For Those Just Getting Started

Starting out as a writer can be painfully difficult. Team And More is here to help!

So you want to be a published author?

You’ve put some words down on paper. You’ve edited the crap out of it. Your prose is elegant, the action explosive. The plot is intricate and the characters heroic.

What do you do now?

Where are you going to send that lovingly crafted story? Who will publish something from an author with nothing to their name?

Enter Team And More.

You know you want one of these patches!

Team And More is “…the author version of the opening act at a concert. The new guys, the up-and-coming. The folks with not quite enough of a following to get our name on the cover of our own book or an anthology (yet!).” If you’ve ever picked up an anthology and seen a list of three or four big name authors and below that “And More!,” that’s what we mean!

But getting to that point can be hard. Where do you submit? How do you submit? What are publishers looking for? What are some good resources to help new writers?

Sam Robb has developed Team And More into a tremendous resource for all of those things. On the site you can find:

• A regularly updated list of anthology open calls

• A list of freelance editors

• A list of publishers, mostly for Sci-Fi and Fantasy

• A number of helpful resources for new writers

• A link to the Team And More Facebook group, where we share information on upcoming open calls and have discussions around many different aspects of being a writer

Like I said, this is a great resource, and completely free! If you’re searching for advice, help, or somewhere to submit your story, check out Team And More!
