Yes, this is a no whining zone. (no whining from the author about criticism) A historical fiction series we've cooked up, after spending several months researching the thing. My husband put quite a bit of his family history in it (Sicily), and some from mine, though I had to switch islands...

*louspeaker sqeak* In this corner... weighing 5 pounds, three ounces... the stalwart pillar of traditional publishing, hardbound with approximately 320 pages, re-enforced with glue, taking up anywhere from 1/2 an inch to four inches of bookshelf space... the defending champion... The Paper...

Most ebook publishers offer 1-3 free chapters. Just google 'online ebooks'.

lmao... As humbling it is to have people point out yon inevitable writing errs, it is a far cry better than to witness the myriad of: "oh I luve yer work! *squeal* (heart heart smiley)" Thanks again for the sideways pointers; I am vastly enjoying my persual of the posts in these...

I incorrectly assumed you were speaking of paper and ink books being published, not ebooks. My apologies. I am merely pointing out that literature will remain, regardless of whether it be in traditional paper and ink, or in digital format. Therefore, it is not so terrible a thing for one...

Stewart, yes fairly done. I can concede my punctuation flaws. The only incorrect assumtion you made was 'self-publish'. Good college try, though. Indeed a passionate response. I am heartened that there are yet editors of your calibre.

Thank you Anne. Glad to be here among such excellent posters.

The ongoing ebooks debate.... Though it will most likely be moved here, there is a fun debate going on in 'Introductions' on ebooks VS paper-bound. I am pleasantly surprised at the level of dedication and passion on this board regarding literature and books as a whole. *much clapping* Please...

thank you Thank you for the welcome. I was gandering at your website... elegant and crisp. Earthy and incite-ful... its says 'yellow' to me *slaps myself* sorry. 'Marcello' looks like james dean would've if he'd acutally reached 40. Nicely done. Cheers!

Riddlin? LOL... Congratulations Stewart, you have the most desperate reply yet. Guilty, my post is designed to incite a passionate response, but you take the cake of 'Gah! nooooo... say it ain't soooo!' spiel. As far as publishers, we are in the process of publishing into paperback...

I just found this forum and am glad to see so many literary folk posting here. With my husband I write all kinds of fiction ebooks in several genres (mostly romance); my man helps keep reality ensconsed in the books and adds much flavor to the various characters. His books are (of course) the...
