Writing No-Nos
There are certain things many authors do that murders their manuscript. These things can render your manuscript worthless in the site of any legitimate agent or publisher. Some of those no-nos are:
1. Undeveloped characters and/or storylines - if you're going to write, do it well. Take time to give your characters a life of their own. Make sure your story is not too short or too long. Make sure it doesn't leave any unanswered questions, unless of course, you plan to write a sequel or full fledg… Continue

About
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.

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.

@shay - find bloggers and ezines related to your subject matter and see if they will post reviews of it (or at least, blurbs about it) to their sites - it helps self-marketers to focus in our their interest groups and spiral outward from them.

My bio: Anita Diggs has worked as a book editor for Random House, Time Warner Trade Publishing and Thunder’s Mouth Press. She has lectured across the country on the topics of novel writing, book proposal development and how to get a literary agent. The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, C-Span, The New York Daily News have interviewed her. Columbia Journalism Review placed Ms. Diggs on their “The Shapers” list for the year 2000. The Shapers is a list of prominent New Yorkers who shape the national media agenda.
There are so many first ladies who are troubled and they cannot share it, they are ashamed, they portray happiness and what it really is, is called bondage; shackled, locked down, and straight jacketed. But today, I'm the spokesperson for all first ladies who can't scream out or who are screaming but no one hears them.
I encourage you to pray for all first ladies because all we're suppose to be doing is winning souls to Christ but so much other junk follows. My ministry is about first ladies praying and fasting together, though others are welcome to fast with us.
Be blessed!
Enjoy the rest of your day!
Thanks again,
Lady Bea Morgan
