Re: I am thinking of leaving site. (9 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Tamihanna, I've been looking for something else from you, but haven't seen anything come through since the initial two when you first joined. May I suggest that you join as many of the different groups as you can, and then when you publish a page, publish it in all those groups. There's a place to check them all on the publishing page. Check all the groups you're a member of, then update your page.
These groups still get me confused. I think the largest one is the Premium group. Anyway, try that before you leave. I enjoyed your first two stories. It could be they're just not getting seen. Good luck!

I am rolling in the floor laughing! This is too funny, Chris. People usually ask for reviews, and here you are asking for NO reviews. You made me laugh! Good luck with the re-write.

I'm interested, too, but like Randall, this topic is not my strong suite. If you list them here so we can pick and choose, there may be some topics I am interested in choosing.

I received the following official notification today from Moonshine Cove Publishing, and like what I've heard so far:
We like Two Roads to Sunday and think it will fit in well out with our publication plans for the rest of the year. If you are still interested in having Moonshine Cove publish your manuscript, we will send you our publishing contract for your consideration and signature.
Our plan is to produce a print edition, a Kindle edition and other eBook editions including Barnes & Noble Nook format. Your book will be distributed throughout the United States and in many other countries including most European nations, Canada and Australia. You would have the option of letting our cover artist design a cover for the book at no charge to you, or using cover art that you provide. You would also have the option of contracting with an outside cover artist if you wish. Our publication offer also includes free editing of the manuscript along with a written critique.
We look forward to working with you.
Best regards,
Gene

Re: To: All who reviewed 'You Only Love Twice' (18 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Bill, did Moonshine Cove say something about it being in first person? Just curious! Or, because of their rejection, you've come to that conclusion?

Re: To: All who reviewed 'You Only Love Twice' (18 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Bill, I personally love first person writing and do a good bit of it myself. There are some rules to follow, but to change from first to third is a daunting task and in the end doesn't always get the results you hope for. I changed my entire novel, Dance in the Rain, from 1st to 3rd for a particular publisher and still got a rejection after all that hard work. That novel was 3 years in the making. So if I were you, I would not be hasty to make sweeping changes in anything except the publisher! Whatever you do, though, will be a winner.

Thanks for posting this, Marilyn. Everything I read in this article (from 2013) matches with my experience with them since I signed y contract in June 2016.
How much marketing did you do on your own? When I spoke with him on the phone, he told me they would offer suggestions as to how I could help market the book for myself, but he told me they market for their writers, too. So just wondered how you handled it and how much effort you put into it yourself.

Re: YAY! (26 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I have no opinion one way or the other. I just thougt Marilyn might be interested since she was about go into an agreement with them and there are so many dubious publishers out there. Best of luck to both of you.
Ronald, I truly do appreciate it. It pays to check out everything before you jump feet first, and your information has made me do more research on them. Nothing conclusive, so we shall see where this road leads.
Peace to you,
MJ

Re: YAY! (26 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
The good news here is that I have options if all of this info proves true. Another publishing company, Sundown Press, has also accepted my book for publication, as well as Prairie Rose. So I definitely will find out all the details for all of them before I sign any contracts. I spoke with Gene, the owner/publisher of Moonshine, and he assured me he is not a vanity press. I will not pay a dime for anyone to publish my book because I self-published all my others and have done ok with them. I won't be able to buy my dream island retreat with the sales, but who knows what's to come?? LOL!
The info provided is well worth looking into, and thanks, Ronald, for the link. Nice to know before anyone signs any contracts. I appreciate the info!
