Greetings all, since you don’t know me, I feel it necessary to mention something relatively important up front: I’m blind. While this certainly is not the most important aspect of who I am, it does serve as a major characteristic, especially for dealing with the internet. I use a program called a Screen-reader, which means I interact with my computer and this site rather differently than most. I’m informing you of this, as when dealing with any site for the first time there is a great deal of learning that has to take place, since each site has slightly different coding, and code impacts me far more than the more traditional Graphical User Interface user. Mistakes are to be expected, and questions are more than likely; your patients are greatly requested. I feel this is absolutely vital that you all are made aware of this, since it will help explain perhaps what might appear to be on the surface as very silly errors on my part, when viewed from the perspective of someone using the site as a sighted user, when I am not. So that question, which might have an obvious answer for someone that has vision, might be totally its antithesis for someone that does not.
Having said all this: I heard of this site from a scribophile member, and have heard that changes were made by the site owner in reaction to my initial difficulties with the site when first attempting to join. I am exceedingly grateful to whoever that individual is that made the site alterations, which allowed me to join. I eagerly anticipate a rich learning experience and thank you for your time, respectfully, Elkin.

Hey all,

So I'm having some trouble deciding how to procede. I posted to the pitchfest and have two editors requesting a synopsis and the first three chapters of my book. However, I'm unsure of what I should include in the query letter since a chunk of that information is IN the pitch and completed in the synopsis they have requested. Should I just thank them for their interest and list my accomplishments and contact information?

Thanks for any help!

Newbie here! I love connecting with other writers. I'm currently querying agents for my mom blogger cozy mystery series. Have gotten some good responses to my pitches on twitter. Keeping my fingers crossed for here, too. In the meantime, I'm working on a new series and submitting short stories. I recently got my first mystery short story accepted for an anthology! I feel there's still so much to learn about every phase of writing and publishing - even when you get something done, there's 10 more things you could be doing. How about you?

I'm new to this forum and would like to connect with other authors. I am searching for a publisher for a fiction romance with paranormal aspects series.

Hi! My name is Ally! I'm a newbie here and write fantasy.
Would love to make some writer friends and possibly find critique partners.
Right now I'm polishing up a book about alchemists and thinking about entering Pitch Wars.

It looks like "All things Writing" forum has been hijacked by spam.

Greetings all!

Found this place when someone retweeted the pitchfest link into my Twitter feed. I look forward to learning more and integrating that knowledge into my writing. I currently have three works posted to www.inkitt.com and hope to get one or more of them off the ground.

Best,

Hi everyone!

My name is Sarah. I write YA/NA fantasy and am currently working on a YA urban fantasy trilogy. The first book is currently up on WattPad for critique and review

I'm new to Savvy Authors, so not sure what this site is all about! Thought I'd just jump in and introduce myself.

Hi, I'm new here but not really sure what to make of all this.

I signed up for a class hopefully it will be helpful.

Good morning! So glad to be here. I've always written but not with the drive that I've had as of the past few years. I was born in Cuba and came to the States with my parents and brother at the age of nine. I write contemporary romance, where at least one character is of Cuban descent. Makes for great culture clashes. I've had the privilege of living in myriad states, from Miami to Maine, St. Croix USVI to San Antonio, Texas, and Louisiana to Washington state, where I now reside. What a wonderful experience.

Hello Fellow Writers!

I learned of savvy authors at a book fair in NJ where I live. I'm very excited to share my passion with you all.

I am new to the site and wondering if there are critique groups? I write mystery.

Best,
Chris

so like the title says, I’m a noob. I put a few stories up on Wattpad, but they don’t do very good. I’m hoping to find people who can help me become a better writer and Critique some of my ideas
