Do you ever offer excerpts from your nonfiction book? It\u2019s a good way to get exposure for your book and there are many magazines, ezines and newsletters that use excerpts. I listed several in a recent edition of the SPAWN Market Update<\/em> (in the member section of the SPAWN website). By the way, if you\u2019d like have access to resources such as magazines that publish book excerpts, travel book publishers, publications that use essays, job boards for artists and writers, directories of publishers, fiction book publishers, magazines that use fiction and so forth, you need to join SPAWN at http:\/\/www.spawn.org<\/a> <\/p>\n

In the meantime, here\u2019s a list of publications that publish excerpts. You\u2019ll notice that some of the magazines specialize, so you\u2019ll want to match the material to the magazine.<\/p>\n
