John Ravenscroft Saying Hello...

John Ravenscroft · Feb 13, 2005

Hi, folks.

My name's John Ravenscroft.

I'm a UK writer (short fiction and articles) and the co-editor of Cadenza Magazine.

Like the look of your new place and thought I'd join and say hi.

Looking forward to getting to know some of you better and talking about writing.

Cheers - John

Hi, Triceratops.

Yes, I'm more and more impressed.

Got up early to do some work but made the mistake of logging on and snooping around here again. An hour and a half later, I'm still snooping!

There's some excellent content here.

I can see I'm going to be glad I found Absolute Write.

Thanks, kelblend.

PA?

Publish America?

awatkins · Feb 14, 2005

John--yes, PA = Publish America.

Birol · Feb 14, 2005

As a business model, Publish America is not held in high regard around here. Wander over to Bewares & Backgrounds Check for more on the topic. However, we warmly welcome any PA authors. Well, maybe not HB.

Anywho. Rambling a bit this morning. Greetings, John, and welcome to the Water Cooler.

John Ravenscroft · Feb 14, 2005

Cheers, Birol.

Yeah, I read about the recent PA sting - that awful book they accepted.

Reminded me of the paper Sokal sent to 'Social Text' - blowing the lid off postmodern theory.

Good stuff.

Hi John. Welcome.
You have some very good advice for new writers. Thanks!

Hey, cool last name! Makes me think of Tomb Raider and someone I know named Raven.

John Ravenscroft · Feb 15, 2005

Thanks, Sara. You're welcome.

PJ, when I was a schoolkid my nickname was Crow's Nest.

Was that a good nickname or a bad nickname?
