@Doug Lance – Suggestion. In the Profiles section, add a text field to link to one’s Amazon Author Page (or on other provider sites).

@Doug Lance – Please visit this screenprint http://storytechnician.com/temp/efm/a-css-glitch-1.jpg . I did not take time to highlight the problem with a red box, but just look at the bottom of the page. That happens in the current version of Firefox and Chrome. I did not test in IE.

Doug LanceThanks Buck! The notification plugin we use is a big buggy. How does it look on your end now?

BuckThat fixed the bug. Now I get the entire window.

Hi everyone-
I’m new here, my name is Kelly. I’m a professional editor and proofreader based in Toledo, OH. I’m looking to build a solid clientele base, as well as help out published AND nonpublished authors. I don’t charge an initial reading fee, and my rates are very reasonable (I started this endeavor in order to help, not hurt!). Please…[Read more]

Welcome Kelly! What other projects have you worked on?

Kelly ThompsonI started my editing aspirations as an MA student, as I helped to form and publish The Mill, the only literary magazine based out of the University of Toledo Press. I’ve edited drama manuscripts for individual clients, and done copyediting and/or proofreading at the professional academic level for five years now. I’ve had poetry published in…[Read more]

James DarrowWelcome aboard, Kelly. Here’s hoping you enjoy your stay here at eFiction. I might find myself in need of your specific skill set somewhere in the near future. Working on my first novel manuscript; the first draft and a couple rounds of edits are done, but I know I’ll be requiring some further help in the future. Either way, until the time comes…[Read more]

Thanks, James. Feel free to email me anytime – kelly@script-up.com, or k.a.thompson6@gmail.com.

James Darrow
I still have, at the very least, one more full sweep of edits and revisions I need to handle before I move to the next step, so it’ll be some time. That said, I do appreciate the offer and will keep your email handy.

Preston McConkieHi and welcome. I joined just yesterday, but already I have been treated well by people and I’m excited to work with folks. It’s great to meet another experienced editor, and it looks like there are a lot of people with some great professional and academic training in h ere.

Savanah Little posted an update in the group Poetry Lounge 2 months, 2 weeks ago
I would love to get your opinion of my latest poem. You can read it at
http://savanahl.hubpages.com/hub/Sweet-Memories-A-Poem
I really would like your critique and not just fluffy comments. Thanks.
-
Lisa Vandiver
Hi, I liked your poem. I liked that it covered more than one emotion. It has been hard for me to get out of the ’mold’ of thinking that poems should ryme with each line, but I liked how your poem flowed, though it didn’t ryme througout the poem, it was a well written poem that evoked sweet memories of days past, and of sweet memories being made now.
-
Savanah LittleThank you Lisa for your comment. I don’t usually write poems that rhyme. In this poem I tried different rhyme schemes to break up the monotony, i.e. rhyming every other line instead of every line and also vowel rhymes such as butterflies and time. Anyways, thank you for your feedback. It really helps.
-

Marie Glendenning
Hello Savanah. I liked Sweet Memories the first time I read it and even more the second time I read it. In particular, I liked the way your words painted pictures, used one image to describe another, and invoked childhood memories. Its form is a little unstructured but I don’t think this subtracts from the overall enjoyment it provides.
-
Savanah Little
Thank you Marie. I felt there were a few lines that were a bit unstructured and could use a rewrite. Thank you for your honest opinion.

Thanks for creating this group. Hopefully we get some poets signing up. I’d love to read other peoples thoughts and writings.

Josh BlevinsThis is a neat idea. I’d love to post some of my poetry here soon.

Lisa Vandiver
Thanks, I have some old poems that might need revitalized. This will be a great place to do it, nice idea.
-
Lisa Vandiver
Can we just post them here on this site, or do we need to post them on our blogs and list the link here?
-
Savanah Little
I’m sure we can just post our writing here. The only reason I didn’t is because the site that I post to does not allow me to post the same work anywhere else. Hope that helps and I look forward to reading your poems.
-
Lisa Vandiver
Oh, thanks, I’m a bit nervous about it now. Some of them are poems that I wrote many years ago, I put them into a book of poems and published them to Smashwords, but haven’t had any comments on it as of yet. If they need work, then I definitely will pull them and rework them.
-
Savanah Little
Well I would love to read some of poem and give you feedback.
-
Lisa Vandiver
Thanks, I’ll gather them up, and pick out one and post it. I’d like to eventually post them to see what I can do about improving them.

