Hi all, Just curious. Does anyone know of any popular websites online that offers commercial-quality fantasy-type short stories? Doesn't have to be fantasy.....science fiction/horror/thriller/mystery/whatever would do as well, as long as it's high in writing quality and is really nicely...

From ValkyrieRaven: Thanks Valkyrie, I understand. This is the first time I see him here.:cool: From Stewart: Which brings to mind one thing : suppose that we intend to put up our stories on the web, we need to shorten them and present them in a different style, right? Because given the...

I'd guess you'd have to be a bizniss-man to do sumpin' like that! -------------------------------------------------------------------- LOL.......well, I've savings. ;) By the way, if you aspire to be a writier, you gotta change "bizniss" to "business" and "sumpin'" to "something". :D...

Hi all, I was wondering : I've all my ideas already, all my plots and plans etc. I can write the entire book out, but since I'm no god of English verbs, tenses, prepositions and word-plays(especially!), I'm thinking of hiring a ghostwriter to write the book for me. Mainly, the ghostwriter...

Hi all, After almost half a year from picking up a pen, I've decided to start writing again. I'm intending to self-publish a book this time and hire an editor to edit the book for me, mainly because while I've lots of creative ideas and plots, my English, although slightly better than the...

Hi! I've completed my book and web site. Now, can anyone advice me on the next step I should take? I mean, besides submitting search engines and trading links, how do I get my book known to the world? In your case(for those of you who've published and sold books before), what do you do...

Thanks a lot for your reply, Stewart and Demetrio! I'll take them into account. :) See ye', Xeon.

Hi Demetrio, It is a real book with a supporting website. :-) Thanks, Xeon.

Hi! I've completed my book and is now getting it online, on my website. Iin order for seach engines to list and find our sites easier and give it higher rankings, I need to enter relevant keywords on my web pages. Now, assume that my site is all about my book. My book is a fiction book...

Thanks a lot, folks! But I think I will stick to my original sentence. It's quite risky to assume that the reader has prior knowledge, so adding the "who govern destiny" will hopefully help to entice him and hive him some before-hand idea of what's going to happen. :-) Like Rigana, I'm not a...

Nah, that's missing the whole meaning. :) The original sentence was(I added the word "three" this time) : What happens when the three Norns who govern destiny decide to take a break? The original sentence means "what will happen to everyone when the Norns, whose job is to control fate and...

Hi. I have this little sentence which looks kind of confusing to me. I hope someone can provide me with a little grammar correction if need be. :) Here it is : What happens when the Norns who govern destiny decide to take a break? Just for your information, the "Norns" in the sentence...

From Motokid: Right. That's not an issue, really. :) My printing house offers refunding should clients ever feel disappointed or unsatisfied. That's quite an incentive to entice potential book vendors, in addition to the huge discounts. Ha! No, no. This is not the price I'm paying for "not...

From Motokid: In reality, the book is not ready yet. Well, the manuscript is done. I just need to wait for my artist and everything will be ready for sale. As for the web site, I'm still in the process of settling things with my new web host.(need to ask some questions first) If you like...

From MotoKid: Ha ha! That's the funny part. The publishing house accepts credit cards(from Mastercard to Visa to whatever crap) and even PayPal(also requires credit cards linked to your bank accounts). However, they don't accept wire transfers, checks or money order. That's the thing. If they...
