Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Five Hundred Places to Sell Manuscripts: A Manual Designed for the Guidance of Writers in Disposing of Their Work
It has been the purpose Of the compiler of this book to produce a manual that would aid writers in finding a market for their work. This aim would not be fully accomplished if merely a list of publi cations that buy literary material was given. Consequently, a brief synopsis of the classes of work used by each is included, with a statement of the general or maximum length of articles. But it will be well for writers to keep in mind that the maximum length is rarely the desirable length editors look with much more favor on shorter articles, as such will enable them to make up each num ber of their publication with a greater variety Of contents.
Send type-written mss. Whenever it is possible. This has double the chance of acceptance that the best pen work will have. Some publications have adopted the rule Of reading nothing but type-written manuscript.
