Chances are, youll be busy over the next several weeks. Between preparing for, celebrating, and unwinding from the holidays it may be difficult to maintain your regular writing routine. And if researching potential homes for your work is part of that routineas it is for many of us who regularly submit stories, essays, poems, articles, and reviews for publicationyou may be worried about falling behind.But its time to put those worries to rest. In truth, there are many ways to keep up with your market-hunting over the holidays. Here are just four possibilities:1) When you visit friends and family, peruse the magazines they may have on their coffee tables or stacked in their recycling bins. They may subscribe to some that you dont receive. Who knows how many new markets you may discover? (Just be sure to ask for permission before you start rummaging!)2) Be bold with your gift list. If someone close to you should ask what you might like for the holidays, go ahead and say it. Go ahead and tell that person: "Id like you to bring me/send me all the magazines youve received for the past six monthsand havent yet thrown out." That person wont need to shop, and you will be able to spend the rest of the winter researching markets.3) If youll be traveling, take advantage of any complimentary publications that may come your way: inflight magazines, morning newspapers at hotels, and so on. Again, these may provide you sample issues for markets that you havent considered before.4) If youre visiting anyone out-of-town, stop by the local library, and check out the magazines the library keeps stocked. Its quite likely that youll discover someespecially regional publicationsthat you wont be able to research as easily back home.Can you think of other possibilities? Add them to the list! Happy holidays, and happy market-hunting.(c) Copyright 2004 Erika Dreifus. All rights reserved.
