Tuesday Tiredness.

This is how I'm feeling this morning and was feeling last night. I think I've been studying and writing too much. I'll take it easy today and read, (about Creative Non-fiction) of course!

Here are some tips for contributing creative nonfiction to magazines:

• Read the guidelines: Always follow the magazine's guidelines for length, format, topic, and more. 
   
• Format: Use a standard serif font like Times or Garamond, double space, and use 11 or 12 point type. Include page numbers. 
   
• Proofread: Proofread your work and have someone else proofread it too. 
   
• Cover letter: Include a cover letter with your submission. Keep it short and professional, and focus on the creative work. 
   
• Include extra ideas: Consider including an extra idea or two at the end of your query. 
   
• Research: Research what the publisher wants in advance. 
   
• Be aware of submission restrictions: Some magazines may have restrictions on the number of submissions you can make, or when you can submit.
