Lit Journal General

Sweet, thanks user. This will be helpful.

I don't normally do this. I also worked briefly as an assistant editor at a literary journal and it wasn't that common.

Good luck, reasonable stranger.

You son of a bitch. Who'd you sleep with?

Lots of people, but no one in the literary world who has helped me at all

>good and marketable
You underestimate how much the second part of that detracts from the first. And really, what the fuck would you even know about the problems with publishing if you only write books for kids?

I read some of them.

Children's books have to be published, sold etc in exactly the same way as other books. There is basically no difference. They just end up in a slightly different part of the shop.

But you're right about the good versus marketable issue. That's the balance writers have to find - it's obviously difficult to be both. Unless they don't care about getting published, in which case none of this is relevant.

any other great resources for us aspiring writers out there?
