How to Sell Creative Nonfiction Essays
Essay writing is an art. It is a characteristic that is not innate to anyone rather nurtured throughout the learning process from infancy until the adult age. Writing a creative nonfiction essay needs a vast vocabulary that will lure the reader and its concentration levels because the main aim of a writer is to continuously engage the reader with a strong build-up and attractive vocabulary that defines the whole scenario with the utmost precision and clarity. Therefore, if a person is able to do such hard work and entice the reader’s attention for long with fascinating vocabulary, he has the right to make money with his work because an art shouldn’t be attained for free and writing a creative nonfiction essay is a very unique art that not a lot of people possess. Moreover, if a person knows something like he owns it; he should never do it for free.

First of all in order to sell these creative essays, you have to contact a publishing organisation that has vast reach and encompasses all your target market. You might come across different magazines that cater to your need but you must not select that medium which doesn’t solely deals in your genre. Research strongly at internet and shortlist the publications you want your piece to be published.

Meet the representatives of the shortlisted publications and show them your piece. Discuss the whole background of your writing and don’t forget to mention the highlights of your writing because the main thing that a representative would like to know is the theme of the article along with the depth with which it is expressed and illustrated.

Compare and contrast the offers that you have received from each publication. Publishers will put a price tag on your writing and you will have to decide whether to accept it or not. If you think, they are fairly pricing your hard work than you should accept the offer otherwise make a counter offer.

Don’t rush the decision because haste makes waste. Take your time to analyse the offers. You should always prioritize the publishers. Hence, if the offer of the second priority publisher is better than the top priority one but you believe that the reach of your writing will be greater in the latter offer, you should calculate the opportunity cost and decide.
