"Only
those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go."
- T.S.Eliot.
The
writers Open workshop is dedicated to helping new writers succeed and help
all writer make more from their work by showing you how and where to sell
it world wide.
You
should never think that you cannot sell your work overseas just because
you have not sold anything in your home country. Many people do just that
and in Voyage and Colonies magazines we have published first time writers
from the USA, Canada, S.Africa and New Zealand.
This
online version of WOW! newsletter contains a brief overview of the much
more detailed information available in our Printed magazine Newswire-Global
markets newsletter.
In
this issue we
provide in-depth market news, advice,critiques, competitions, contacts
and printing services. With the launching of WOW on-line there are even
more chances for you to get published. There's a free newsletter and lots
of give aways, such as magzines, subscriptions & books.
But
most of all we want to hear from you and about you. We want your hints
and tips, letters and comments, stories, poems and features.
Here's
jus a few comments from WOW members:
"I
have plenty of work out with other editors, but mags like yours are invaluable
for would-be writers, so I'll keep on submitting work to you ad infinitum."
- Tony Leather, Nelson, Lancs.
"The
typesetting and artwork used is excellent. It is the most professional
looking small press magazine I have seen."-Chris Stott, Croydon.
"Cheats
by Clifford Thurlow, was the most professional and entertaining story by
far; a story I would have liked to have written myself." Nicolo Giola.
"I
have just read and re-read the first issue of my subscription to Voyage
and I am now even more determined to see my work published among these
pages of magnificent stories and wacky graphics." Mark Crutchfield

Merry
Christmas & a happy new Millennium to one and all.
I
would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have worked
with us, contributed to all of our publications and supported us during
the past 12 months. A particular thanks goes out to everyone who waited
patiently for their magazines during my recent illness. It will probably
take another 3 months before all the publications are back on schedule,
but we will get there soon.
Welcome
to all the new members who have joined us since the last issue. We now
have over 7600 members in 38 countries making us one of the best and most
widely subscribed writers organisations in the world.
Our
plans for 2000 are well in hand and aimed exclusively at helping talented
new writers as well as those who had their first successes and are now
looking to expand to become successful. Our latest book - Writing For The
World Market - is now available and sell like hot cakes. We took 1098 advanced
orders and over the last couple of days we have had the first response
in. You can read what others have to say below. Soon you will be able to
order all of our products by credit card. We have finally got our merchant
account and are in the process of setting up a new website were you can
read reviews and selected passages before buying. We are also in the process
of setting up Voyage, Colonies and Newswire as emagazines which will make
distribution and production easier and cheaper leaving more money to pay
you, the writer. The first New Millennium novels competition is now closed
and the winners, whose novels will be serialised in NMN, will be announced
in the next newsletter. If you have a novel looking for a publisher and
would like to see it serialised in NMN we will be starting the second round
of selections in the new year. You can get an entry form by sending us
an email with NMN in the subject.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regent
Publications Launches new e-book Division
To
start the new Millennium independent book and magazine publisher Regent
Publications
plans
to publish and promote 100 new novels/ poetry or short storyanthologies/
non-fiction books in electronic format over the coming year.
When
news of this new opportunity leaked out prematurely Regent Publications
received
thousands
of enquiries from interested authors. Obviously it is going to be very
popular and in great demand from people who are familiar with the quality
of Regent publications printed books and magazines. However, that quality
will be an important factor. There are plenty of e-book publishers out
there already who are ready to produce any old book regardless of the quality,
but as authors you want to know that your book has been read; how else
can you build a reputation as a writer and make a living from your novels.
After all, as Dr Johnson said 200 years ago:"Nobody but a block head ever
wrote but for money."
So,
to keep the number of possible submissions down to manageable levels Regent
Publications is launching a competition to select those books that will
be in the first batch to be produced.
For
more information, the rules and an entry form send an e-mail to john@voyage99.freeserve.co.uk
and put Regent-e in the subject.

1000 - 6000 words, poems upto 60 lines. We buy First British Serial Rights
but the magazine is now distributed to 32 countries so no reprints please.

mental pictures in the mind of the reader. We welcome new writers, working
with you where possible to improve your work and perhaps suggest other
markets which might be interested. We also give reasons for rejecting your
work. Send completed manuscript by email to john@voyage99.freeserve.co.uk

