Cover: John Caldwell. Outdoor Writing Today, by Loring Wilson. The opportunities in outdoor writing are as big as all outdoors. Wilson, who has made over 200 sales to outdoor magazines, shows you the nature of writing for the field: from the basic how-to to the lengthy conservation series. And while the market may seem to have masculine overtones, Rae Oetting makes it clear that the outdoors can be as profitable for women as it is for the guys. See The Great Outdoors: It's a Woman's World, Too! on page 18. When these articles arrived at WD, senior markets editor Doug Sandhage drove his camper to New York for a fresh report on The Big Three outdoors publications, and came back with a catch of lesser markets as well. Result: The Outdoor Markets: Big Game Small, on page 19. In these writing fields, there is no limit. John Jakes Has a Fever. A Writing Fever, by Kirk Polking. For John Jakes, the Bicentennial year wasn't red, white and blue. It was green. With 3 paperbacks among the New York Times' Top Ten in one year, he writes at the speed of a chapter a day. Contributing editor Policing caught Jakes at his home in Dayton, Ohio between chapters. Getting Caught in the Middle, by Helene Schellenberg. There you are, sailing along the jetstream of your story beginning, when suddenly -- no wind. This is a middle story sag. But there is a way for your characters to sail toward a "happily ever after." Schellenberg tells you her way. The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Freelancer, by Allen Grasso. "Pure" freelancers, for whom writing is bread and butter, are an endangered species. But here, Grasso (admittedly only 99.44 percent pure) explores why they will never die out. Never. Poetry Without Rhyme -- Or Even Thees and Thous, by Jean Conder Soule. Avoid rhyme/ Avoid meter/ Haiku's short/ Haiku's sweeter. The Craft of Writing Craft Articles, by Nancy Jackson. Craft magazines need articles, original and specific (right down to the millimeter). Anything from how to build a house for your pet aardvark to making sourdough bread. And the dough involved is anything but sour. Who But a Newspaper Promotion Writer Would Write' About Rape, Mail Out Chunks of Green Cheese, and Recruit an Army of Twelve-Year-Olds? by Roger Myers. Give up? Hint: He was in the circus business.
