Product Description

You’ve revised, received feedback, and revised some more. Now how do you get published? This 2-disc DVD set and 191-page printable ebook, guides you through each step of the submission process.

Gain knowledge of prose markets—from glossies to zines. Dissect magazines to discover their editorial sensibility. Listen in as top editors confide their turn-ons and turn-offs. Master the art of cover letters. Hear "survival" tips on managing rejection. Learn about literary agents. And read published stories. An encyclopedia of market listings is not enough. This DVD set gives you insiders’ perspectives on the world of publishing and increases your odds of publication.

And writers John McNally and Joe Meno share their experiences with submitting work. Hear how they persevere and keep their names in print, balancing art with commerce in their writing careers.

Whether the writer is a student submitting her first story or essay, or a parent typing up a novel after the kids go down, or a retiree fulfilling a lifelong dream, every writer will benefit from seeing what the pros have to say about the submission process. Elephant Rock Productions is thrilled to be offering this digital learning tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Motivational Tool, October 26, 2005

By	Nicki Brouillette - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a graduate of a writing program, it seems that most "publishing tips" are either naively enthusiastic or cynical to the point of being disheartening. This DVD has found the line between the extremes, demystifying the publishing industry while offering advice on writing. Finally, we can not only hear magazine editors talk about what they want from prose, but we can actually read the evidence of their choices in the digital anthology. The market listing is just as helpful as the editor/author interviews. After watching the program, you're left with no excuse NOT to submit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical insider tips, September 18, 2005

By	Michael Burke "ChicagoWriter.blogspot.com" (Chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Submit!" features the most useful and practical advice on writing and publishing that I've ever found. You hear it straight from working editors and published writers themselves. Plus, because "Submit!" is in dvd format, you can easily revisit any conversation you're especially interested in -- and several are worth re-watching again and again. The advice here is more fresh and lively than dozens of how-to books.
