Third Assignment

Instructions for my third English assignment...


"Locate two websites that provide a response to at least one question you posed about your topic. Provide a correct APA style bibliographic entry for each. Then using the guidelines in the tutorial for evaluating websites, determine whether or not those websites are valuable to your project. Explain your findings."

The question I'm going to use in this assignment is the first one I posed about how to get a novel published. Here are the two websites I found that answer my questions and they are cited in APA form.

Parnell, R. (August 25th 2009). How to Get Published. Write and Publish your Book. Retrieved September 20, 2009 from http://www.writeandpublishyourbook.com/publishing/working-with-publishers/how-to-get-published/

Lovas, M. (publishing date unknown). How to Get Your Book Published - a Step-by-Step Guide. The Publishing Law Center. Retrieved September 20, 2009 from http://www.publaw.com/book.html

I think both of these websites are ones that I can use in my paper. The second article I cited was written by an actual ghostwriter (i.e. someone who writes books for the actual author) and author so he knew the "ropes" about the whole process enough to write an article about it. He also listed the books he'd written, the companies he's done projects for and the articles he's written. This makes this article a valid source of information to include in my paper :).

The first website I cited was more of a writer's community; there is a forum that fellow authors can go to when they're trying to get published for tips and there's articles written by numerous people in the community, many of them authors themselves, to help people out with whatever they need to do to get that book published. The author of the article I cited, Rob Parnell, has his own website here and it explains a bit about him and all of the work he has done, making this article a valid source of information to include in my paper :).
