Novel Inspiration via Following Guidelines


By Annette Cole Mastron, Communications Director for  Southern Writers Magazine


As authors, our writing ultimately has to succumb to edits. Before the edits begin, the publisher guidelines must be followed. It's a simple process that some authors  overlook which often causes their submissions to be rejected. 

Occasionally, magazines, blogs, etc. receive submissions from prospective writers who have not read through submission guidelines. As authors, it is absolutely crucial to know who you are writing for and provide a submission that meets the guidelines for publication. 

Additionally, authors need to treat their submissions as a disciplined professional when following the submission guidelines. The authors who do their homework can quickly find their pieces published. They will establish long-term relationships, which may result in becoming regular contributors.

Southern Writers Magazine's Author blog, Suite T, offers authors an opportunity to introduce themselves to our blog readers. This is a great way for an author to broaden their readership by appearing on SWM's blog, Suite T
