manuscript X? huh? Ya lost me.

Hi all! An author is holding a writing contest based on his series with cash awards. I thought one or two people on here might be interested. Where should I post the information?

Bash on! TJ may have signed up as an author. I'll have to ask to her. The printing side of the literary industry is not my forte obviously. You know, with PA, the company I work for was started by a publicist that worked for a different company and when she started out, she contacted every...

Good point! I like the way you think!

I agree that you can't always trust a self-published work which is why I attached the address to the website. I assume you both went to the website and saw the first chapters posted online. I like Alan's writing style and I hope he gets picked up by a traditional publisher soon. marycathie...

New Fantasy Series I know of a newer fantasy series that fits the genre you are talking about. The author is Alan Coleman and his series is called Quest of the Seal Bearers. His first book is called Book 1: The Warriors Return and the second has just been released called Book 2: The Five...

I don't know exactly how much T.J. is being charged but she was advised by Lightening Source to put a $11.00 price tag on a 100 page kids book. I do agree that $3.36 is a good price for a book with 200 pages. You have a good set up for making profit and still having a competitive cover price...

Pod I'm glad you have had good luck with the Print On Demand set up. I find that Lightening Source still charges rates that are too high to be competitive. For example, I am friends with T.J. Perkins. She has a 2 book series, a 5 book series and another book that is the beginning of a...

Publish America Publish America authors struggle to be sure. I agree that the program is set up in a way that authors are scammed continuously. Anyone I know who considers them, I tell them to run the other way screaming if they must. The only point I disagree on is that bookstore managers...

Reading this again, I can see why it was turned down for not being original enough. Gosh! I'm getting all inspired to write again! I hope you all get as much of a rush as I do on this kind of thing! -Sabrina

Fin: Meridian's Story One day as he was plowing, the lizard Phillip was working with became spooked. Phillip walked around to the front of the plow and tried to calm the panicked beast to no avail. The beast refused to be calmed and bolted. Phillip had not detached himself from the plow...

Part 3: Meridian's Story Phillip’s eyes popped open. He groaned, rolled over and tried to fall back asleep. Even as he lay there, he knew sleep was far away with no intention to visit again soon. Phillip had dreamed about the book. His dream was vague and unsettling. It was full of visions...

Part 2: Meridian's Story Gerald could hardly believe his luck. He was sure he was the only boy in town to get something from someone famous. He let out a whoop, and ran home as fast as his young legs would carry him with the medallion firmly clasped in his hand and the book stuffed deep into...

This will take a few posts in this thread for the whole story. It's a terrible title but I just can't find my muse for that. I'll take any suggestions a reader wants to give! The genre is fantasy. Be gentle dear reviewer! Wow. Gerald couldn’t think of anything except this single word...

Secret ambition I am a publicist by day and a dreamer by night. I don't have the time right now to finish anything I have started but I have half of a novel written, one short story that I submitted but which was rejected because the idea wasn't original enough (Supposedly the writing was...

Blog link The link is in my signature below. Thanks!

Welcome! I'm rather new as well so good luck with the forum! I hope you find some good books and enjoy your visits! In my signature there is a link to information about the publishing industry but I have a link there to reviews of books I've read -or the lastest post my husband read...

masked man? OK, I think I'm missing an inside joke. Does everyone know who it is already or are people really curious and want to know? -Sabrina
