The Art of the Book

Books are not words alone . . . This category focuses on book cover art and design, interior art and design, and the artwork that graces the pages of books - from children's illustrations to fine photography.

Publish!

Share your thoughts by posting your own content: an article about poetry or promotions, a current events essay, a bit of fiction that had to come out, advice for writers and publishers, video from your recent booksigning or event, images -- whatever interests you. We want you to get to the business of writing and publishing . . . now! This is not the forum for advertising your business - that is the "This Is What I Do!" article forum.

Ooo! Did you hear about that merger? I wonder if so and so is going to be publishing with them for long? Nothing malicious here, just news we all can use to further our writing and publishing careers. Remember - it's a community of helpers, not haters.

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.

No one listens to hacks like this. And for someone who is so "intolerant" he (or she) sure knows a hell of a lot about black comic superheroes.

This is the same kind of crap that keeps my material from even being considered by the bigger companies. That's okay, someday I'll be laughing all the way to bank. (If I can stay out of the poor house.) lol

Poets/Authors/Artists can express themselves through poetry, fiction/non-fiction, etc. it can be about love, racism, self-worth, just about anything you can think of. It can also be about eroticacy and other things, as well.
