=============================================
Publishing vs. Self-Publishing vs. E-Publishing

Thanks to the Internet and technology, we no longer
have only two options to consider when writing a book.
Many writers are self-publishing their own e-books
and having success. I receive daily e-mails and phone
calls from writers wanting advice on self-publishing.
To read what I share as I explain publishing options
to budding authors, surf to:

http://www.writersmarkets.com/index-wm062299.htm


SECURE ORDER FORM
Our secure online order form is once again working. We had to
move it to another server. See:
https://www26.web2010.com/writersmarkets/index-ordering.htm

MOVING
Don't forget. E-mail response will be very slow July
3 - 10 because of the move. Product deliveries will be
made each evening...if the hotels let me log-on. So, if
you want to order something, do it before the 3rd so we
can deliver it immediately.

SUMMER '99 24-HOUR SHORT STORY CONTEST:
Entry deadline: July 30th. Time is quickly running out!

JOB SEARCH HELP
=============================================
Should you work with a recruiter? Why not? Recruiters
work with firms needing full-time and freelance
jobs. Recruiters can negotiate a higher rate of pay for
you, and they are usually very responsive and helpful.
Always have a resume and clips ready to send by e-mail
and regular mail.

=============================================
The Irish American Post, 301 N. Waters St., Milwaukee,
WI 53202. P(414)273-8132. F(414)273-8196. E-mail
irish...@exec.pc. Martin Hintz, Publisher. 50%
freelance. "IAP covers news, politics, business, and
culture from Ireland and throughout Irish America with
emphasis on the area between Canada, Texas, the Rockies,
and Pennsylvania for regional focus; but also does national
and extensive international coverage." Welcomes new
writers, "if they can spell." Circ. 20K. Bimonthly.
Pays on publication. Period between acceptance and
publication "depends on newsworthiness/time element of
story; we handle mostly hard news coverage." Regarding
rights: "Writers keep all rights; but no other publication
in competing area should publish same story." Accepts
reprints. Responds ASAP. Sample $3. Subscription $15;
$28 outside US. Guidelines not available. "Call or
e-mail with queries."
CURRENT NEEDS: "We need features on Irish and Irish
Americans; most coverage is by professional journalists
and internationally noted authors/essayists in Britain,
Ireland and around US, but we always need good, crisp,
descriptive writing. We occasionally publish poetry
(but nothing on wishing wells or 'wee people'), short
stories and book excerpts. We regularly run writing
contests (short stories and spoof essays such as 'My
Miserable Irish Childhood')." Pays $2/published inch
or flat fee of $100-150 for articles of 800-1,200 words.
Submit query first. This publication welcomes phone
calls from writers.
PHOTOS/ART: "Prints okay, but be sure all identifications
are included." Pays $25.
HINTS: "No history of the Famine, no leprechauns, no
'How I Kissed the Blarney Stone', and no thatched roof
cottages. The IAP is a contemporary news magazine
focusing on hard issues such as prisoner release,
decommissioning of weapons in the North, peace talks
and human rights. However, we need features on
personalities, travel, business and the off-beat.
Call or e-mail first, we may have done the story.
Our readers include the US State Department European
desk, president/prime minister of Ireland, the White
House, NY Times foreign desk, embassies/consulates,
universities and 'ordinary' folks. Most issues have
a theme, accompanied by usual columns (music, books,
et al) -- June-July focuses on music; Aug-Sept,
festivals; Oct-Nov, publishing/books; Jan-Feb,
business; Feb-March, St. Pat's; April-May, travel."

Metal Edge magazine, 233 Park Avenue South, 5th Floor,
New York, NY 10003. F(212)780-3555. Website
http://www.mtledge.com. Paul Gargano, Executive Editor.
20% freelance. The nation's largest hard rock/heavy
metal monthly. Works with accredited industry writers
only. Circ. 85K. Monthly. Pays on acceptance. Period
between acceptance and publication varies. Buys
exclusive rights. No reprints. Response time varies.
Sample at newsstands. Subscription $29.95. Guidelines
not available.
CURRENT NEEDS: "Nationally accredited writers, known
in the hard rock/metal field, with vast knowledge of
music past, present and future." Pay varies on
assignment. Submit resume and clips.
PHOTOS/ART: "We handle, from freelance pool and
exclusive shoots." Pay varies on placement, around
$50/shot.
HINTS: "The best advice I can give to new writers is
that Metal Edge is not the place to first be published.
I would suggest honing your skills at the local/regional
level before contacting us, as too many people send
resumes that suggest something of the following: 'I'm a
huge fan of band X, and have read Metal Edge for years.
Can I interview band X for you?' Gather a portfolio first,
and build from there."

Guerrilla Marketing:
The Lifeline of your Self-Published Book
by Maxine Thompson
=============================================
So you’ve self-published your book? What next? After
you’ve run through all your friends, family,
co-workers, religious organizations, and sororities/
fraternities, you generally run into a brick wall.
The truth of the matter? You will wind up with a
garage full of books if you don’t get out there and
market. (I speak from experience here.) True, a
self-published book never dies, gets remaindered, or
goes out of print, but it also does not get the
widespread distribution that a book published by
mainstream gets. And even if you are published
with mainstream, you would do well to "toot your
own horn" and promote your own book.
