Hi, everybody;
I intend to get more serious about my writing and need some info on a couple of things.
I need to buy a writers' market guide--one of those books that lists various publications that publish poetry, essays, short stories, with info re: what kind of stuff they publish, payment, format for submissions, etc. Can anyone recommend the best such book(s)?
Also, I want to enter some poems, essays and short stories in contests. Googling for contests yielded too many options with no real way of knowing which ones were good. I checked out the Poetry.com website but didn't like it much. I seek contests with cash prizes, or those that can give a contest winner some exposure. So, can any of you savvy writers recommend anything?
Thanks!
Dixon
