jwlee211: Give up your dreams and its a short walk to disappointment


jwlee211: I am needing some help. I want to enter three poems into a contest for Writer's Digest. Can anyone make some suggestions?
    Fireshadow: Hi jwlee, I recently came across a great resource that publishes an online weekly newsletter for writers with updated information on new markets (including freelance markets), grants available, competitions, jobs, publishers/agents and the like.It also has a direct link to Writer's Digest. Check them out : www.fundsforwriters.com Good luck ! Amarillys / Fireshadow -


jwlee211: Today I submitted my first manuscript to a publishing company. Now I get to wait like so many of you have done to learn if I shall wind up on the pile of rejection or if it will be accepted. Thank you to all the wonderful people who have provided feedback and comments on my poetry.
I would never have accomplished this task if a wonderful person had not prodded me into writing and offered support along the way
    Joan E.: Congratulations! Regardless of the outcome you should feel quite proud of the achievement. Best wishes with the publisher- Joan -
    Margaret Snowdon: Good luck to you, my friend - never be put off by rejections.
    Margaret -
    jwlee211: I am touched by the wonderful and supportive people here at fanstory -
    Ian Ayris: Best of luck. I'm in the same position as yourself, and I know the waiting is interminable. But just a part of the ride. All the best with the book and the fingernails. -
    jwlee211: I received a response from the publisher today. I have been assigned an Acquisitions Editor. I am very new to this process. I now have to write two paragraphs telling them why I want this book published. Is this normal? -
    Amfunny: Wow.. you got a quick response. Last week I received an email asking me to send three of my short stories to them after a YEAR. They said if you don't hear anything after 8 weeks then they probably are not interested. Now, a year later, they are asking to see them. Strange. Good luck to you!!! -
    jwlee211: I received a contract from the publishing company Tuesday for my first novel. Now the fun will begin. -

Interests
outdoors, music, great books
As a journalist, I witness some of the best in people and the worst. Writing provides me the opportunity to collect my thoughts and understand why the world can be so complex.
Thanks to a great friend for giving me the courage to write. I hope that one day I will be worthy of their confidence and praise.
Have submitted manuscripts so hopefully one day I will have a book.
