I've learned to look here for warnings before querying publishers and agents that don't sound quite right to me. Then it finally dawned on me that I should actually JOIN the community. I'm a little slow sometimes. Heh.

I googled a company I was about to submit my poetry to and the first result was a thread from this forum saying it was a scam, so out of gratitude and intrigue I joined this site

I googled and agent who had asked me for a full ms and it lead me here. I wish I'd have found it sooner.

I was parading atop the hills of Ireland, in my armour with my lance at my side, waiting for a dragon to appear from round the bend. But lo and behold, what I thought be a dragon was just the tip of a water cooler, tempting me with its cool mist and urging me to talk about my fellow coworkers whilst drinking from its flow.
Oh, wait. Nevermind, it was google. -giusti |

By accident while surfing for writing tips and support! Out of many of the sites I have visited I am, thus far, finding this an excellent source of information, support, and encouragement!

I found it using answers.yahoo, while searching for help on publishing. The person who gave a really eloquent and helpful answer provided this wonderful website.

My sister told me about the site and as I have a few short stories finished and a novel about 1/3 written it seemed a good place to check out.

I found this site while googling for info on a few literary agents. Because of the responses on these forums, I discovered an agent I probably shouldn't bother with and another who might be a good bet.
As you may be able to tell, I'm sending out query letters for my book and doing some agent research as I go. Thanks to all for the excellent help (in advance!) jbh |
