Visiting Edisto Island in South Carolina, shopping for
Sweetgrass baskets. This craft is remarkable, the designs
passed down through generations, woven from marsh grass and
pine straw from the Carolina Lowcountry. This is the region
where I set Lowcountry Bribe. This sweet lady offered to
pose with some of her wares which were just phenomenal.

PREPARING TO PROMOTE

I'm learning so much in my whirlwind efforts to promote
Lowcountry Bribe. The main lesson I've gripped is that people
in this industry are nervous. They are worried about what works
and what doesn't. They want to know you know your stuff. They
are leery of novices. They are afraid that they'll get stuck
with books that do not sell. They are leery of interviewing someone
with a bad book. Tentative is a good word for it. I've learned I
better know how to hold a conversation when I walk in the door of
a bookstore or to hold an interview, because they test me.

Of course I've used my SHY WRITER tricks. One in particular is
to grab someone more extraverted to break the ice and make
introductions. If you don't have that, however, be prepared to
get scrutinized.

Writers get culled AFTER they've published, too.

I've spoken in depth with six indie stores and two Barnes &
Noble managers. I've interviewed with three newspapers. I'm seeing
trends in the needs as well as the concerns of these professionals.
Some of the questions included:

1. Are your books returnable?
2. What is your writing history?
3. What made you decide you wanted to write?
4. Why this story? Why this character?
5. Why does your book need to be in my store?
6. Who is your publisher? What is their background?
7. What else has your publisher published? Series? Authors?
8. Do you have an agent?
9. How are the reviews to-date?
10. What do you do in addition to writing?
11. What is your background in writing?
12. What are the discounts on your books?
13. Does Ingram handle the book?
14. Do you consider consignments, and if so, what discount?

I can now recognize when the wall comes down and they take
me seriously. One very pleasant store owner said he wouldn't
put a self-published book in his store if his best friend
wrote it. Another wanted the book to connect with her region
or type of client, or she wasn't interested, and she explained
some history of the business. One editor wanted to know why
I thought I could write.

I'm not trying to scare you. I'm trying to educate you so that
you don't get slapped unaware when you walk into a situation.
Whether you self-publish or traditionally publish, you still
have to prove yourself. Be confident, dress appropriately for
the setting, and have rehearsed answers in your head.

Everyone writes these days. Your job is to show that you're
the real deal, not someone pretending or just testing the
waters to see if you really like doing it or not.

You can do this. Just prepare.


NOTE:
You guys know how I love Kickstarter. Here's another good
project, this time by a small publisher that's trying to
organize a tour to visit 15 states and 26 towns to promote
FOR their authors. I'm serious about this venue being great
for writers seeking funds to make their dreams come true.

LOWCOUNTRY BRIBE is out!

The Carolina Slade Mystery Series is live with its premier
book Lowcountry Bribe. Welcome to the world of Carolina Slade.

She's a simple government employee offered a bribe.
She follows the rules and tells the authorities.
Then all hell breaks loose because she did.

"Jesse drew me by my stretched sleeve to the truck bed, my face
barely a foot from the nearest body. "There's ten thousand dollars
in it for you," he whispered, draping his arm around my shoulders.
"If you find a way to get me the Williams farm. We can iron out
the details later . . . in private." He winked and clicked his
tongue. "If you know what I mean."

Panic coursed through me at the altered state. Like hearing that
your churchgoing mother liked bourbon straight and sex on top.

He'd offered me a bribe."

WORDS OF SUCCESS

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

- Anais Nin



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SUCCESS OF THE WEEK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Dear Hope,

I'm happy to report that I received my first acceptance from
a paying market! My science fiction short story, "A Black Gaping
Hole," will appear in Aoife's Kiss, a science fiction and fantasy
magazine, in March 2013.

I've followed your advice to search for paying markets (and
specifically ones that do not require reading fees) since I
first saw you speak at the FWA conference in 2008.

The editor originally rejected the piece, but gave me the option
to rewrite and resubmit. I took the editor's advice and tried to
be as gracious as possible when corresponding with him. I know
that sometimes writers take offense when an editor makes suggestions,
but I was absolutely thrilled that he told me why he rejected it.
I did allow myself a moment to grieve over the fact that he didn't
think it was the perfect story as is, and then I moved on. After
the first rewrite, he offered one last suggestion, and I followed
that advice as well. It paid off. I received an acceptance with a
contract.

Thank you for your consistently good advice. Take care.

Writing Local Doesn't Mean Writing for Free

By Geri Jinks

Writing for local publications is a great way to polish feature
writing skills and become more experienced in conducting interviews
and researching topics. However, no matter how limited your list of
published articles, do not be drawn into working for nothing. If a
publication makes money in any way, whether by subscription or
advertising sales, or is published by a business that exists to
make a profit, do not provide them copy for free! Never consent
to writing just for a byline.

I worked eight years in the newsroom of a local daily newspaper -
circulation 8,000 over four counties - as a copy editor and feature
writer. I learned a lot about publishing and how publishers
make their money. Since it was a small newspaper, I worked closely
with the advertising department and came to realize how much money
publishers make from advertising. It suffices to say that I learned that
there is NO EXCUSE for an ad-selling publisher not paying writers.

After I left the newspaper, I sent gardening story ideas to state
publications. I was treated nicely by Mississippi Magazine. They
have regular writers, but take essays from readers (for about $150)
and sometimes accept story ideas from freelancers. They published
two of my features at $400-$500 per story. Not huge pay, but not
too bad for the effort involved, especially since they sent a staff
photographer to take the photos. Contrast that pay with Mississippi
Gardener (one of a chain of state gardening magazines) which paid me
$75 for a story and photos. The editor wanted me to write more articles,
but I told him that with film, development costs (the year was 2003)
and travel expenses, I couldn't accept. He allowed that someone with
my experience deserved more, but swore he couldn't pay more. Having
seen national advertising in the publication, I knew his comment wasn't
true, and said thanks but no thanks.

A regional publication has been distributed free in my area for years.
They cover a large section of the state, including my county. Several
local people wanted me to write about our area, and someone gave me
the name and number of the publisher. I called her, and she said that
almost all of her writers wrote for FREE. That helped explain the
quality of their essays and stories - written by locals in her city
who were so hungry for a byline that they wrote for no compensation.
The publisher's husband was the photographer for the advertising.
Basically the writing was merely a vehicle for them to sell advertising.
She went on to say that she "wished" she could afford to pay someone
with my feature writing experience to contribute stories from our city.
I told her if she ever decided to pay for features, I'd be glad to submit
ideas. I never heard from her. Now they mostly print society photos -
weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, local galas - all sent in by
people excited just to get their photos and names in print.

I now encourage beginning writers not to fall into the trap of writing
for no pay at all, or for pay that doesn't cover their expenses and
then some, for local publications that are only out to sell advertising
and make a nice living for the publisher. Just because it is local
doesn't mean it's not turning a profit.

Don't sell yourselves short. Your hours spent researching and writing
are just as valuable as time spent in a paying occupation. Don't
waste your time writing for someone who won't pay for your efforts -
instead, concentrate on finding the ones who will. As Hope Clark
often says in Funds for Writers - they pay everyone else, so they
should pay the writer.
