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.
This link takes you to
the guidelines for our guest author blog posts. If you're new to the blog, you
can check out the blog archives on the right hand side of this page to see the
valuable topics that have been covered by other authors over the past five
years. The Suite T blog topics have to do with anything on writing and the
business of writing. Enjoy!
