 Writing Lessons: The Synopsis made easy!
Writing Lessons Author:Liana Metal

What is a synopsis?

A synopsis is a summary of your work. You must always enclose a synopsis with your mss. Do not expect the editor/publisher to read your mss without it, as they do not have much time available. Your synopsis will tell them if it is worth reading further on. So, it is important to write a good synopsis , as it is this document that represents and will sell your work.

 Writing Lessons: Ghostwriting is Not for Sissies: Six Lessons Learned the Hard Way
Writing Lessons BobbiLinkemer writes "Author:Bobbi Linkemer

When I decided to become a ghostwriter, I was quite naive. I had been writing professionally for close to four decades and freelancing for most of that time. I had written 12 nonfiction books on a range of topics. I had developed a workbook and taught many people how to write nonfiction books. I had even written an e-book called "So, You Want To Be A Ghostwriter?" I thought I knew the score. Boy, was I wrong."

Too much emphasis is put on the structure, grammar, and spelling in writing. People need to look past all the mechanics of writing. They need to look at the heart that the author has put into the work. There are a number of writers who are too quick to critique another writer's work based solely on bad formatting, bad punctuation, or spelling mistakes. If only these writers would learn to look past the mechanics.

 Writing Lessons: Make a Chapbook of Your Poetry
Writing Lessons Author: Rose DesRochers

Poetry is a hard thing to market;. It could take years to get your work published by a traditional publisher. Why not publish your own chapbook? A chapbook is "a small book or pamphlet containing poems, ballads, stories, or religious tracts”. The term is still used today to refer to short, inexpensive booklets.

I want to resell an article that has already been published by one magazine. I don't want to change the article. It's my understanding that the original manuscript belongs to me, and that only the magazine version belongs to the original publication. So I should be able to resell my original article to other publications, right?
