WRITING FOR NEWSPAPERS
Sensible Words Which Young Authors
should Read---A Leaf From Tho
Experience OF n Popular Writer

tKdward W. Box in Ladies' Homo Journal. !,
am very frequently asked whe-
ther the newspaper is the best star
ting point for young authors, and
IN this question lies, in nine cases
out Of ten, grave misconception.
Many young writers believe that
work rejected by the monthly mag
azlne will tiud . market with the
daily newspaper. 1t seems to be
taken for granted that the same de.
gree OF care is unnecessary for news
paper work us for magazine writing.
1.-The newspaper dies with the day
the magazine lives for month, 4"
is the general feehng and hence the
impression that ephemeral work
will find ready market with the
newspaper.
1t has been my pleasure to write
for the newspaper press Of America
for six or seven years, and / give
Young writer's leaf from my ex-
perience when say to them-Do
not allow yourselves to believe that
minor work will find favor with the
modern American new paper.
There tx just rs IN Ich demanded of
o writer in the newspaper editor al
Office, AS IN that Of the msnthiy
magtZIuc. A writer commits the
greatest mistake of her life when
she looks upon the newspaper as n
graduating school to the mag izine
The same standard Of grammar and
expression set by the magazine holds
good with newspapers.
Who're the newspaper offers to the
young writer an advantage over the
magazine is in its wider field and
its larger capacity. Publishing
thirty times against the single issue
OF a magazine, the newspaper nat
urally absorbs more material and II
writer's chances are corresponding
ly better. Then, too, subjects
which are out Of the range of the
magazine fall directly within the
scope Of the newspaper. This is
specially true of timely articles.
The magazine Of to day, with their
Urge circulations and tie necessary
slower process of printing, are pre-
pared so far in advance as TO make
il impossible for them to get close
enough to timely happenings to
make their discussion Of them fresh
aad interesting. With the news
paper this is. OF course, different;
and it is precisely in it's ability to
Il eat OF what is latest and freshest
where lies its strength, aud in these
respects the fields necessarily broa-
dcned to the writer.
But bear in mind, this advantage
is only one Of greater capacity, not
Of less requirement. Disappcint-
ment can be no more certain than
when manuscript issent to news
paper editor with the belief that he
is less critical or that his cOnstitu-
ency is less exacting than is the case
Of the monthly magazine.
