Someone told me long time ago: "Only YOU can make yourself a writer." This meant that only you control whether you put words to page. But once you've gotten those words down, what to do with them?

Erika Dreifus, a.k.a. "The Practicing Writer" has just the resource for you. It's a three-book set, fully downloadable and super helpul.

  • The Practicing Writer's Guide to No-Cost Literary Contests and Competitions: Updated and expanded in Winter 2008, this Guide details 275 possibilities to pursue that won't cost anything--except a bit of time, effort, and, perhaps, courage.
  • The Practicing Writer's Directory of Paying Essay Markets: Designed especially for essayists, this resource offers information on MORE THAN 125 paying markets (print, online, and anthology). It's not a "how-to" guide, but a reference guiding you "where-to" submit your essays and get published (and paid!).
  • The Practicing Writer's Directory of Paying Markets for Book Reviewers: Perfect for both the aspiring--and experienced--book reviewer. Profiles more than 90 print and online publications that pay for book reviews (and publish their rates/terms online).

    Erika has donated the whole set. All you gotta do now is B-I-D.
