publisher. We'll cheer you either way! Send news of your sales, your
rejections, and of course, links to that new book, story, or article to MaryRosenblum@forums.longridgewritersgroup.com
And remember to keep a log of your submissions so that you can compete for Most
Persistent Writer this year!
Most Persistent Writer Award Rules: Keep a log of all your submissions; the date you sent it off, the name of the market. Keep your fiction submissions separate from your nonfiction submissions. On August 31, 2012 count up your submissions sent out between September 1, 2011 and August 30, 2012. I don't want the number of acceptances, I want the number of submissions you sent out. Send me that number at the end of the Persistent year – after August 30, 2011. It's that simple! I'll ask to see the logs of the winners, but you'll find that log is very useful for you, as well. Our Most Persistent Writer -- the one who has simply gotten the most stories or articles into the mail -- wins a prize. I will offer a separate Nonfiction and a Fiction award so don't forget to keep your fiction and nonfiction submission lists separate. Yes, contest submissions count, yes, Non Fiction query letters count as well as complete submissions, yes, novel query letters to agents or editors count, no, poetry submissions do not count. The prompts here do not count, but any review you send me does. No, Nano drafts don't count either, unless you actually submit it to a publisher. And yes, if you get a rejection and send that piece to another publisher, that is indeed another submission. So if you send something to five publishers and get five rejections, you still have five submissions. Oh yes…previous winners are not eligible to enter in the category they won in. We know you’re persistent!

Hi Mary,
I have this month joined Thematic Literary Magazine as a fiction editor and am
passing along this market to the Long Ridge students. Please read the
guidelines carefully as you must include what theme your 5000 word or less
piece (fiction or poetry) is written under. Send in only your most polished
work with a strong theme. http://www.wearethematic.com/ -- Wanda Morrow Clevenger
Cool, Wanda, and thanks! Congrats on the new job
and do send us a link when issues are published!
I entered a short story, one of my LRWG assignments, in the Authorstand Short Story Contest #6. One of 700 entries, I was just advised that it was awarded First Place in the contest. Authorstand.com is a writer's community and sponsors various paying contests, from flash fiction to novels. Their scoring is interesting: 80% by the editors, up to 20% by the readers (based on a minimum number of reads and its rating average). I still find it hard to believe... -- John Laird John, that’s great news! Congratulations!
Hi Mary, I'm thrilled to announce my newest novel, Secrets, Lies, &
Love is now available from Amazon http://amzn.to/zZznVG A dilapidated Queen Anne
Victorian, a dead body, and an ex-boyfriend complicate life for Meghan Shelby
when she returns to her hometown
after a ten year absence. – Roseanne Congrats,
Roe, thanks for the news!
KC Ball, editor of 10 Flash Quarterly and a guest on the website some time ago, writes us: Snapshots from a Black Hole & Other Oddities by Seattle speculative fiction author K.C. Ball will be released Friday, January 20, 2012. The short-story collection is published by Hydra House Books. Ball's short stories have appeared in various print and online magazines, including Analog, Lightspeed, Flash Fiction Online and Murky Depths, the award-winning British fantasy magazine. Way to go, KC! Congrats! Send us a buy link, dear, I didn’t find one on your website!
Tom Davis wrote me that he queried the editor of Parade, who agreed to look at a piece, even though they rarely take work from freelancers. Good luck, Tom!
I just wanted to let you know I sent out a feature length article entitled "A Light for my Path" to Christian Woman Magazine. This magazine; targeted for Church of Christ members, was established in 1933 and seems to have a wide following. It's a non-paying market but I thought it would be good to get a writing clip through this kind of established magazine. I hope it gets accepted. I worked on it for one week, and revised it 7 or 8 times! Thank you for your encouragement! -- Amy Bovaird Amy that would be a very nice clip and good reader exposure! Good luck and keep us posted!
Mary, just wanted to share the news that I was published once more in Carolina Hoof beats Magazine. I wrote and article about NC 4-H Teens winning the World National Horse Bowl. It is in the Jan/Feb print issue. They are online also, and have an online different issue monthly. It can be read there at the website carolinahoofbeats.com. -- Martha Guthrie Way to go, Martha! I think you’re online to become one of their regular contributors!
