Hi, I'm Janet. I'm new here, which is obvious, I guess. I'm writing my first novel, and I need all the advice I can get. I've already been told to steer clear of PublishAmerica, so any other advice would be most helpful.

Welcome!

There's more here than any one person can truly absorb! Click around, see what you find. Just make sure you keep some time for working on finishing that first novel.

:welcome: Welcome to the Cooler. Start searching around the forum and I'm sure everything you want to ask has been answered somewhere around here. If you've got questions, ask. There's a bunch of great, informed people here who are more than willing to help. Good luck with your novel.

Welcome! There's plenty of advice here. There's the Basic Writing forum. The Novel forum (in which you'll find the wonderful Uncle Jim thread full of everything you'll ever need to know). Have fun poking around and don't be afraid to ask anyone for help.

Welcome to AW. I see that somebody already mentioned the "Uncle Jim" thread, which I've found helpful. Check out the forums, especially those in your genre, and you'll find good information.
