How to Have a Healthy Relationship with Your Medium Publication
Mind your P’s & Q’s. The interview isn’t over until you’re published.
How does a writer have a healthy relationship with a publication?
It’s a simple question and the answer is more complex than you think, especially if you’re trying to get publications to accept your work. If there’s so much good why are pubs spoken about so horribly?
Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about how bad, unpredictable, and moody pubs can be. I couldn’t wrap my mind around how something so good can be so bad until I became founder of one myself.
If you think pubs are difficult and hard to get along with it’s probably because you are offending them without even realizing it.
Here’s the best advice I can offer. Treat a submission like a job interview. If you’re a writer this is your business. Treat it like one. Don’t forget that you want their benefits and you’re not hired until you’re published.
Know your pub
Do you walk into a job interview before you know what the company is about? Probably not. Not if you want to get hired.
