"...Major points are graphically illustrated, and there is a helpful section on writers' frequently asked questions. For libraries short on video instruction material for would-be wordsmiths."

"Erik Bean's Writing for Publication will provide invaluable and practical guidance to those seeking to have their articles and essays published in magazines, journals, newspapers, periodicals, and online. Writing for Publication is a video transcript of the "Online Magazine Article Writing Workshop" and is a companion to the 115-minute video on feature and magazine writing (0-9665165-0-8 $29.95). From "Why Get Started?" to "Magazine Market Analysis" to "Art and Photography", Writing for Publication is a comprehensive, succinct, and complete "how to" workshop in a single volume."

"When I was on the board of directors of the Austin Writers' League, we  started a conference just to bring in editors from publications to meet with our members. Writers wanted access to these people and wanted to know what the editors wanted from submissions. This video went a long way in answering the questions the editors answered time and time again. It sure would save a lot of people a lot of time and frustration if they would pay attention to what Erik (Workshop Host) says in the video. 

One of the most important points the video makes is that "If you don't enter (the market), you can't play."  By watching the video people will learn how to play and, more importantly, whom to play with.  In between the lessons on how to write a letter and some specifics about common grammar, spelling and style errors, is some good advice -- like don't submit your queries to the largest national publications.  Look for niche publications and target them specifically.  You're much more likely to be successful. Good advice. 

The examples of query letters and response letters were excellent and realistic. You (Erik) could have gone on all day with the section on common style errors, etc. Glad you didn't, but you could have. 

Overall, I thought the video was viewer friendly, not too fast-paced and not too slow. And it wasn't one of those videos that bounced around all over the place."

" 'Writing for Publication' video is packed with information for beginning freelance writers. You may not need or agree with all of it,  but it's worth every penny of the purchase price.  I've been to workshops that cost hundreds of dollars, but didn't contain nearly as much useful information as this video. Two hours with "Writing for Publication" is worth a year in the School of Hard Knocks, but don't try to digest it all at one sitting. Take a break after each segment to let it all soak in."
