Personal Development - PUBLISHING & WRITING
Writing for Publication
A revolutionary and innovative writer's workshop with a unique approach to the world of freelance writing. Such things that are thoroughly covered include: the “dos and don'ts” of preparing a manuscript for an article, short story or book length book; agents-what they will do for you and what they won't; how to find an agent; getting your book in the hands of the right publisher; copyright law; publisher's contracts-what to expect and what not to expect; writer's rackets to beware of, etc. Heavy emphasis is placed on the classroom analysis of student manuscripts and in finding a magazine or book publisher for your work. Robert W. Pelton has been writing for more than 30 years on a great variety of historical and other subjects. He has published hundreds of feature articles and more than 60 books. Mr. Pelton lectures widely and has appeared on many television and radio talk shows.
