You’re finished. Your mind is spent and you’re exhausted. It’s finally done. You’ve put the finishing touches on your novel, cut the scenes that didn’t move the story along, and corrected all spelling errors. You sit back and breath a sigh of relief. All of those hours put into it…*sigh*

Now what?

This is the part of the process that every writer fears. It’s time to shop your masterpiece around. You know it’s a masterpiece but will anyone else? Where do you start? How will you start?

The best place for any writer to start, novice or professional, is at Writer’s Market.com. These are the same folks who put out the annual 2008 Writer’s Market Book. Their online resource is an indispensable means of matching your work to those agents/publishers who may be interested. Their listing are updated regularly and kept extremely up to date. For a small annual fee (currently $29.99 USD ) you can research contact information, submission guidelines, etc. A true “must-have” for every writer!
