At the beginning of September A.C. Hall, a writer for a small Texas newspaper, The Grizzly Detail, asked if I would write a short article on getting published.
So I did, and you can find it here on page 5.
See what happens when you procrastinate and trawl the internet looking for interesting blogs to read. I don't know why, but I think it's quite funny (not the article itself, because it is very, very serious as all articles should be, but the fact that it's an article and it has my name as the byline - I mean, ha!) - I think I've got rejection fever.

Very good advice and very well written, Cate.
If an editor asks for Windings, go elsewhere, they're insane.
Snarf!!!
Sage advice. Great stuff.
I just think it's hilarious that I'm giving advice.
Very well written. And not too formal...having read your blog for a while now, your voice was actually very much present in the article. Great job!
/agree Carrie. Hee!
An excellent primer-- I'll be linking that to anyone I know who asks, for sure!
Cheers, Barry & Katey.
Great article! : )
Thanks, Natalie.
I needed that 15 years ago when I sent out my first stories. Nicely done. I have it printed off and filed away with other articles on the industry.
That's so cool, Jamie. :)
Excellent advice, and kudos for you! How you have to love the internet--a fantasy writer from Liverpool writing a column for a Texas paper.
It's all too surreal... But then that's how I like life.
Heh. That's cool! Great advice for a writer starting out. I agree, any writer who isn't using duotrope or Ralans is missing out.
Excellent article, Cate. The only thing missing was a b&w pic of you looking all serious and writerly.
Oh, cool! Nice article! I especially like how you explained about rights. Good job!
First, Congrats on being asked to write for them and second, great article!
Love the tips.
Thanks everyone. :)
And Michael, no such photograph exists. I don't think it's even possible to take a serious photograph of me - I always look odd.
Friendly and informative; a great article, Cate!
Thanks, Mary.
