3/4/2014

Not long ago I posted an article about book bullies in the indie world.

Sadly, it seems that book bullying has reared it's ugly head once again.
Author Rose Dewallvin has made a FB page and is inviting you to like and share! there is more information on the page. Let's do our part in helping to keep the indie world bully free!

Short Stories - 1000 - 10000 words
Poetry - under 50 lines

No tabs...no tabs...no tabs. Did I mention not to put tabs? Attach your work as an .rtf file and not in the body of an email. Attach your bio / images / covers and all other items that you would like to be included as additional files. The deadline for submission / consideration is always the last day of the month, unless we close submissions early.

New Additions!

3/1/2014

I have a few things I would like to share!
First, I have created two new pages since my demand has grown!
The first new addition is BOOK REVIEW! It is $1.00 per review and I review on content of story ONLY! I am no critic but an avid reader and love new stories! There will not be reviewing based on grammar, spelling and editing. This feature I plan to start taking submissions for in Mid March. They will be shared along all avenues as plugs and interviews.
The second new addition page is FEATURE NOVEL. This page will contain the cover and an excerpt from your novel as well as a few questions about the author and the journey of writing it and the link to buy along with a trailer if you have one. That will be a 1.00 charge as well and shared along the same avenues. I will be accepting submissions for this feature beginning in Mid March as well!
For the moment, I will be posting my first review and feature novel to set the pages in motion.
Thanks to all!

PEOPLE WATCHING! A blog by Gemma Farrow

People Watching even under the toughest situations!

How does any good writer improve their characters?
We 'people watch'. It becomes such a habit that we, as writers, do it automatically.
