    How to get published
    I have recently read your post on how to get published, but I couldn't post a comment on it so, I decided to post a question:
    What publisher did you go to see for your work? If more than one, what are their names or business companies?

    It depends on what you are writing. I wouldn't send my family cookie recipes to a fashion magazine or ask a publisher of children's books to publish my book on how to make wine.

    During a year's time, I wrote two articles about autism and approached an autism magazine to publish them (which they did). A magazine on parenting might have accepted them too, but I didn't try that.

    Many publishers prefer to publish books on certain topics. That's the first thing to research--who publishes what. The current edition of Writer's Market is what you need to look at. Your public library should have it. Then you need to put together a terrific proposal and direct it to a specific editor at an appropriate publisher.

    Does that make sense?