Hey Doug, is there a way for me to find poets on here other than clicking on each individual person’s name to see their profile?

Hello everyone. I’m new here at e-fiction and as I look around it seems like a very nice community of writers. I’m a poetry writer and decided to submit a poem here, and I was shocked to hear back today that e-fiction will be publishing my poem in next month’s issue. I am very excited! This is my first piece ever published. Thank you e-fiction!
-
Doug Lance
Not only are we just publishing it, it’s going in the very front of the issue to accompany a dedication.

Savanah Little
That’s so amazing! Thank you so much.

@Doug Lance Hi Doug. I subscribe to the Kindle version of eFiction and have some questions.
I’m aware that https://kindlepublishing.amazon.com allows a person to make their blog available for subscription through Amazon to their Kindle owners, automatically pushing subscribed blog posts through to the subscribers Kindle device (for those of you…[Read more]

This is Amazon’s official page: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/kindle-publication/feedGuide-new/KPPUserGuide._V162800941_.html#
But it isn’t very user-friendly. Here’s a template that should cut some time off the learning curve: http://www.mediafire.com/?7t334otp62wdrb4
Let me know if you have any questions.

Kindle’s lack of support to publishers (including self-published authors) has been like that since Kindle 1.0 (and I’m among those who paid almost $500 for that model, and Kindle 2).
Thank you for the links.
And just so you know, with consideration of my full-time college semester that begins on Tuesday, I’m more than happy to volunteer my time…[Read more]

Doug Lance
One of the great things about how eFiction is set up is that people can volunteer to do whatever they like for the magazine. So wherever your strengths lie, be they in reading submissions or marketing or editing or whatever–just let know and I can get you set up!
-
Buck
Regarding story, my strength is in analysis (which will become evident from my comments on Steve’s work), followed by editing (that’s because I prefer analysis to editing), and then I have an array of Adobe skills (InCopy, InDesign, Photoshop). I do not want to work with code such as PHP, HTML, or CSS, (because it’s yucky), but will help test…[Read more]

Randy Attwood posted an update in the group Coffee Shop 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Got involved in an odd discussion about art and profit:
@Randy – next time you write something, track hours spent. Track time spent writing. Track time spent revising. Track time spent formatting and doing other tasks. Track time like you were a consultant sending an hourly bill for your work! It’s important to know how much each project cost…[Read more]

Doug Lance
ROI is tricky when it comes to writing. You’d almost spend more time tracking everything and recording it, than it would be worth. I keep a spreadsheet of eFiction’s income and subscriber numbers, so I know if the chart is going up fast, then I’m doing the right stuff. If the chart is going up slow, then I need to rethink what I’m working on.
-
Ryan DorrillThe way I look at it is, I enjoy doing writing. It’s something that, at least in moderation, I would do for free. Getting paid for it would be awesome, but in the meantime I’m happy to just work on what I work on and try to get it out there. A lot of good writing comes from people who truly enjoy it, as opposed to those who are forced to do…[Read more]

With all the changes on the board I thought it best to reintroduce myself. It amazes me that in six months of doing epublishing I now have nine works live on Smashwords and eight on Amazon. What an interesting adventure, which I’ve tried to chronicle on my blog, and I still can’t get used to saying ”my blog.” randyattwood@blogspot.com

That’s under the ”Other” tab.
I get the impression Doug does not necessarily want to link to author’s pages judging by the ads…I think the ads without links are a great idea btw, and I suggested something similar to someone who is starting up in pub…I used your e-Zine as a good example of a well-formatted e-pub btw…
Thanks Alan! Somehow I missed this note.
