One of the things we seem to be getting a lot of lately, is requests on how to make your dream of being a writer come true. There is no magic formula for getting published. It isn?t like assembling a piece of furniture. There are no directions written out that will guarantee you success if you follow it exactly. What works for one author will not necessarily work for another. And each author seems to have their own ways of doing things. It?s another one of those pesky, what is right for one person isn?t right for everyone things that so often crop up in life. Still, if it is your dream then here is some places to look for help.
There are lots of books available at your library or bookstore and how-to?s on the Internet. Here are some good links to check out.
Especially check out the SFWA (Science Fiction Writers Of America), has a very good section on scams to watch out for. No one should have their dreams stolen by unscrupulous people.
