News For Writers
This weeks letter is in the form of a News letter. A little different, but variety is always good. Right?
Agreement Reached In Google Online Book Settlement
--------------------------------------------------
It was close, but Google and the Author's Guild just
managed to meet their deadline of midnight on Friday November 13 to
reach a settlement. Under the agreement the Google Books program
would only apply to books published in the US, the UK, Canada and
Australia as these have a similar legal heritage and publishing
practices. Any copyright holders who had their book published or
filed for copyright by the 5 January 2009 will be covered under the
new agreement. For more on this story visit:

About submitting to magazines.
It's always a good idea to read a few issues of the magazine you intend to submit to. Study the on-going theme and figure out who the audience is that the magazine targets, and you target it too. Make sure your article fits in all areas and your chances of having your work accepted will rise greatly.
Relieve NanoWrimo Hand and Wrist Tension
-----------------------------------
To relieve tension in your hands and wrists, begin by holding one
hand in a fist in front of you; slowly open each finger in
sequence, then close slowly in sequence. Repeat once slowly, then
repeat once quickly. Repeat the entire sequence with the other
hand. Finish this exercise with both hands held out in front of
you and repeating the above sequence.
Next, hold both hands in front of you, limp-wristed. Circle one
hand clockwise slowly several times, then counter-clockwise slowly.
Follow this quickly in each direction. Repeat with other hand,
then with both hands.
Lastly, with your hands held in front of you, separate and
straighten your fingers until you can feel the stretch. Hold this
position for ten seconds. Relax your hand, then bend your fingers
at the knuckles and hold for ten seconds.

How's NanoWrimo going? Relax, it's almost over.

Comments on "Invalid Entry"
Submitted By: sarahreed
Submitted Comment: Thanks so much for going over what Prior Published means. Most of my work up right now is just practice writings; but when I get serious, I'll make sure to follow your advice to protect myself from being disqualified from submission.

Submitted Comment: Excellent piece. Thanks for the informative and highly relevant update.
Submitted By: Catherine Hall
Submitted Comment: This was really informative. I hadn't understood the importance of avoiding the 'prior publishing' tag. For me, the more views, the better. I have a poem approaching the 50 views mark so I'd better get busy.
Thank you all! I'm glad the issue was informative.
