Intro to Writing/Publishing


The following are my notes on Darryl W. Perry's discussion at the Keene Activism Center on writing and publishing.

July 2012

Intro to Writing and Publishing:

How to Write an Article of Any Kind
  • Who
  • What
  • When
  • Where
  • Why
  • How / Solution

Ideally 400-600 words.

Free City Papers often need filler
  • needs to be somewhat interesting

Letters to the Editor should be under 200 words

WRITE ON A CONSISTENT BASIS
  • readers know when to go to you for new content
  • helps get writer into a routine


ALWAYS have someone proof-read 

ALWAYS offer solutions

WHO YOUR AUDIENCE???
  • General Audience
  • Voluntaryists
  • Politicos

Offer Solutions at the end

Create Space,
Lulu,
Smash-Words

LAVA = Libertarians Agorists Voluntaryists Anarchists = (Authors and Publishers Association)

  • Accepts Article writers?  No.
  • Must be in book form, author must be a LAVA


Invite Authors and Publishers to Occupy Public Places and Vend their Wares in Keene
