The Secret to Being More Productive and Getting Your Writing Published Finally

The Secret to Being More Productive and Getting Your Writing Published Finally
Ever since I decided to post my Mr Tim Zak journey, I get tons of e-mails a week asking me about writing resources I used and still use to get all my children's books online. I am glad to share websites that I use to find synonyms, check grammar, or even look for rhyming words, but one resource in particular continues to be my number one choice for going from a struggling author to a top-rated best selling author. Whenever I am asked about these tools, I always say that the Writer's Market book is by far the most beneficial guide for getting published.

When it comes to rhyming books for children, this is a very competitive market and one that gobbles up writers on a daily basis. With so many websites, discussion boards, and forums for authors, you can get just about every opinion about how and where to get published if you look hard enough. The trouble with so many resources online is that you tend to get overwhelmed, leading to analysis paralysis. With the Writer's Market Deluxe Edition, you get up to the minute contact information for all the places that are accepting writing, regardless what type of writer you are. The book is packed with so much information in one place that you should have little trouble connecting with an editor, publisher, or illustrator.

I learned a valuable lesson when writing classic children's books, I needed to stop trying to reinvent the wheel and simply go with a formula that already works and just modify it to my needs. This book is the perfect gift for writers that you know or should be considered the bible of getting publishing for any author trying to breakthrough into publishing. Not only will you find places that are eagerly looking for new writers, you will save a tremendous amount of time just flipping through the pages and taking action! I still have all my Writer's Market books from previous years, and I am constantly using them to improve my visibility.

  1. I agree with you about this being an invaluable resource for anyone looking to get their work published. I started writing little greeting cards sayings that Hallmark actually bought from me. Had it not been for the Writer's Market book, would have never found so many places I can submit all my work.

    Today I make a nice living just writing for many different greeting card companies. Great post Tim Zak!
