Most editors need photos. Many expect them. Some won't consider a submission without them. Yet most writers send words alone — and wonder why they hear nothing back. The difference between a rejection and a publication is often simpler than you think. It's photos.
Inside Photography for Writers you'll discover how to:
Sell more words by offering photos — giving editors what they want
Take publishable photos using nothing more than your smartphone or compact camera
Supply images correctly with your submissions, first time, every time
Use your camera as a powerful research tool that transforms how you work
No camera? No problem. You'll also discover how to illustrate your articles even without one.
Most writers are sending editors half the package. This book shows you how to send the whole thing — and why that makes all the difference.
Simon Whaley's illustrated features — words and photos together — have appeared in BBC Countryfile, Country Walking, The Simple Things, Outdoor Photography, The Countryman, The People's Friend, and Writing Magazine.
Stop sending half a package. Start getting published.
