To find publisher you can submit your articles to, you can simply visit Google and enter a keyword phase that describes your target market (e.g. business owner) plus work newsletter or ezine: +"business owner" +newsletter

2. You will become known as an expert on topics you write about. This will give you and your business extra credibility which will help you compete against your competition.

3. Your article might also be placed on publisher's home page. If they publish each issue on their home page this will give you some extra exposure.

To make it easier for publisher, provide also an URL to a web page with your article on it. The easier it is for publisher to use your article, higher chances that they will do it.

6. You might get extra income from people wanting to hire you to write other articles, books, or even ask to speak at seminars. This is a great way to multiply your incom^e.

7. You could allow ezine publishers to publish your articles in their free e-books. Since people give them away, your advertising could multiply all over internet.

BUZZZZ (This would be my alarm clock, because I’ve been dreaming!)

My book may be done, but work has just started.

There are various types of publishers: some are large commercial houses, while others cater to niche markets. You (or your agent) must find appropriate publishers for your book, based on genre, whether it is fiction or non fiction, intended audience, etc. To locate a publisher, you may begin your research at your local library or bookstore. Here you can find books which are similar to yours and appeal to your target audience. The publisher’s name and address can usually be found in front of book. Once you have a list of possible publishers, you can continue your research by visiting their web sites, where you will look for submission guidelines, whether or not publisher accepts unagented or unsolicited queries and a list of editors. If web site does not include a list of editors in house, find a copy of Literary Market Place reference guide, which contains a list of publishers and their editors. If you can not find an individual editor’s name, do not send materials to that publisher. With so much incoming mail, a package addressed to “Editor” or “To Whom it May Concern” will most likely be thrown away, unopened. Save your postage.

Include an introductory letter which is informational, no more than one page in length, to point and professional. Tell editor if your work is fictional, non fictional, include a sentence or two summarizing book and then a brief summary of your credentials. Do not make claims that your book will be next best seller, or comparisons to other works.

It is acceptable to submit your work to more than one publisher at a time, however, do not submit to more than one editor at a publisher at a time. If one editor passes, do not resubmit to that particular publisher.

Fiction

An editor, sorting through thousands of submissions a week, does not have bandwidth to receive, store and read entire manuscripts. Instead, you should submit a story synopsis (spoilers and all), a sample of your writing and a resume.

1. Story Synopsis - The synopsis should be concise and include a complete description of story. An editor does not have time read your entire manuscript when evaluating your submission, so you need to lay it all out there. Don’t tease or drop hints that there is a terrific surprise ending.
