As I said in my profile I am a student of the written word in all of its forms. I am a writer at heart and on paper and it is what I want to do with my life, but what can a person really do? This is my quest to find the job of my dreams (or the one that will get me to the job of my dreams) and help those who are looking for a place for their beloved poem, short story, memoir, or whatever kind of writing you do.
On a quick search, one can find mountains of places to send work and the many publishing companies out there.
Here are a few well known ones:
While these sites focus on what books they have published, it is still a resource to know what kind they take. It is always good to know what is out there. These sites also link to what positions are available at the company.
But if a person only looks here they forget the mountains of other places that they could look: literary journals.
There is one site that I have found to be useful and have used:
On this website they have a listing of those journals that are looking for work to fill their pages.
While the journals ultimately rejected my work it was a great exercise to know what was out there and to start to understand what publishers want from submitted work.
But besides actual publishing companies, I will explore other ways to publish work. Through posting stories on a blog or through other websites.
Overall, this post was mostly to get started and to let my readers know what I want to accomplish, but my ultimate goal with this blog is to understand what I am getting myself into.
