WRITER'S COMPANION
General Information
I've been a full-time writer for many years, some books and too
many magazines articles to want to think about. It seems that all writers, at
one time or another, get into a rut. The mind refuses to think.
I offer this program as a means to prod the mind to further effort.
Don't take the suggestions too literally, although that's O.K. too. Let
the suggested subjects give you fresh avenues to explore. You know how it
is, one thought leads to another.
The suggested markets may have changed by the time you read this.
Magazines go in and out of business faster than the credits can roll on a
late night movie. The Publisher File will allow you to compile your own up-
to-the-minute information on publishers which use your type of material.
The Accounting File is bookkeeping at its simplest, and applies just to
writing endeavors. It does the job for me, but if you need a full
accounting system, there are far more sophisticated programs out there in
Shareware.
The Submissions Tracker will help you to keep track of proposals and over
the transom submissions. It will keep check on the number of days that
elapse before you receive a reply and give you an overdue warning at 60 days.
Sufficient time, I think, for a publisher to give you notification of
receipt. When contemplating a new submission, you may want to give
preference to those who reply promptly.
The Research File will allow you to make a note of the source of
information. When you need to refer back to a source, back issues of
magazines can be requested from your public library. If, like me, you file
newspaper clippings, the program will help you to find material quickly.
I sincerely hope you find Writer's Companion useful, but please register..
