Steven Holl

I'm new and unfamiliar with what levers to pull or buttons to push to make this work. Haven't done threads or chats or whatever this is. Hello. I have been a writer for many years: mostly memoir, poetry and some fiction. Most of my work has been in the context of spoken word "storytelling" pieces for schools, churches, and the like. I want to find out how to publish this work. I am also interested in general interest and travel writing, children and humor. Okay, so I mostly want to write short things that pay a lot and bring a modicum of fame. Not too much fame. Oh, by the way "Steven Holl" is not my real name. It's my clever nickname that I hope doesn't get confused with the real name of the popular architect of the Northwest. Anyway...say something.

Hello, welcome to the cooler! Not too many fancy buttons and levers here, but if you get confused, many willing helpers to tell you what to do! :)

Hi Steven, and I hope you enjoy it here. Your intro reminds me of the naming of Washington state. The local founding fathers chose that name over their first choice of 'Columbia,' because they didn't want it to be confused with the District of Columbia.

Don't worry--we can't name a single architect. Or couldn't, until now....

Hi Steven. Welcome to the Water Cooler. I'd never posted on a forum before I started here too. I haven't managed to blow up the boards with a misjudged stab of the forefinger yet, so I'm sure you'll manage too! :D Lots of help everywhere. Just ask. Check out the genre section.

Steven;
Thought for a moment Todd Rundgren had joined the forum. :roll: Anyhoot, glad to meet ya, and I can name lots of architects. :poke: The best way to push buttons here is to say how much you love and support Publish America.

Pushing buttons since 1960,
