[Aidee]

Please please continue!!! Savvy Authors has been consistently great for classes, activities, and generally keeping my writing life going. It's my favorite writing community!

I don't post much, but I would love to see Savvy continue on! Wonderful classes, great people! And I'd love to try the crit match now that I'm back to writing...

I received a message from Savvy Authors telling me my recurring premium payment from June 6th was canceled. I would hate to see this organization go. My husband had had a bone marrow transplant so I've not participated in a while, but I had hoped to resume once he no longer need me for everything.

Same here. I wondered what was wrong, and went to check it out.

Best wishes to your husband. Hope he has a smooth recovery.

Keeping my fingers crossed.
Even though I haven't taken part in a long time, I'd be sad to see Savvy Authors go

 

[Barbara Sheridan]

I just about the the situation and I hope it can continue. I wasn't able to renew my premium membership, but I've taken a few classes since it lapsed.

I would hate to lose this community, it has helped me tremendously and I've met wonderful authors and was match with a fantastic critique partner. If not for Savvy she and I would not have met. Please keep us updated.

I participated in pitchfest which resulted in interest from a publisher, loved the critique partner matching, and wanted to take part in some classes, don't want to see such an awesome online resource and community go.

 

[jrgoetz]

I would love to see the site continue! I think the classes are helpful and it is great to have a community to be part of.

Ideas: What about workshop classes that are more like traditional workshops where one person a week/session has their work read and critiqued by others?
Mods/teacher/prof whatever term you want to use, provide direct feedback of X number of words/query letter/etc. with a tiered structure for financial compensation?

 

[Leslie]

Would it be possible to send out an email to the members to give them an update?

Hi Deb, All members are subscribed to this forum but sadly a lot of them have marked our emails as spam so would not get this.

I have LOVED teaching for Savvy for the last 7+ years. I hope you guys get the to continue. Please let me know if I can do anything to help. Love to you all!

 

[rlpdennis]

Fingers crossed. We all want to be able to write and be compensated for it. In the end, we know you must do you, and take care of you and yours first. Thank you for the contests. They were a wonderful way to exercise our minds and our pens. I hope they plop a wad of money in your lap and ask you to keep going with this enterprise. Good luck

 

[Pam M-K]

I am just really getting into using Savvy for classes more often! So I hope you stay afloat and keep offering all your great services.

 

[Writer4kidults]

Yes! I would love to see SA continue. It is a supportive and affordable writing community and would be a loss for me and the many other writers, teachers and mentors I've met on the site. I hope it can continue under new ownership and come back maybe even better than before.

 

[Lorrie]

Please continued!!!!!!

 

[Mike Creuzer]

Hi all, I posted an AMA here: AMA: Hello! (if interested)

 

[CAC]

Hoping to find an encouraging update to see if savvy continues. Keeping fingers crossed and candles burning.

 

[Alice Fleury]

Amazing. I someone would like to continue Savvy. It's one of the few places with very affordable and instructors are so kind.

That would be awesome Leslie.

 

[MSTufail]

I definitely hope SA finds a way to continue. I spent the weekend looking for a comparable site and nothing out there checks off all the boxes SA does.

 

[Bob Dalton]

I have not had enough experience to make any recommendations, but I hope Savvy Authors continues to provide a community for writers.

 

[Bob Dalton]

I want Savvy Authors to continue because it provides accessible resources for people who wish to improve their writing. Few websites offer the variety and camaraderie that Savvy provides; this has been a remarkable place for me and many others. I hope someone buys the site and maintains the quality we have enjoyed for the past decade.
