Overview
A revised and expanded version of a reference showing writers of all kinds how to take full advantage of Internet technologies and resources to improve skills, increase sales, and build recognition. Now including a CD-ROM with more than 2000 online resources for writers, this guide explains how the Internet is changing the writing business and how the Internet itself has changed. Experienced writers should discover how to develop new methods and find new markets, while beginning writers should learn how to use the Internet to build skill and gain expertise. Each chapter highlights a particular aspect of the writing business and shows how it has been affected (or can be improved) by the Internet. This revised edition covers: how the dot.com boom and bust of the 1990s affected the online writers' market; legal decisions regarding electronic rights and how they have impacted writers; an assessment of the e-publishing market; making e-queries to online editors; formatting and submitting manuscripts electronically; protecting your work from piracy; using forums and bulletin boards; promoting your book through links, networking and other connections; starting an e-zine and building a subscription base; and more.
