- Introduce YourselfWas sent an invite. This is just the right time for it. I have two names to query. My MS is MG historic fantasy. Historic is my preference in writing. Ive done a lot of work in journslism, content writing and tech writing. Ive been published in two anthologies, news papers and on the web. Looking forward to the group.Like
- Query QuestionsHonestly?!!! How am I supposed to do that? I’m no one. I’m a wife and mother who works in a grocery store. I was looking for a Bible journal, but couldn’t find what I was looking for. So then I got the idea that if I couldn’t find the journal I was looking for, I would make one of my own. Then I thought, I could market this to help other Christians. And so my journey began. But now? :(Like
- Query QuestionsJust looking for very simple, non-explaining, formula. Everywhere I look on other sites, it gives reasons for this and that and I’m totally lost of what the formula is. All I got so far was… Table of contents. How your book is different than anyone else’s? Sample chapter or two. Why should I be the author? I‘m sure I’m missing something in the beginning and ending and maybe in between. Also, this is more like a writing journal than a reading book. Thank you! :)Like
