How'd You Find This Site?

I love reading about how people found their way here. Especially when people have recommended us to others... that's like nice gossip.

What's even cooler is when you get a pm out of the blue from someone you know who noticed you here! Fishmonkey and I are acquainted through the wide world of writing, and I had no idea she'd joined.

How I found this site.. With allot of searching and allot of luck. And I'm so glad I did.

This place is the best thing that happened to writers since ....... ever.
I found it by accident when I was doing a google search for help on writing queries several months ago. And I would read but just recently joined in.
Hooray for the water cooler!

I signed with an agent who turned out to be a crook. I read one of her emails and was immediately suspicious of something she said, so I googled her name and a thread popped up under the Bewares and Background Checks forum. Glad I found this place, though. At least one good thing came out of the whole experience.

I originally found Absolute Write after reading an article about Atlanta Nights in the LA Times. It was such a great story I wanted to learn more. I checked in on the NEPAT thread every so often for new developments,and just from reading that learned a lot about how book publishing works.

It took me a while, but I eventually figured out there were a lot of other great forums here.

Welcome, Madison.

I was referred by another member. Highly recommended.

Lessee...
I was looking at the SFWA website when I came across the Atlanta Nights sting. This got me interested in the Writer Beware part of the website, so I checked out the various personal accounts, and one of them mentioned Dave Kuzminski (I hadn't heard of P and E then, ah the naivity of youth). I googled the name, and one of the first results was AW. Since then, I've been hooked on the NEPAT and the site. I did try to read the whole NEPAT, but it was taking sooo looong, and I don't have enough time...

i found it by goooooogle!

Somebody, not me, no, never, gnawed a hole in the wall behind your site. I found it and figured I should report it to you. I'd appreciate any reward?

I've been here before...

It's deja vu y'all! I have been here before but it's been a while. I just stumbled back in yesterday. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that my old login and password were unrecognizable. :Smack:

I can't remember how I found this place back then. Maybe I found it on the Absolute Write website.

I followed a link from another site called writing world (http://www.writing-world.com). I originally got there from google. I was searching for online writing communities and just general info on novel writing. I'm actually fairly new to this. My idea for a book started as an idea for a video game (computer science major). One thing led to another and I found myself here.

Hmmmm.....

I can't remember now, but I must've found AW by googling writing sites. I just makes sense.

I was doing random searches on different agents, and noticed that this site kept popping up in the searches and so I thought I would give it a look.

I found this site by accident. I was doing a search on literary agents and came upon this website http://www.sfwa.org/beware/agents.html and it had a link that lead me directly here

For someone who doesn't know schtick about publishing, editors, literary agents, etc. etc. this website is an absolute haven. Thank you Jenna Glatzer and to all the people who make this website happen

Search engine--though I think I am already member here. (I've seen this site before) Too bad I have no idea what username I would have used--nor email. But oh well, I'm here now.

I, too, was directed by friends after disillusionment with what I had signed up for, for seven years....

Glad to be here!!!
