Getting published is a phenomenon with many angles. There's getting a book published, getting an article published, getting self-published, getting published online. People even publish stage plays so theatres around the world can perform their work. Whatever your genre, whatever your medium, as a writer, you will likely want to get published in some shape or form. While there are few magic bullets and many different "rules" depending on what you write, there are also some things to keep in mind that can help advance the odds of your being able to see your name and your work in print.

  1. Don't be afraid to start small and work your way up. When I come across new screenwriters sometimes, I am amazed that they really believe in a few months they will have their scripts on Steven Spielberg's desk. Without getting into a huge discussion of how tough it is to break into film writing, I'll say just that it's really, really tough and usually takes years to do. I don't want to crush anyone's dreams or tell them they likely won't be that one in a million script that gets through, but I do suggest they may want to have a backup plan, like writing and producing their own short film or maybe sending queries to small production companies.

    I have the same advice for new writers of all sorts, especially new article and short story writers. While it's great to aim high, also realize that the most competitive magazines often don't work with unestablished writers, and if they do, are flooded with submissions. Getting published in most "big markets" in any medium is tough for a newbie - it's tough even for an oldbie! Keep in mind you will likely not sell your first freelance article to The New Yorker. You will likely not get your first mystery story published in Ellery Queen. Instead, as you hone your skills and work on your piece, look for small markets that will offer you a chance to "break in." These can include local papers, websites, newsletters, and small, independent literary magazines. These aren't sure thing markets, by any stretch, but many of them give you better odds at publication. And the more you publish, the better your odds at breaking into the next tier of markets. Keep in mind "smaller market" (smaller company, smaller circulation, etc.) usually means smaller paycheck, or maybe no pay at all. Only you can judge if working for cheap or for free is worth doing for a byline and a clip (published piece for your portfolio). For a website with writers' markets, see the link list below.
