Shorts: A Gateway Into New Markets
by Colleen Foye Bollen
Shorts: A Gateway Into New Markets      This book guides you through the "nuts and bolts" of writing short articles for magazines, business publications, and newspapers. This timely resource discusses how to condense volumes of material, cut unnecessary words, use strong verbs, limit adjectives, develop a solid focus, and stick to the assigned word count.
     Shorts: A Gateway Into New Markets explains how writers and editors both benefit from this trend towards shorter articles. It outlines strategies for targeting specific publications and tells writers how short articles can be transformed into other money making opportunities. The book covers market research, ways to develop positive relationships with editors, how to deal with writer's block, and a variety of other topics.
     Colleen has published over 200 articles in numerous regional and national publications including Sunset, Buzzworm, GRIT, Mothering Magazine, New York Family, Northwest Travel, Seattle's Child, and Seattle Magazine. She also conducts workshops at writer's conferences and writer's clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest.
