The Word in Writing by B.J. Muntain
Vol 1, Issue 15, October 27, 2004
Welcome to the Hallowe'en edition of The Word in Writing.
There are many different kinds of horror, from subtle to
overdone, terror-filled to 'ewww', and so on. Know your market.
Read an issue. Know what kind of horror they publish. Read the
guidelines thoroughly until you could argue about why you should
send your story to that particular market.
