If you’re truly
serious about being published, you’re going to have to put some time, energy,
and yes, even money into that endeavor. Trust me, we’d all like to think we

biz is built on networking. And while it’s possible to create valuable contacts
online, there’s still no substitute for an in-person meeting. That means you’re
going to have to get to some writing conferences, and those aren’t cheap.
