Welcome to
Author. This on-line magazine is dedicated to writing and
publishing and the creative process in general. Every month you
will find video interviews
with best-selling and exciting first-time authors, and book reviews,
both fiction and non-fiction.
We also
feature
articles
by new and established writers. Focusing less on craft and more on
heart, these essays deal with the daily struggles and inspirations
of writing.
Our
editor’s blog is a monthly offering from our Editor-in-Chief Bill
Kenower.
We are
also teamed with The Pacific Northwest Writer’s Association.
Members of the PNWA may visit our Writer’s Corner (due to launch
this summer), which features useful how-to articles as well as
up-to-date publishing news. If you are not a member, please visit
the
PNWA’s website. For only $65 you will have access to the above
site once it’s operative as well as a reduced fee for Pacific
Northwest Writer’s Conference, one of the oldest and largest
writer’s conferences in the nation.

Articles
We
are looking for two types of articles.
First
are how-to articles. These can range from how to write more
believable villains or how to research prehistoric man to how to
give a good pitch at a writer’s conference. These articles should
be between 600 and 1,000 words.
The
second type of article is about the emotional, inspirational side of
writing. This could be anything from what first motivated you to
write to how you’ve dealt with rejection or success. We are always
looking for interesting success stories as well. These articles
should be about 750 to 1,000 words. We pay $50 for both types of
articles.
If
you have an idea for an article, please email a query to
bill (at) authormagazine
(dot) org. Please include a brief description of
the article and your writing credentials. We will get back to you
as soon as possible whether we feel we can use it or not.
Be
aware that for the how-to articles we are almost always going to
choose writers with publishing experience or experience in a
particular field; that is, if you are writing about, say, police
work and you are an ex-policeman.
Book
Reviews
If
you are interested in reviewing books, please send a short sample of
your work (a 250 word review,) a list of publishing credentials, and
the types of books you are most interested in reviewing to
jeff (at) authormagazine
(dot) org. Reviews pay $30 per review.
