INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Go through every line, looking for typos, misspellings, grammatical errors, awkward words and expressions, and cliches. You can go through looking for a specific thing, like spelling errors, and then again for punctuation errors, or try to fix everything at once. When copy-editing your own work, you will often read what you thought you wrote rather than what you really wrote. If you can, ask someone else to help you copy-edit your manuscript. A friend who also reads or writes fiction could help you see errors that you didn't catch on your own. Most publishers don't accept short stories, but many journals will accept short-story submissions. Many large publishers will not accept unsolicited manuscripts from writers without an agent, but some smaller publishers are happy to look at even first-time writers' works. Look around and find a venue that matches your style, your genre, and your publishing goals. There are many manuals, websites, and organizations dedicated to helping writers find a venue for publication. Writers Market, Writer's Digest, Book Market, and Writing World are good places to start. You can also choose to self-publish, an increasingly popular option for writers. Places such as Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Lulu all have guides on how to publish your book with them. and put it into manuscript form. Follow any guidelines set by your publisher's submission requirements first. Follow submission guidelines precisely, even if they conflict with information found here. If they ask for 1.37" margins, make your margins 1.37". (Standard margins are either 1" or 1.25", though.) Submissions that don't follow guidelines are rarely read or accepted. In general, there are some rules to follow when formatting a manuscript for submission. Create a cover page with the manuscript title, your name, contact information, and word count. This should be centered horizontally and vertically, with a space between each line. Alternatively, place your personal information -- name, phone number, email address -- in the upper left-hand corner of the first page. In the right-hand corner, put the word count rounded to the nearest 10. Press enter a few times and then put your title. The title should be centered, and may be put in all caps. Start the manuscript on a new page. Use a clear, legible serif font such as Times New Roman or Courier New set to 12pt. Double space all text. Left-justify your text. For section breaks, center 3 asterisks (***) on a new line, then hit the "enter" key and begin the new section. Start all new chapters on a new page, with the title centered. On every page except the first, include a header that has the page number, a shortened version of the title, and your last name. For print submissions, print the manuscript on high quality 8" x 11" (or A4) 20lb bond paper. Follow all the submission guidelines to the letter. Then, sit back and wait for a response! When you're submitting your story for publication, it's very likely that you'll get a few (or more than a few) rejections before someone accepts your work. This is totally normaldon't let it discourage you! Just because one publisher rejects your work doesn't mean that another will. Sometimes a publisher will reject a story not because it's bad, but because it's just not what they're looking for in terms of style and content.
