Re: Story Submissions: 4 of them
My first rejection letter in 2 years:
Quote:
I fell like i actually accomplished something because rejection means they at least read them. I need to work out some rewrites,I guess. I had some great suggestions about Bearwood and the Safe down in the horror writer's forum

Any suggestions from anyone (I'm looking at Rod, in case he isnt completely tired of people asking him to comment on their stuff) for suggestions on how to make them flow better, maybe my punctuation makes it read akwardly, the characters need more depth, etc.
Ah hell, here's all o fmy stuff. Feedback needed, I am looking to push heavily at trying to get published: i already posted 4 of them, but here is the whole shebang: Justice the Safe Bearwood Father Dillon's Funeral Abuse Absolution The Eating Tree Now, i dont want anyone to think that i am not addressing previous suggestions. In Absolution, there will be more torture. This was requested, and i admit, it is a bit light considering the circumstances. Rod had suggested an identity of somesort for the narrartor in The Eating Tree. i am still mulling this one over. I like the fairy tale feel of it, but i may do a rewrite with an assigned POV and then people can let me know which flows better. I loved Haunted's suggestions for Bearwood, and I think they will help clear up some underlying issues i always had with it. LEt me know what you think, though. This isnt just another simple pimping on my part (its a complex pimping :D). But i really would like some useful feedback.

Edit: Sorry, it was a website called "Antimuse". It is sort of a counter-culture site.

This site is probably not the sort of thing you're after :confused: http://www.lulu.com/uk but there may be a US equivalent. It's a site for 'on demand printing'.... If someone's interested in your writing, they'll print a copy and send it out. It could be a good way of getting your work seen. You can upload any manuscript and cover art you want to have published free of charge then people order 'said' book through the webiste, they print it on demand and then take the printing/binding costs out of the selling cost and you pocket the rest.
