Writing for the Newspaper.
I uui vory frequtjntly iwked whether
the uuwKpaiw is the beat starting point
for young authors, and in this question
lies, in nine cases ont of ten, a frrave
misconception. Many young writers be
lieve that work rejected by tho monthly
magazine will find a market with the
daily nuwsnaimr. It seems to be taken
fur grunted that tho same degree of care
is unnecessary for newspaiier work as
for magazine writing. "The newspaper
dies with the day, the mugaziue lives for
month,1' is the general feeling, and
hence the impression that ephemeral
work will find a ready market with the
newspaper.
It has been my pleasure to write for
the newspaiMir prees.of America for six
or seven years, and i give young writers
a leaf from my experience when I say to
them, do not allow yourselves to believe
that minor work will find favor with the
modern American newspaper. There is
just as much demanded of a writer in
the newspaor editorial office as in that
of the monthly magassiue. A writer
commits the greatest mistake of her life
when she looks upon the newspaier as a
graduating school to the magazine. Tfce
eame staudurd of grammar and expres
