 | Hello I'm New Here  [E] Newbie Introduction  |
| (2.5)  Hello there, Newbie! Welcome to WDC.  This is a Simply Positive Review. Thank you for introducing yourself to the members of WDC. I hope you have a positive experience here and have much success in honing your craft. There are many helpful members in this community. I understand that you would like to publish your book about Satanism. I am sure you will find readers that are not judgmental about your preferences. This site has many different people with their own philosophical views and I'm sure you will be able to connect with interested readers, in your material. I also understand you have tried to query a publisher about having your book printed. Printed is the correct word here, as many of these pay for publishing places are more than happy to take your money to publish your book. That would be called a "Vanity Press." Needless to say, many good authors have started out using those avenues and have grown in their craft and even moved into publishing books without the pay-up-front costs. Observations:  Any legitimate publisher is going to want the best possible draft of your work. Even that will be subject to scrutiny by editors. Thus, You must make the best impression possible. I have just read your greetings to WDC and a bit about yourself and your future book. I think that where you should begin, is with your spelling and grammar. It is vital to have a good handle on those skills, although nobody is perfect in that department because we all tend to miss a grammar point somewhere along the line that another reader may catch and point out to us. We are very grateful when that occurs. May I suggest the use of spell check  A free grammar check on the web(Since it basically covers most of this short piece, I am not going to highlight them, as it would be akin to recopying your introduction.) Also, if you want your written word taken seriously, I suggest capitalizing your "I's" when they stand alone.  Check your sentence structure, because many of your sentences in this brief introduction, are incomplete, thus they are considered fragments.   I believe a little more attention in this arena will help you to fine tune your drafts and make your book more ready to be seen by a publishing company.Remember, you can pay to have your book published, but if no one wants to read page after page of errors, you will not have many readers to experience the philosophical words that you are eager to share.   All of these suggestions can help. We all start from scratch and learn. It is a process and sometimes a painful one.I wish you much luck in your writing goals. I have been know to change my rating when an author does some serious edits to an item.  Until next time--write on! Regards, WebWitch  My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
