Authonomy writing community - Helping writers get published. Ranking of Literary Journals. I’ve become disenchanted with the whole notion of ranking literary journals, but I don’t want to delete this page entirely and disappoint the many readers who come here daily to discover new literary journals to read and submit to.
So instead, I’m radically changing the system. The list below arranges literary journals in order of how many times they’ve had a story or special mention in the last seven years (2007 – 2013) in the Best American Short Stories (BASS). My hope is that this list will complement Cliff Garstand’s excellent list at Perpetual Folly which ranks journals according to Pushcart Prizes over the last decade.
To some extent, I’m borrowing his methodology which gives a certain number of points to wins and a lesser number for special mentions (in BASS, these are the 100 notable stories listed at the end of each volume). On statistics: statistics is a epistemic methodology prized by our modernistic, science-obsessed world as the primary way to Know Things. Anthologies: Call for Submissions.

By Suzanne Harrison Harry Potter. The name brings instant recognition from people all over the world. The books have sold over 350 million copies worldwide. Only the bible has more translations. When Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published in 1997, Joanne Kathleen Rowling was a previously unpublished author. So how did she do it? The answer to that question lies not in what she did in those ten years between the publication of the first book and the publication of the seventh, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The answer actually lies in what she did in the seven years prior to the first book's publication. So if you're an author who is yet to be published, you're actually in the best possible position. Quite simply, JK Rowling followed a four-step writing process that you too can adopt to write your very own list of bestsellers. FREELANCE WRITING .

How to get started in Copywriting. Writing is a form of art that has mesmerized humanity for centuries. It allows people to express their inner emotions and release their imaginations upon the blankness of a page. Those that enjoy writing even find it therapeutic. However becoming an established author is a life choice that comes with a very low success rate, and so, if you have a passion for creative writing you may want to start out with something a little bit more stable.

The outline you'll complete using the 30-day method will become a snapshot of your novel.
After finishing a full outline, you should feel you've got the makings of an entire book (your story should feel complete, solid, exciting and satisfying) and you should be desperate to start writing the book itself. This first draft outline is the equivalent to the first draft of a manuscript. Because you've revised it so thoroughly, it will read with all the completeness and excitement of a finished novel. Using this outline to write the first draft of your book (which, in almost all cases, will be the final draft, needing only minor editing and polishing) should be so easy you might even feel a little guilty about it. All the hard work will already have been done creating the outline.
Your commitment to the 30-day method Despite its flexibility, the 30-day method requires a great deal of commitment from you as a writer. Does it mean you've failed if it takes you 90 days instead of 30?