My article "Quick and Easy Meals for Busy People" was accepted by a local magazine here called North Dakota LIVING for their "Recipe Roundup" section in the February issue. I wrote this article for assignment 7 for the Breaking Into Print course at the Long Ridge Writers' Group. I'm currently on assignment 9. I'm so excited and I can't wait until I see my article in print and the photographs taken by their photographer. Sincerely, Martina Kranz Oh, that’s so cool, Marina! There is nothing more wonderful than that first publication!
Wow, we have lots of great news this week! Good on you, folk, for sending that work out and congrats to those of you who got an acceptance! Send YOUR news to me at: MaryRosenblum@forums.longridgewritersgroup.com
New Student News: Jackie B.
Hello to all,
My name is Jackie and I just wanted to say that I am excited to begin this journey
with my writing. I hope to accomplish my dreams and goals. My
instructor is kind, patient and very encouraging even though I am a beginner.
I know that she will be in my corner for the months to come. Although I
don't have 24-hour access to the internet in my home, I hope to be able to use
the chat room and participate when I can. I hope that everyone had a
wonderful Christmas. I look forward to reading more of the newsletter(s)
and corresponding with some fellow writers (and you too, Madame Web Editor)
next year.
Blessings -- Jackie B.
Jackie, welcome! Nice to meet you and do come visit on Post a Note. That’s a great place to meet folk and chat. Be sure to try the prompts! They’re a great little exercise for your creative brain, and fun, too.
I always need news from graduates or new students, and even you procrastinators! Have you finished the course? Are you in the middle of it? Are you getting work out? We’d love to hear from you, love to meet you new students! You don’t have to be publishing or even sending work out. Just touch base and let us know what you’re doing. Share it with us at LongRidgeWebEditor@LongRidgeWritersGroup.com
SPOTLIGHT: Cutting the Plot Puppet Strings
You’ve watched the late night horror movie where the shrinking-violet damsel in the tower room of the dismal old mansion hears something growling in the basement. We know it’s the monster. At this moment the lights go out! What does our fearful heroine do? Hide under the bed? Leap from the window and run screaming into the darkness? Call 911 on her cell phone? Nope. She lights a candle and immediately goes down into that dark and deserted cellar. Remember that this is the woman who is otherwise scared of her own shadow and faints at the sight of a spider.
So do we believe this? Of course not. This is a plot puppet, not a real person. We know that she needs to be attacked by the monster, so of course she takes that candle into the cellar where something is growling. She has no choice. The plot is pulling the strings and she has to dance. This is, alas, a common problem for many new writers of fiction. All too often we send our characters off to confront a peril when the person we created really would rather stay home and read a good book.
So how do you make that person put the book aside or send our heroine into the basement? For some help there, check out Cutting the Strings: How to Avoid the Plot Puppet in Writing Craft: Character Development.
You’ll find some helpful tips for creating a vivid here and now in Creating a Sense of Place In Writing Craft: Craft
.
Our discussion about description, how much to use, how little, has been brisk this week! Let’s keep it up. We’re going to continue to talk about description and setting. How much is too much? Is that description important? How do you know? Should you leave it out? Let’s keep talking, it has been fun!

Writing tips from Donna Ippolito, Long Ridge instructor.
Donna Ippolito has been writing, editing, and teaching others to write for more than 20 years. From 1985 to 2001, she was editor-in-chief at FASA Corporation, a Chicago publisher that packaged best-selling science fiction and fantasy novel lines for Penguin Books and Time-Warner. These included the popular BattleTech, Shadowrun, Earthdawn, and Vor series. So check out her websites at www.expert-editor.com and http://dreamscoop.blogspot.com/.
Prior to that, Ms. Ippolito was an editor at the Swallow Press, a prestigious publisher of both literary and commercial titles. Writers published by Swallow include celebrated novelist Anaïs Nin; Jungian analyst Linda Leonard; futurist Robert Theobald; Zen poet Lucien Stryk; and distinguished anthropologist W. Y. Evans-Wentz. She also worked as a senior editor for Consumer Digest Magazine and was a founding editor of Black Maria, a quarterly journal of women’s writing.

