    The Practical Writer Series

    By Simon Whaley

    ()

    About this series

    Here it is, in one box set: the two books every article writer needs to sell a complete words-and-picture package to a magazine editor.

     

    The Complete Article Writer:

    Do you want to write magazine articles, but don't know where to start? Or perhaps you want to break into new markets, but are not sure how. The Complete Article Writer will show you how to do all that… and more!

     

    Writing for the magazine market is the easiest publishing market to break into. But only if you can come up with the right idea for the right market at the right time. 

     

    The Complete Article Writer shows you how to do that, time and time again.

    It also reveals how to maximise your article ideas: don't write one article - write six or more!

    The Complete Article Writer shows you how to analyse a publication to identify its readership and the freelancing opportunities within it. Then it guides you into twisting your idea so it appeals to the core readership and the most important reader of all - the editor.

     

    With detailed advice about beginnings, middles and endings (the variety of different middle structures you can use to exploit your ideas further), along with other pieces of page furniture, including boxouts, sidebars and photos, The Complete Article Writer tells you how to offer an editor the complete package.

     

    Discover how to pitch your ideas and sell your article first before writing a single word. Learn how to negotiate the minefield of publishing rights and keep control of more of your work. Master all this and you will become The Complete Article Writer.

     

    Photography for Writers:

    Which would you rather be: the writer paid £200 for an article or the writer/photographer paid £600 for an illustrated article?

    Practically every magazine uses photographs, so why not become an editor's dream supplier by sending them a complete words-and-picture package? Some magazines only use writers who can supply the photos, so taking photos can open up new markets to you.

     

    Inside Photography for Writers you will learn:
    - How to increase your chances of selling more words by offering photos.
    - How to take publishable photos using your smartphone or compact camera.
    - How to supply photos with your submissions.
    - How to illustrate your articles when you don't have a camera.
    - And how to use your smartphone or compact camera as a research tool.

     

    Take your writing to the next level... with photos! Increase your publication opportunities and boost your writing income!

     

    Simon Whaley's articles have appeared in a variety of publications, including: BBC Countryfile, Country Walking, Lakeland Walker, The Simple Things, Cumbria, Discover Britain, British Heritage, Writing Magazine, The People's Friend, Coast and Outdoor Photography.
