to this individual does you, dear FFW reader, a bit of good, too.

NOTE: Update on a publisher listing. We've received two notices from authors who claim not to be receiving royalty payments from Propertius Press. Then we found these posts online with warnings. Thought you'd like to know.

Timing Your Query, Article, or Essay Can Enhance Acceptance

By Barbara Weddle

Pitching is an incredibly important part of freelance writing—as important perhaps as the writing itself. That being said, have you ever given thought to the timing of your query, article, or essay?  

Timing your query, article, or essay for a holiday, especially the big holidays such as Thanksgiving or Christmas, is a no-brainer. You submit in plenty of time—say July—when many editors begin planning for their November and December issues.   

Here’s a little tip: During a current holiday—Christmas, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, New Year’s Day, and even lesser holidays—I am always alert for stories or articles and jot down highlights of that particular holiday I feel will make interesting articles or stories for the following year’s holiday. 

For example, one year I scribbled a few notes about a tractor/hay ride on a family farm, taken on Christmas Eve. I later wrote “Yuletide Tractor Ride” which was purchased by Northern Ohio Live. 

On the same note, a road trip taken through Georgia one year at Christmas (jotting down notes) to visit a military son was published in Country recently, and “Aunt Gracie’s Valentine,” a story about discovering a vintage valentine card my deceased aunt had hidden away from someone who had courted her after her husband passed away, was published in Smoky Mountain Living https://www.smliv.com>contribute.  

Some stories, without firmly marked boundaries pertaining to specific holidays, also benefit from timely seasonal targeting. My story, “Caboose,” for example, a story about a summer evening as a child waiting with my parents at a railroad crossing in my father’s 1950 Ford sedan for a train to pass, and “Southern Bookstores,” a story about a leisurely drive through the South checking out small independent bookstores during summer were both submitted in time for summer magazine issues because they took place in summer. 

Likewise, my story about sitting around an old coal stove in winter was targeted for mid-winter and, thus, submitted in late summer. And a story for Creation Illustrated https://creation.com>creation-magazine-writing-guidelines about Canada geese nesting on a frozen river was submitted in mid-summer for the magazine’s winter issue.

There are those queries, articles, or essays for which timing rarely, if ever, applies—long-form personal essays, creative non-fiction, fiction, and poetry submissions, to name a few. However, there are also publications affiliated with universities close for the summer, so submissions need to be made during the academic year as the publications will not accept them any other time.  

When submitting an article query to a travel magazine, timing the proposed logistics of the article around an event in the city, town, or country in which you intend to write about is a good idea. For example, tying in Keeneland’s (as in Keeneland Race Course) fall race meet (October) or its spring race meet (April) with a proposed travel article about Lexington, Kentucky, and its surrounding area, would go a long way in securing an assignment. And, again, the timing of your query submission itself is important; it should be submitted at least six months in advance of the events. 
 
The timing for your submissions on articles or essays about sports can be advantageous, or, in some cases, completely irrelevant. A story I wrote for Your Teen Media https://yourteenmag.com/, for example, mentions baseball throughout; however, even though baseball is played in summer, baseball wasn’t the theme, but being a good coach was. So, submission timing was irrelevant. On the other hand, a query for a short sidebar on the Packers’ tradition of players riding bicycles with children to and from training-camp practice was submitted in plenty of time to allow the article, though short, to be researched and written before the July practice season began. 

Some aspect of timing comes into play with nearly every query, article, or essay you submit and can mean an acceptance or not, so it is wise (and beneficial) to always consider that facet of your marketing strategy.
