. As an expert on the subject, you should work closely with artists to make certain such graphs are correct to every detail.Photographs known as photo illustrations can do the trick. Photographers will pose the subject matter as an illustration and it is presented with your article. You should attempt to tie these in with references to such illustrations in the text of your article. An alternative is to label parts of the photograph through the cutlines or legends under the photographs or to identify parts of the subject of the photograph with identifications using lines or arrows. Collaborating with copy editors, graphic artists, informational graphics editors, photographers, and page designers makes the total package work better. The tasks of writing and preparing artwork for howto or other service features should be team efforts if possible. Most editors and artists appreciate, but often simply require, the advice and assistance.Popularity of Service Articles and BooksThere are countless howto books on the market, many that have grown out of original newspaper or magazine articles. A quick look at the Writer's Market shows a large number and wide variety of publishers involved in producing these specialty books. The 1998 edition presents nearly a fullpage (p. 1072) containing hundreds of listings of both major and minor publishers who consider howto manuscripts.Page 348SELFHELP NONFICTION THAT SELLSSan Francisco Bay area writer and psychotherapist Eric Maisel (1993) recommended an 11step selfhelp program to writing selfhelp articles and books. These are his suggestions:Getting Ready1. Identify a workable and compelling issue.2. Frame appropriate questions to give focus to the project.3. Serve the reader as a mapmaker, not an expert.4. Reframe problems as challenges for motivational purposes.Building the Book or Article5. Decide on the structure of the project in terms of general information, individual stories, and selfhelp strategies.Writing the Book or Article6. Provide examples, vignettes, and illustrations.7. Use available research.8. Create classification schemes to help convey concepts.9. Offer workable strategies to readers.10. Describe available resources and support services.11. Look to the future to tell readers where they can go from here.Specifically, another popular magazine and newsletter category in recent years has been selfhelp or selfimprovement. The 1998 Writer's Market also contains a section listing three publications, including The Healing Woman, The Monthly Newsletter of Women Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse and the bimonthly magazine Psychology Today, which seek manuscripts on psychology and selfimprovement. The section describes the demand for these types of articles: "These publications focus on psychological topics, how and why readers can improve their own outlooks, and how to understand people in general. Many General Interest, Men's and Women's publications also publish articles in these areas" (p. 607).Howto audiotapes and videotapes are also popular, with these evolving from articles and books on personal development subjects (exercise and stress management), sports subjects (golf and tennis), and personal finance (real estate and stock market investments).Page 349Lists as Service FeaturesIt is not unusual to find standalone lists in contemporary newspapers, magazines, and newsletters. However, you can enhance your service feature by combining the best of the narrative article and a listing. The listing thus becomes a sidebar or remains a major portion or purpose for the article. These approaches are often given titles such as "10 Richest Women in the State" or "Five Steps to Losing Weight Overnight." Newspapers such as USA Today have capitalized on the curiosity aroused in readers by such lists. Combining the USA Today staff talent for inviting graphics, these lists often are provided as a visual feature for readers.To be successful at listings, you have to have a creative energy for research. Compiling lists often requires multiple sources in different locations. At other times, information may be found in one place. Listings must also be current and timely. To provide the service to readers, they must be given the most recent and current information available from the most authoritative sources. Therefore, your list is also the most accurate.Newspapers, magazines, newsletters, and online publications that publish listings are often considered authoritative sources on their own and find their published lists cited and reproduced elsewhere. The Chicago Tribune, for example, has recently placed more emphasis on kidsoriented feature content in the newspaper. Editors are aiming at the "tween" ages of nine through 14 in particular. Each Monday, the newspaper devotes a portion of every major section of the newspaper to kids' news. As part of this coverage, kidsoriented articles explain current events, offer advice, provide lists of information, and provide a number of other services not found elsewhere in the newspaper. Among the lists commonly used are those that give readers, both young and adult, ideas for things to do during the week.List information is used in many different ways. Readers like to keep them, turning them into "refrigerator features" that are clipped and stuck on the refrigerator door with a magnet or piece of tape. Some lists can become publicity sources for the publication, too. For example, many morning drivetime radio program announcers like to pick unusual listed feature information out of their local newspaper or news magazine to read to their audiences (e.g., David Letterman lists, best or worstdressed lists, and topattended movies of the past weekend).Most standalone lists are short and to the point. These are usually a top 10 or top 12. Too much information is usually not retained norPage 350read in listed form. Thus, a brief list of the top 10 busiest airports might be appealing, but a top 100 becomes useless and overly thorough unless it is part of a major project or a complete list of all the elements in a group and the detail is necessary. Most published lists are presented in tabular form. Tables are quick and easy to read. Paragraphed information of the same kind is just not as easily skimmed and understood.ArtofLiving ArticlesArticles such as selfhelp or selfimprovement are part of a broader category of service articles called artofliving articles [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
