    Will Instructors Be Paid

    Yes, I am confused as well. I have submitted the refunds just like always and Paypal has been randomly cancelling them. I have to check each day and refund again. This is just as fun as it sounds. Paypal is not telling me what is going on. I cannot tell you since I have no idea. Please give...

    Will Instructors Be Paid

    Hi all All the refunds have now been processed. Both Paypal and stripe say that they will take 5-10 days. If you have not received a refund by October 1 (just to give them a bit more time) please post here and I will see what I can find out. Thanks

    Will Instructors Be Paid

    Yes, I am slowly getting those refunded. It's a pretty manual process and time consuming. I expect they will all be done in a few weeks.

    Will Instructors Be Paid

    Hi all. I have completed the payments for all instructors and will start on the refunds this weekend. Apologies for the delay. It's not simple to figure out the refunds, but you will be refunded. Thanks! Leslie

    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner West Mesa Highway

    This is good! So sad and full of regret. Loved that part below. I do like how she clearly sees her bad choices and regrets them even while she expects Mitch to be there. For me, parts of the middle could be tighter, but it's a good story. Nicely done.

    Novel POV?

Do you PP colleagues think that third is dated? I write sexy romance in...

    Querying is a struggle for reasons I didn't expect.

    Excellent advice!

    Querying is a struggle for reasons I didn't expect.

    Maybe depressing, but for me, it helped me shape a pub strategy. So, based on this, the platform is the most important thing. You can either plan on getting a contract and use the pub company platform, or go the self-pub route and build your own. It's also clear that you are more likely to get...

    Querying is a struggle for reasons I didn't expect.

    We're hearing that a lot now. We've had some of our larger pubs drop out of Pitchfest because they are not open to querying at the moment. There was a great blog article about this...let me see if I can find it...ah, here it is. It's about what was disclosed about book sales and promo in the...
