For cases in which no guidelines are...

Writer's Relief Blog: "Fiction Or Nonfiction?... →
Occasionally, we at Writer’s Relief find ourselves working with a writer who doesn’t quite know what genre he or she is writing (fiction or nonfiction). Let’s say a book or story is based loosely on the author’s real-life adventures. Perhaps the names have been changed. Or maybe one or two little things have been altered, but the story is largely factual. Should this story be called fiction or...

Writer's Relief Blog: "Literary Journal Contracts:... →
Finally, finally, you get a “yes,” and a literary journal or magazine is willing to publish your short story, essay, or poem—congratulations! The journal editor faxes you a contract, and you sign it without a second thought, right? Wrong. Before you sign a literary journal contract, be sure to take a closer look so you understand what rights you are granting.

Summer comes, and suddenly it gets a little harder to get excited about making submissions, to say “no” to that barbecue invitation in favor of butt-in-chair time at your writing desk. But if you’re career-minded, summer is also a great time to keep your submissions on track. Here’s why.
