Stop Writing For A Minute And Learn Editing
Because editing your writing on a professional level can change your life.
Yesterday, as I read Brian Rowe’s letter to his publication’s followers, I discovered there was a site called submittable.com, which allows people to submit to magazines easily. I found it as Brian announced that one of his stories had been accepted and will appear in print.
I’ve been struggling with this for some time now. I wanted to submit to magazines and didn’t know where to start. I did see a post on facebook a while ago, suggesting some magazines and listing their send forms or emails. I told myself I would check it out and I lost it.
A short time after I read Brian’s story, I also read Vanessa Torre’s post about Business Insider reaching out to her to syndicate a story.
I’m so happy for both Vanessa and Brian! They work hard and deserve their success.
Somewhere, deep inside, I asked myself when will this happen for me too. Is my writing good enough for venues outside Medium?
No, It’s not my writing. That is not my problem. I knew I had to take a step back. It’s time to evaluate my skill.
