I don't know if I exactly fit in this category, but I have recently finished my first novel manuscript. Which right now is hidden away while I am working on my second one :) . Unlike most of the people here I don't really like editing, and it doesn't take me that long to finish a story. Once...

Hey everybody, thanks. Yeah I think I've just about completely steered clear of self-publishing. It seemed interesting but the upfront cost of it and then not knowing what type of marketing the book will get or getting professional advice on the manuscript kind of makes me want to go the...

Not really :o. Honestly, I think because this is my first book I'm trying to avoid the rejection if it doesn't get so far as off the editors desk in a big publisher. Right now I'm telling myself it's because it's not in Canada, I don't know how it'll work, what is their terms on copyright...

Well, I'm finished my manuscript (boy changing normal document format into book manuscripts are a little hard,) and I have also revised the book (not as much or as good as I wanted to but *shrug*) and I have around 57,000 words. Now, sigh, I am facing quite a dilemma; I don't know how to...

Thanks guys! Yeah I do, that's why I posted this, it's my big party :)

:) I don't really know where to post this, but I just finished by book! I feel really good, even though it's just the hardcopy I have done and still have to go over the entire thing, at least it's all done!! :D Right now the word count is at a pretty small number of '48682,' but I know for...

Thanks, I'll do some more research on my own! (I think I found a decent publisher just within driving range as well!)

Gabbers, I didn't expect too many people to even know about them! I must be young :( I just assumed they were an older group because it's my dads CD 'No need to argue', lol, and he's pretty old (listens to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin,) Hmph, I didn't think they were doing anything in the...

Hey, does anybody else here know about or like the Cranberries? In my basement there's this box of a lot of cd's so I just took a bunch and burned them to my itunes. So far I've fallen in love with every Cranberries track I've found! Kind've an older group, but still *shrug,* just a thought...

Contemporary and Alternative. :)

Hmm, I'm just trying to put off revising as much as I can so.... here is something I wrote up... I think it's poetry :confused: If it's terrible, then just kill me. :) Kill me. No, don't kill me. But please, kill me. Kill my mind. Kill my soul. Leave my body alone, It has not done...

I know this question may have been asked before, and that several publisher relating questions have been asked, but I was just wondering, from a new perspective. What type of publisher should I approach? I would love to have a hardcover book, but I'm not too sure how I would go about asking...

Hey everyone, still quite new here but since this is a big thread and seems important I guess I would like to pop my head in and say congratulations to Stewart in becoming a mod! :) I've honestly read through all five pages and geezer, I still can't get to finishing my second review of my book...

Whoa! I didn't even know about OpenOffice! I just downloaded it last night when I read your reply, and even though it doesn't look the same it does have all the features and yeah, I love the fact that it can read my word files. Thanks a lot, it's helping! (I decided I'm going to try and add two...

Thanks eyez0nme! Really appreciate it.

04/03/49: 8:15AM Thursday Christopher jumps awake. His eyes swing from side to side. He feels a warm, thick blanket over him. He is in a bed. He is in a bedroom, somebody’s house? Who? His mind is racing as to what situation he could be in. He starts breathing heavily aand his heart is...

There is nobody there. “What the ****?” One of the officers’ speculates. He is the first to approach the car. He looks under the car, inside and under the seats of the car. He still can’t find anybody there. “Where is he?” The officer demands. “That fucker’s good. He probably ditched the...

Sigh. I just ran out of my trial version of MS Office 2004, which I had no idea would impact my writing so much. It turns out the nice layout and everything gave me some kind of incentive to hack away at my keyboard! The first two weeks were amazing! I did at least two thousand words a day, over...

Thanks everyone! That is basically what I needed to know, thanks! The thing is I wasn't feeling too good with the tense I was using and *sigh,* I went over the entire first part of my book editing 'said,' with 'says,' and etc, losing about six thousand characters but in adding the...

Hey, I was hoping I could get some opinions on writing style before I go completely crazy. 1. "Hi Sarah, I'm Jordan." Jordan says. He extends his hand. Sarah looks at him awkwardly. "Um, I'm busy." She replies, pushing away his hand. Jordan feels crushed. 2. "Hi Sarah, I'm Jordan."...