Nan F. asks: I write mainly about Hollywood, pop culture, movies, television, celebrities, life in the 60's, the workplace, and opinions on various issues. When it comes to my short stories on these topics, what type of fiction genre would they come under? Would it be considered mainstream, literary, experimental, or genre?
Secondly, what markets would be appropriate for these short stories? When I first started writing five years ago, I was submitting them to literary magazines, but they've all been rejected. Many of the lit mags are run by the English departments of colleges and universities, and they don't want anything about the Hollywood night scene or popular culture. I stopped submitting to these literary magazines.
I know that it sounds like a dumb question, but I would like to know what other markets are suitable to my short stories.
Donna writes: Without reading your stories, Nan, I can’t say what category of fiction they might be, but I’m guessing the rejections have nothing to do with your use of the Hollywood night scene, pop culture, or life in the 60s. Those are settings and themes that would suit just about any kind of fiction, from genre to experimental. Editors of fiction magazines don’t care where you set your story as long as it’s well-written and in the style and tone their readers expect.
Market research is the key to breaking into print, be it fiction or nonfiction. It sounds like you’re writing and submitting a lot, but are you investing the same effort into reading, studying, and analyzing the markets? Many writers get their first publication by submitting to magazines that they actually like to read. If one story comes back, they try the same magazine with a new story. These writers aren’t shooting their work to magazines they’ve never read or wouldn’t enjoy if they did. Nor are they plucking magazine names from some market guide, based on brief (but often vague) descriptions. Often, these blurbs are vague on purpose because the editor wants to discourage writers from submitting without actually reading the magazine.
I sense your frustration, but there are hundreds, even thousands, of fiction markets out there. Many of them are small or no-pay, and many are online publications. These are very good places for a new writer to get her start, but you’ll have to do the legwork. I’m not suggesting you track down and read every fiction mag, but I hope you’ll find at least a few that you enjoy enough to peruse regularly. That way you’ll know exactly what the readers are looking for, because it’s the same thing you look for when sitting down to read for pleasure. The most up-to-date, extensive, and reliable listings are online at sites like Duotrope's Digest, Poets & Writers, and Fiction Factor.
I hope you’ll also seek out serious feedback from a writing coach, a writing partner, a writing group, or all three. It’s not unusual for writers to have blind spots regarding our own work. We’re simply too close to see it objectively. Constructive criticism—even when you don’t agree with it—gives you a brand new set of eyes.
If you like reading Donna's tips every week, check out her recently published Writing Fiction: Ask the Editor, which covers the whole gamut--from getting ideas to getting published. Available in paperback or e-book download. The link wasn't working properly, but it's been corrected. Please try again.
Do you have a question that you’d like Donna to answer? Here's your chance to ask her something. Email your question about all things writing to me and I'll pass it on so that she can answer it in the next Newsletter issue. You can mail your question to me at: MaryRosenblum@forums.longridgewritersgroup.com
WINTER WONDERLAND PROMPT
Let’s make use of that wintery landscape – and hey, even if you live in Florida, that landscape outside is still winter, right? Time for a technical challenge! We’re going to lose the ‘to be’ verbs this time around – that’s the was, is, are, were, and so on. Weak critters, those ‘to be’ verbs. So here’s the challenge. I want a winter scene, NO dialogue, ALL visuals, and NO to be verbs! That’s going to make you really stretch to find a way to say what you want to say, but you know what? You’ll end up using some great active verbs! Woohoo! Good practice for real writing! The deadline is February 1, you have up to 250 words for this, send it to me in the body of the email (NO attachments) to MaryRosenblum@forums.longridgewritersgroup.com Let’s start the year off with a fun writing exercise!
THE WEBEDITOR’S
PICK – Cup of Comfort down and out.
My instructor Donna
Ippolito, recommended that I submit the personal essay I wrote for Assignment
#11 to Cup of Comfort. However, as of January 1, 2011 they stopped accepting
submissions because they decided to cease publication. I thought the LRWG
community might be interested in this information.
In addition, it would be great if anyone can suggestion other anthology
book/magazine publishers looking for personal essays dealing with health issues
(preferably ones that pay...something :-). Recommendations are always
appreciated since researching publications- -although part of the process- -is
such a time consuming endeavor. -- Rita Sickles
Rita, thanks, and oh, darn, another good market lost. Too bad they didn’t go ‘ebook’ and continue. Maybe someone will start an ebook version. That reached a large market and ebooks are much less expensive to market.
