Heh, yeah...Monster Ivy. I tried submitting there a few years back. My stuff is a little on the edgy side. They had manuscript submissions. I received a rejection in less than 24 hours. I don't even think they bothered to read the manuscript. One can only speculate as to why...

Never cross the streams.

I provide the highest quality drivel available in print.

If you're talking #PitMad, then yes - don't bother. It is a system that is loaded with cliques and flooded with tens of thousands of people posting pitches. And the space allowed isn't large enough to do the pitch justice. If you really desire being published traditionally, go through the...

My next book, THE WIZARD'S STONE, comes out March 3rd. Right now, it's in preorder. It has typos in it (hence the motivation for another post I put up). Typos that I might normally fix, and push to the distributors (especially seeing that no one has a copy of the book yet), except I'm scared...

I saw the word "Ludefisk," and instinctively retched. It was almost...Pavlovian...

Did you ask her how much she made on her writing annually? Does she give her writing away? Is it personal gain to make money with your writing? I am seriously tired of the high-sounding platitudes thrown around as profundity. Wasting a gift given to you by God is just as bad as using that...
