Okay, eFiction-ers, help me pick out a cover for my upcoming eBook: http://unspywriter.wordpress.com/2012/04/14/choose-the-cover-of-my-new-ebook/
You could win a signed post-card contained a 100-word story by me. A big draw, I know.
Thanks!

@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 LanceThat’s under the ”Other” tab.
-
Alan W JankowskiI 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.

@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.

Thanks 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.

Preston McConkie mentioned @mammon in a public message@mammon Hey, man. Thanks for accepting the friend invite. I’m enjoying your story, ”Corporate Monsters.” I left a lot of comments on the manuscript. The story seems to have some real life and I’m eager to discover its underlying plot.
-
Preston McConkieOops, that last message was meant for someone else — the one about my uncle in Wisconsin.
-
Kyle DameronI really appreciate you taking all the time you did to read over and leave all the helpful comments. It’s also good to know that you’re enjoying the story! Thanks again!

Preston McConkie
My pleasure. I’ve been asleep all day but look forward to getting back to ”Corporate Monsters.” The man-eating bug-man really has me interested.

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]

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 McConkie
Hi 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.

Here’s an article I did for my local newspaper, where I’ll be a periodic features writer.
-
Randy AttwoodWhat a well done story, Phyllis. You are exactly the kind of writer I would have hired when I was managing editor at mid-sized paper. This is award-winning writing. I really mean it. I’ve judged plenty of journalism contests. And you don’t know how important doing this kind of reporting will be to your fiction writing. I commend you.

Congratulations! I worked as a newspaper journalist for 16 years. Best writing experience I could have had. I was managing editor of a mid-sized paper and can tell I would have loved to work with you in my newsroom. Now I have to clog this up with a self-promotion, but SPILL, a political comedy, has a lot of newsroom and newspaper personalities in it.

I do this thing every Friday called Friday Fictioneers–someone posts an inspiration photo, and a bunch of us write a 100-word story based on it. Lots of fun. Take a look at mine here http://mymusings-maggie.blogspot.com/2012/02/tgifriday-flash-fiction.html and click on the link included in the post to read others. And you can always join us next week!

Consider helping my indie writer friend, Jennie Coughlin, hit number one for short stories on Amazon. Her book, Thrown Out, is excellent. (I reviewed it in the December issue of eFiction.) And the good news is, it’s free! http://www.amazon.com/Thrown-Out-Literary-Collection-ebook/dp/B005LKKU0E

Please help my indie writer friend, Jennie Coughlin, hit Number 1 in short stores on Amazon by ”buying” her book, Thrown Out. It’s free through noon tomorrow. http://www.amazon.com/Thrown-Out-Literary-Collection-ebook/dp/B005LKKU0E

D.L. MarriottIt sounds good. I actually paid for it, but I don’t consider 99 cents to be a hardship. I can’t wait to read it.

Phyllis (Maggie) Duncan
Thanks for buying. It’s short but sweet.

Preston McConkie
It must be doing well, because the price is now $2.99. Sorry I’m so cheap right now, but I only have $10 in the bank.

Richard S. FreelandI know where you’re coming from. I just finished reading a Joe R. Lansdale story (“The Stars are Falling”) that I’ve read at least 3 times before, and everytime I read it I can only say, “Wow!” I only hope that one day I can write in such sparse but descriptive language and resonate with my readers like this story does with me.

Steven M Moore@Richard, Chandra, you’re focusing on the style and the techniques. I focus on the stories. No one can tell the stories I have bottled up in me just waiting for the time to be poured out into fiction land. Maybe not quite as good as an aged Irish whiskey (I’m just half Irish), but I still have to tell them. A reviewer of one of my recent…[Read more]

I’d choose the skulls photo.
The skulls won, hands down, but I couldn’t establish who held the rights to the photo so I could get permission to use it. It appeared to be public domain, but I couldn’t nail that down to my satisfaction, so I opted for something else. But the skulls rocked that cover.
