A Teen's Guide to Getting Published is the only resource for teen writers from the viewpoint of two successful, nationally published teen writers. Covering everything from getting organized to working with editors, this is a no-nonsense resource to help young people see their writing published.
The authors provide tips on many aspects of writing and publishing, such as:
- brainstorming and how to find inspiration for topics,
- editing techniques,
- manuscript and cover letter formatting,
- record keeping and organization,
- the step-by-step process of submitting work for publication,
- conveying professionalism in correspondence with editors,
- the importance of following editor submission guidelines,
- understanding copyright and ownership of creative works,
- overcoming rejection and maintaining enthusiasm, and
- avoiding potential pitfalls in the world of publishing.
Teen's Guide also includes a glossary, reference list, and directory of magazines and publishers that accept the work of young writers. The authors share personal anecdotes throughout the book, and use their own blunders and successes to educate and encourage their peers.
Seeing one's writing published is a very rewarding experience at any age, but can be particularly beneficial for young writers. Getting published is the ultimate compliment to a writer, boosting confidence and encouraging a continued commitment to improving writing, editing, and communication skills.
