A Writer's Guide to Publishing
Vickie Jensen takes us on an odyssey of self-publishing; Sandra Jenssen discovers the book of publishing is being rewritten; Nancy Wise tells us how to get it out there once we've got it; and Linda Crosfield does it awl. And, as publishing is so angst-ridden we have a trio of advice articles: Fernanda Viveiros's Advice to Aspiring Writers, Voices of Experience by... well, people who have been there and done that, and finally, but not least, our own praying mantis of the writing world, Dear Cecilia, fresh back from eating her publisher… er, her mate.
