Hello everyone!

I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I've been lurking on the board for a little bit, and now that I'm getting back into writing with the intent to traditionally publish, I am coming out of hiding. The varied advice on the board has been invaluable and I'm looking forward to learning more about the industry at large.

Thanks!

I was initially surprised at how useful! Thanks to the SYW, I can immediately note issues in my writing as I'm writing it. That's going to be fantastic for me.

Welcome! I'm in a similar boat. I joined this site years ago but have been lurking in the shadows as a reader. Now that we've come out from our rooms beneath the stairs, it's good to meet you! I look forward to seeing you around the water cooler. :hi:
