A Writer's Guide to Magazine Articles for Book Promotion and Profit

5 stars
So You Want to Write?
Dan Poynter, author of The Self-Publishing Manual

Magazine articles are a great way to get started toward your book. By writing these shorter pieces, you will advance your writing style, bank a reservoir of material and develop a readership or following. My first book took eight years (The Parachute Manual, 590 pages, 8.5 x 11, 2,000 illustrations) off and on (mostly off) as I wrote a column for Parachutist magazine. The articles were poured into the book's manuscript.

This book covers the writing life, how to research and write the article, the business of writing and the most important part: how to sell your article. There is no need to buy a larger book at a higher price when Patricia Fry delivers more for less. DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com.
