 About
This Issue
March/April
2005
Welcome to our 26th
issue of Vision: A Resource for Writers. In this issue we have several
wonderful articles on the fun and necessity of doing research. We also
have a wonderful interview with writer Rachel Caine. Also be sure to
check out the truly wonderful web review by Ariella Elema.
I am happy to announce that Vision:
A Resource for Writers tied for third place in the annual
Preditors and Editors Readers Poll under
the nonfiction magazines/ezines' listing, and the editor tied for eleventh
in the magazine/ezine editors' listing. Forward Motion came in second
for Writers' Forums! Thank you to everyone who voted!
And again, thank you to all the
people who have written articles for Vision over the last few years.
You have all been inspirational and helpful!
Below are the themes for the rest of the 2005 issues. Remember
that theme articles are only a section of each issue, and I am always
interested in any writing related article. Read through the issues and
you'll find an eclectic mix of material. Most writers have something they
can impart to others, and all of us have something to learn.
Upcoming Themes:

Openings (Deadline April 10th)
Getting off to the right start can make the entire difference in a sale.

The world of publication has changed drastically with the advent of the

#29 Celebrating Genres (Deadline August 10th)
Romance, fantasy, sf, mystery, horror and more -- the world of genres is

favorites and what do those genres included?

#30 Character creation (Deadline October 10th)
Characters can talk to us in our heads and keep us awake at night, but

And remember that I'm always
interested in any writing-related articles!
