Extractions: But you can greatly increase your chances for acceptance by simply taking the time to research your intended market. By knowing what an editor prefers, or what intended audience a magazine is aiming at, or even simply knowing the editor's name - these things can help the person reading your query letter to see you more as a professional, rather than just another writer, who is currently submitting his piece to everyone in the yellow pages. Whether you are writing fiction or non-fiction, the research techniques are the same. If you are writing on spec (that is, not writing a piece that was specifically requested by an editor, but writing because you want to write it), then you must determine where to market your work. For fiction, genre and length are the primary determining factors. For non-fiction, topic matter, technical level of subject matter and length will decide where your article will sell.

Extractions: Researching your Topic on the Internet Once you have selected the topic for your paper, and have formulated an opinion or argument about it, it is important to collect as much information as you can that will be relevant to your paper and to supporting your argument.

With the amazing growth of the Internet, it is easier than ever to find a wealth of information on almost any topic. But, like any kind of research, to avoid frustration, you need to know where to look and how to begin your search.