FOR CONTRIBUTORS
Dateline
July 21 2299
Mankind
has expanded to occupy all the vacant plots in the Solar System. Travelling
from Earth to Mars or the Jovian moons is no more newsworthy than a flight
from London to New York or Melbourne. People still have everyday concerns
about mundane things, only the date, place and scope of human experience
are different.
We
are looking for Short Stories (1000-10,000 words), speculative features
to 3000 words, speculative news (100-800 words) which will mould the future
we are creating. In early issues the scope of your story is wide open to
your own interpretation of what the year 2299 will be like, but once published
these stories will become a part of the 'history' which will shape all
future issues. Contributors should familiarise themselves with several
issues in order to avoid contradicting stories which have already been
published. In time we will create a future, with a history as complex as
that found in either Star Trek or Babylon 5. But do not be misled by those
programmes. In Colonies there are no warp drives , no transporters, and
no jump gate technology. Mankind has yet to voyage beyond the limits of
our own solar system, except for a few deep space probes and space stations.(although
there's no stopping one or two alien races stopping off here for one reason
or another). All written work should be submitted on spec after careful
study of the stories already published. Artwork should be submitted as
samples from which artists can be commissioned to produce work specifically
targeted to a particular story. Colonies has been designed to produce the
sort of stories which might one day form the basis of a new TV epic. It
will eventually be accompanied and promoted by a web site where the stories,
environments and characters created within its pages can be explored and
experienced by a world wide audience.
Tips:
This is an excellent opportunity to be published - if you adhere to the
guidelines and study the magazine - All but two e-mail submissions in the
last month were rejected because the authors had not bothered to read the
type of stories we are publishing. Another reason for recent rejections
has been authors not checking their science FACTS. A scientifically accurate
story is a pleasure to read, but if the science is wrong the story becomes
nonsense. If you create new scientific principles or developments they
should be based on sound reasoning, not just that they sound or look good.

to supply us with 4 or 5 good market pieces from your own area/ country

Travel features for magazines and newspapers world-wide
In
no other field of writing is the concept of knowing your market more important
than travel writing. So many publications carry travel features - either
throughout the year or on a seasonal basis - because of the advertising
revenue available that they need to distinguish their features from those
of their competitors.
So
is this bad news for the freelancer looking to make the maximum sales from
a single feature using guerrilla marketing techniques. Not at all, there
are only so many ways to present a feature about a particular destination
and the key to making those sales is to study your market place very carefully
to identify which publications can be grouped together for the same types
of feature.
Later
we will take a look at some of the newspapers world wide that use short
- 100 - 500 word features on travel destinations and which are virtually
indistinguishable from one publication to the next. But let's start with
the longer- 100 -3000 word features for specialist markets. Many of these
specialist markets either have sister publications or there are almost
identical publications in other countries. The features are often very
similar, even down to the way they are laid out because they are targeted
at readers with similar interests and often they pay very good rates.

Part
of the Yaffa Marine Group which consists of 8 titles aimed at a broad cross
section of the seagoing public and trade.
Editor
Paul Phelan, welcomes freelance contributions of a high standard. "But
beware," he says. "I can spot somebody who knows nothing about flying a
mile away. It is obvious in the way they write the piece. Even if the author
was only a passenger their is a sense of awe in their words that can only
come from experiencing flight in a small plane." All test flights and product
evaluations are handled in house, but contributions on all destinations
and general and technical subjects are acceptable from freelance sources.
If you can supply accompanying photographs so much the better but they
must be of professional standards. Black & white print or colour trannies
are preferred, but occasionally exceptional quality colour prints may be
used.
Short
news items about flying related events at particular destinations world
wide run from 100 - 200 words and do not necessarily need a photograph
with them. Longer features run from 600 - 2000 words though most destination
pieces are below the 1000 word mark, and Paul likes writing to reflect
the fun and enjoyment of flying (e.g.. In a feature about learning to fly
a sea plane - "You'll notice that although you're applying quite a bit
of power, we not actually moving relative to the bottom. Do you understand
the reason for that?" asked the instructor.
"I
guess it's because the wind and tide are against us?"
"Wrong.
It's because we're stuck on a bloody sand bar. You'll have to get out and
push.")
Most
destinations covered tend to be in the more exotic parts of Australia/New
Zealand - the outback, Snowy Mountains etc. - but they occasionally cover
other parts of the world. Try to tie in some local historical or interesting
character information. Provide details of where you can stay overnight
(address, telephone No, e-mail) and if possible a map.

Pilot
is an independent magazine published by the pilot publishing Company Limited
The
similarity between these two magazine from opposite side of the world goes
much deep than just look alike covers. Pilot carries the same types of
news items on the first few pages, although there are many more of them
and they cover gliders, jets, balloons and helicopters as well as single
engine planes.
Editor
James Gilbert says: "We welcome freelance work, indeed, the entire magazine
is written by freelance contributions, but we have an extensive set of
guidelines available from the editorial office which must be adhered to.
Make sure that all submissions are accompanied by captioned or labelled
prints or transparencies or other illustrations."
Each
issue contains one or two destination piece of upto 2000 words and illustrated
with up to 12 photographs a map and two side bars, one with information
about local flying clubs, airports and rental prices and the other with
general tourist and accommodation information.
Your
feature should not be too technical, being aimed as much at the interested
non-flier as the pilot. Often the author will have chartered on of the
local tourist flights rather than piloted himself so it is a slot perfectly
suited to all travel writers. If you do charter a flight make sure to include
all rental prices and offer an assessment of the flight operators.
Paul
wants all submitted work in hard copy with an accompanying disk in ASCII.
Response time 60 days. Payment £125 (US$200) per printed page text
