About the Book

Synopsis

Confession is good for the soul—and for your bank account!

Lorraine Henderson now earns a five-figure income from writing—all from writing short stories needed by the many confessions magazines that are published every month. But it took several years and many rejections before she learned how to write a salable story.

Now you can benefit from Lorraine's expertise—and it's easier than you think! If you watch the news on television, read newspaper accounts, or listen to neighborhood gossip, you too can find a heart-wrenching, emotion-laden, ore even humorous true story that can be turned into a sale to confession magazines. You can even write stories based on your own family and experiences. Lorraine guides you through finding the right story, how to tailor it for the magazine readership, what elements a story must have, even how to tell it.

Included are the actual guidelines for each magazines and interviews with editors and authors. Editors tell you, in their own words, what they're looking to buy—and why! Each author explains how they broke into this exciting and steady paying market. After you read this book and read the confession magazines, get out pen and paper or go to your computer—and get ready to start selling your stories.

Written in an informal and easy to understand style, Lorraine wastes no time getting to the heart of the matter: what it takes to sell a confession. Her insights into this specialized world are invaluable, as are the many examples she uses as illustration. I wish this book had been available when I first tried my hand at confession writing.
