Whoever believes in the business side of writing will agree that the dream of almost any unpublished writer is one day getting their 'task published. Getting their material read by the masses of people who love to read the subject. Then, getting paid for their work is second to that desire.



True writer has passions to write that seem to rise up from deep within. He or she will not put much consideration on whether money will be involved or not in the process of his of her creative. Words become a living entity that breathes life into the reader who read them.

This is fine as long as writer understand the important of putting pen off the paper once the project is completed and start being a businessperson. This mean that time spent creating the work should be charged to according hourly rate or the value of the work.

Publishing contracts and processes take on many forms and all are negotiable. Having your book tied up at a publisher who will take upwards of a year to evaluate your work, and possibly reject it, is like trying to buy a car while you wait for the salesman to decide if he wants your business or not. Besides, you wouldn't give someone a year to try out your couch before they decided if they wanted to buy it or not, so why would you do it with your livelihood?

A partnership with a publisher is indeed an essential joint venture between two companies. Yours and theirs. Your aim as a businessperson is not just hoping that they will like your writing and decide to publish. Your job is to decide if your product and their company is a good match and to allow them to do the same. Whether you actually got paid or not, if you have billed your research and writing time to your company, then you are coming to the table with a major financial investment in your hands. If you couple that together with your talent and your ability to view the world in a way that others want to explore it then you have a valuable commodity to do business with. Never feel inferior.

When was the last time you bought a meal at a quality restaurant? Did you make a purchase solely on the succulent explanation you read in their menu? Or did you do it because of what you just read in a magazine ad? Or from the letters you read in your mail that advertising everything from credit cards to antique? Those are all the works of a copywriter.
