:hi:
Just wanted to say hello. I am new here, but not to writing. I've been putting words to paper since I was a kid. Have always loved to make up new worlds for someone to explore because mine was so dull. Ya know, the typical kid growing up in rural Vermont. I have not been published, yet! I am in search of an agent. Thought I had one, but turned out to be a scam. Live and learn. I have navigated around this forum and found it quite informative. Thanks for all the good info out there for I am still green.

Hello - This is your newest cooler mate: John Patrick Grace. I'm exec. editor of Publishers Place, Inc., a 501-c-3 not-for-profit publishing consortium, 945 4th Av. Bay 206 Huntington, WV 25701 See our site (now being revamped) at www.publishersplace.org Also the owner of Grace Associates, LLC, Editors & Publishers. Same address. We are in the process of folding the assets of G-A into Publishers Place.
We publish usually on author-subsidized basis but we are far, far, far from being "a vanity press." We put our authors through the proverbial hell n' high water before they can be published under one of our imprints. Sample books (check also on Amazon) Father's Troubles by Carter Taylor Seaton, To Love Mercy by Frank S. Joseph. We also develop and pitch books to traditional publishers. See The Inner Game of Entrepreneuring by Ronald E. Guzik, The Pretenders: Gifted People who Have Difficulty Learning by Barbara P. Guyer, and White Witchdoctor by John A. Hunt, M.D. We also publish anthologies of poetry from West Virginia poets, and soon we hope, anthologies in other genres. On the art/gift side see: Cat Book, Dog Book, and Saving Magic Places by Emily Eve Weinstein. Thanks for letting me be part of the forum. J.P. Grace

Not where you think
Hey Stacey. Welcome. I'm still a little green around the edges too, but I think it was just my lunch. :welcome:

There's an entire section devoted to rooting out the scam artists. Bewares and Background Check will keep you from getting ripped off again.

Best of luck with the writing.