Jean Lauzier was born and raised in Arkansas. She now lives in Longview Texas with her husband and three kids. When not writing, you can find Jean talking to her bonsai plants, trying to train the cat or procrastinating on the computer. To learn more about Jean and her writing, stop by her website at www.jeanlauzier.com
Six Pack of Murder a collection of Jean’s stories, now available for the Kindle!
Over the past few years, Mary has been giving us writing assignments in the newsletter. And usually, or often at least, they have something to do with the holidays. Now’s the time to pull them out, polish them up a bit and get them submitted.
Whortleberry Press has four anthologies (http://bit.ly/beNC32) seeking submissions right now. A Halloween, Christmas and Valentine’s Day, which can be any genre, along with a mystery only. Deadlines vary on these so you have time.
I also found a speculative fiction, mystery (http://bit.ly/zUXYU4) anthology on their website seeking submissions. The deadline on this one is May 15th and has a theme.
This is a really nice small press and while I’m not sure if they pay or not, sometimes getting published is its own reward. Just be sure to read their style guidelines before submitting.
Great options for those prompts! Thank you, Jean! And check out her collection for the Kindle, folks! At 99cents, how can you not read it?
B.J. Robinson's Southern Superstitions

excerpt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNoo962DbF0&feature=share Book
Trailer
Prayer versus Southern superstitions when a woman's husband mysteriously
disappears in the swamp on a deer-hunting trip. As steamy as the hot, thick,
sticky heat of Louisiana, this page-turner will keep readers in suspense, as
the author spins a tale of love, loss, superstition, pain, heartache, and faith
in God. God and the power of prayer versus Southern superstitions. Through
belief, faith, hard work, the power of prayer, and God's help, this powerful,
moving story is a thought-provoking Christian romantic suspense about a young
couple who fall in love, but have to change her mother's mind in more ways than
one, if their relationship is to survive. Can Andy convince June there's more
to their relationship than friends? Will he win the approval of Myrtle, her
mother, and can love survive strawberry season and an April flood? Will June be
able to give Andy a child?
"Very good! She never gives up hope that Andy will return to her
someday. She puts it all in God's hands like she'd done every crisis in her
life. She knows He will take care of this for her." Reviewer Kathy Boswell
Releases January 15 from Desert Breeze Publishing, Inc. and will be
available wherever fine books are sold. Amazon and Barnes and Noble.com, Sony,
Kobo, etc. as well as through the publisher. Developed from Robinson's
first-prize winning short story.

___ Hi all, I'm Bill Polm, a
graduate of Longridge's Fiction Writing Course. I recently started a blog
for writers. It's here: http://www.keystowriting.com.
My primary purpose is to share what I have learned and am learning about the
writing craft, including both fiction and nonfiction posts, book reviews, and
other topics.
But the subjects lean toward nonfiction a little more than fiction writing
currently, and the majority of my focus targets general writing techniques.
AKA rhetoric.
I am writing two ebooks, one titled The Keys to Writing Workbook that will
expand upon my posts and include exercises. The other has the tentative title
Super Keys to Writing, which will be a longer e-text and delve into the modern
English sentence, paragraphing, suspense, outlining methods, as well as a
number of other topic. The Workbook will be offered free to those
who signup to follow my blog. Super Keys I will offer for sale off my
blog and perhaps elsewhere. All this in addition to working steadily
forward on my novel.
Hey, if you need a break from writing, or doing dishes, or...why not give my
blog a peek? You might find something there you like! Keep writing, guys!

Sandcastles of Love, teen
romance, by Sydell Voeller
When Logan Becker's family embarks on a summer "house swapping"
vacation in a beach town in Oregon, Logan is overjoyed. Similarly, Tricia
Merrit, the daughter of the other family, is thrilled to be in the farm belt of
Minnesota.
Logan falls in love with the beach boy surfer of her dreams, but soon she
discovers he's Tricia's boyfriend. Logan's dreams are shattered. Meanwhile,
there's another boy who is attracted to Logan-the totally uncool Grant Duncan
who is busy trying to launch a campaign to clean the local beaches.
