Hi, all!

I discovered AW when I first began writing around seven years ago, and I just wanted to thank the community for all the valuable information here. Between the "Learning to Write with Uncle Jim" threads and the B&BC section alone, you guys have probably saved me several thousand dollars' worth of writing courses and payments to Publish America and the like. So, thanks!

I recently decided to self-publish through Amazon, so I'm going to start a thread detailing my journey in the Self-Publishing area of AW. Hopefully, my experiences will be of use to others. It's my humble attempt to give back to the community. That, and maybe sell a book or two :D

Welcome!

Welcome gray
I would like to read your suggestion on getting published.
I am newbie to this writing community also, and my experience has thus far been great.
Welcome again

Take some time and read the Newbie Guide and the Stickies found
at the top of Forum pages. They are your best guide to learning about
Absolute Write.


Please read the FAQ about posting photos.


In fact we have lots of brilliant FAQs check them out.


Members who want to start a thread in Share Your Work to have work critiqued need
50 posts. Don’t make a mad dash to reach your 50 posts. That is frowned upon and can lead to your posts being deleted.
Take some time to greet fellow newbies, critique other members’ works, or join a discussion.

Great idea

I recently decided to self-publish through Amazon, so I'm going to start a thread detailing my journey in the Self-Publishing area of AW. Hopefully, my experiences will be of use to others. It's my humble attempt to give back to the community. That, and maybe sell a book or two :D

Welcome Grayworld!

I'm also recently self-published. And I'll look for that thread.
