If using MyISAM tables and never delete anything from them, INSERTS will automatically run in parallel to queries.
If you need to delete something from time to time, try to do it in big bunches and run OPTIMIZE afterwards.
MyISAM always locks the whole table. If you want to have row locks, ALTER the table to an InnoDB table. Also, tune your application by using the optimal isolation level then.
