1. Get a book called "The Writer's Market," current edition, and read all about how to write queries, synopses and book proposals. Learn 'good' from 'bad' in these areas.

2. Study the market you wish to publish in, with an eye on an agent to help you.

3. Read in that same book about agents: you want to learn who is accepting unsolicited queries in the fields you write in.

4. If the first thing you must do is publish in a magazine, be absolutely sure you read several issues of that magazine (at a library) so you know with certainty whether they would print your work or not.

5. If you find a magazine, or agent, to send a query to, practice the queries until they are exactly as you want them, and send them with an SASE for a quicker response. Always use the current editor's or agent's name, and be sure of addresses.

*6.* Do your best to get an agent who works with the kind of pieces you write. Since you have already published work, this work should also be prepared for an agent to look at, because as you may know, they like to look at previously published work.

7. Everything I'm writing here is also found, through study, in the first section of "The Writer's Market," so I again suggest you get that book and use it wisely.

Best of luck in your endeavors.
