Where can an amateur poet submit work for publishing? I'm eighteen and living in Toronto, ON Canada at the time being. I've won a few creative writing contests at my school, but I've never pursued writing farther than that, and I'd like that to change.
So my question is what are some magazines, papers and/or contests that I can enter to start building a name for myself? |
1) always use your real name when submitting.
2) post some of your poetry here for point-blank, down and dirty critiquing.
3) develop a tough skin for the rejection slips...they make good wallpaper.
4) when you think you're really ready, net poetrykit.org...but not now...editors can tear you apart, or be nice...make sure you have a tough skin first.
5) learn 'patience' as fast as you can...some say 'response in 2 weeks', then at the 2nd month you may contact them....

Are there any opportunities for amateur scientists in the world, today ? I have been submitted materials to the Citizen Scientist, and they are helpful to the understanding of the natural world.
I realized that performing projects and research would be able to benefit mankind and possible to start your personal company or industry. Nevertheless, it is hard to have a paying job in the world, unless you can start your own freelance or self employed business. Althrough I have a Bachelors Degree in General Biology, I still enjoy studying biological topics.
Therefore, I hope that there are some opportunities for amateur scientists in the world, today. |
What about writing and publishing it yourself?
My method was to learn about designing a website to attract readers to the articles I've written about meteorology. You can even figure out ways to make a few dollars from those readers (through advertising in my case).
I even wrote one about my story at...

| You are better off writing two copies sending one to a publisher and mailing the other one two yourself. This way the copy that is mailed to you is dated by the U.S. Post Office and unopened. This will prevent someone from stealing your material. Good luck. |
I am an amateur writer and I wish to submit an inquiry letter to a company and need advice. Can anyone help? Any help first or second hand knowledge would really be appreciated. |
| I'm assuming that what you want is to ask a publisher if the company would be interested in an idea you have for a book. Get a copy of Writer's Market (the most recent one) and How to be Your Own Literary Agent. Together these will tell you just about everything you need to know. Follow their advice and good luck. |
