Relax, it doesn't have to be a nightmare!
As a journalism student, I highly anticipate the day of my first publication. In the world of a writer it gives sense of legitimacy of acceptance into the field. However, I fear the publication process. I’ve heard countless horror stories of multiple revisions, time consuming and miniscule corrections, accidental plagiarism, etc. These stories make the publication process seem intimidating and ultimately frustrating.
After doing some research I came across some helpful suggestions that may reduce a journalist’s stress during this exasperating period of time:
Seek out the experts (Why waste your time otherwise?)
Recognize that a publication’s tastes can change (Research prior publications!)
Know that editors will vary (Don’t judge a book by it’s cover, excuse the pun.)
It is said that it is easier for a journalist to get published as opposed to a new author, because there are less publishing options and job can become easier to manage, with the help of these tips. For more information, visit this article by Marie Granmar below…

Your blog on Getting Your work Published had some very key points and I was able to spot them. However you might want to use bullet points for those whom may be newbies in this subject so that you work is clear and consice. Great job on the information though very insightfull and I like the way you posted a link so that those whom want to know more have a direct path to find it. Great Job!