Can Logan come to realize that true love often reveals itself in unexpected
ways?
"Young readers will enjoy Sandcastles of Love, particularly ones who love
the beach. If you know a young reader who loves the Beach Boys, sand, and
surf, get her a copy of Sandcastles of Love. The story will transport her to
the beautiful Oregon coast and offer her a taste of summer romance. Ms.
Voeller's descriptions of the Oregon coast are wonderful, as are the scenes
where Grant teaches Logan to build sand castles. Well-written, interesting,
and delightfully romantic, they made me want to grab a bucket, take off my
shoes and start digging..." Reviewed by Carrie Masek, Scribes World

Writing
Fiction: Ask the Editor
by Donna Ippolito
100 pages
Reviewed by Deborah Lange, Bethesda Communications Group
I continue to be stunned by Writing Fiction: Ask the Editor. Donna is so thorough, she leaves out nothing. Her practical advice is bolstered by examples, quotations, references, stories, shared experiences, all presented in the most comforting and supportive way but without mincing words--what writer wouldn't be heartened to persevere? I never thought I'd find a coaching book to be a page-turner, but that's exactly what it is.
The simplicity and elegance of the design are part of what makes the material so approachable. It's all a stroke of genius.
This book is a boon not only to writers, but to those who work with writers. It is an incredibly thorough exploration of the myriad elements that go into making a story and then getting it published.

Self-publishing with Lulu.com
By Donna Hernandez
In the world of self-publishing there are many sites that you can use. I decided to go with Lulu.com for several reasons. As this was my first time self-publishing I needed someone to help guide me. I also do not have money to pay a company to help me publish at this time.
Lulu is a simple print-on-demand service that lets you publish novels, short stories, eBooks and more. All FREE.
A First Time Visitors button next to the top navigation bar gives you an overview of the service. You'll also see Help buttons that explain each step of the publishing process.
After choosing the type of project, you decide whether it's just for private use, for sale on Lulu's marketplace, or for general retail.
You can upload Word Documents, RTF, and PDF manuscripts to publish text-based books on Lulu.
The company properly prepares you for the process. It has a knowledgebase that gives you all the steps needed to prepare your files for uploading. You can download templates for the size of the book you will be using such as US. Trade 6x9.
The cover designer is easy to use. You can use files from the company or make your own covers. I prefer making my own, so I don’t have the same cover as other books.
ISBN numbers from Lulu are free. Or if you prefer you can also buy your own ISBN numbers.
Since Lulu.com is a POD, there are no costs involved, except buying a proof copy of your book to make sure that it is the way you want it. The only other costs are the GlobalReach, which a Distribution Package, and some of the service packages they provide for authors who are serious about their craft. Lulu's Start Package includes editing, formatting, and design services, and a complimentary copy of your book. The Advantage Package includes a press release for your book, library visibility (to make your book available on library shelves), promotional materials for your book, and three complementary copies.
DISTRIBUTION PACKAGES
· ExtendedReach - Free - Lulu’s ExtendedReach service lists your title and ISBN in major bibliographic databases and makes your work available on Amazon.com. Your book will appear as a regular listing on Amazon and will be eligible for Amazon's discounts and shipping rates. If you bring your own ISBN you will not be eligible for ExtendedReach Distribution.
· GlobalReach - $75 - Lulu’s GlobalReach service lists your title in major bibliographic databases and makes your title available to online retailers worldwide such as Amazon.com, Baker & Taylor, and Barnes & Noble. Brick and mortar book-stores, NACSCORP, and the Espresso Book Machine will also be able to order and stock your title if they desire. This is the only option available if you bring your own ISBN or purchase an ISBN from Lulu
I really like Lulu as it gives me the tools and services to be able to get my books polished and ready to be out in the public.
Thank you, Donna and good luck with your book!! I have been recommending Lulu to my students and clients who simply want a publishing service. The GlobalReach is not really worth the money unless you think you will beat the pavement to many bookstores and get them to put your print book on their shelves. If you do want to promote to brick and mortar stores, then you do need it. If you just want to sell through amazon.com and your website, then it’s not so important.
