The Secret To Getting Published

The secret to getting published is easier than you might think. Those writers who have been published all have something in common. They got published because they thought that they could. A person can have the talent but still never see their name in print because they are afraid to take a risk. They falsely believe they are laying their life on the line. I honestly don't think getting published is everything. How about getting paid for what you write. Once you have received payment for something you've written you can count yourself as a professional writer. That's what I always wanted. I believed my work was worth getting paid for and it was.

What do published writers know about getting their work noticed have in common. First, they believe their work is worth being published and secondly, they never give up on their dream. I can't
stress enough how important persistence is in getting published. Inspite of many early rejection slips, I kept trying, compulsively mailing my manuscripts out to publishers until I finally found success. You can too if you want it bad enough.
