    Join the Writer's Digest Community Site

    I encourage everyone who's a member of the WritersMarket.com Community to join the new, free Writer's Digest Community at writersdigest.ning.com/.

    Not only am I a member, but so are other Writer's Digest editors from the magazine, trade books, and other Market Books. There are already quite a few writers--even though an "official" launch has not yet happened.

    Plus, I can tell you that the Writer's Digest Community site is much easier to use than the WritersMarket.com community site. And with the site being free, there should be even more writers and other publishing professionals involved in the Writer's Digest Community.

    So get on over there today and send me a friend request.

    Go to: writersdigest.ning.com/

    Best,

    Robert

    I'm going to start highlighting some of the blog posts made on the WritersMarket.com community site from time to time. Here's what some of you are up to right now:

    * Jessica McCann's unpublished novel, All Different Kinds of Free, won the Freedom in Fiction Prize (with a $10,000 award): community.writersmarket.com/jmccann/blog...

    * The title of Christian's blog post says it all, "Hard Not to Get Discouraged": community.writersmarket.com/cwfredrickso...

    * And Maria Rachel Hooley blogs about the writing journeys she takes. In fact, Rachel is one of our more frequent bloggers--so be sure to stop by there and find plenty to read: community.writersmarket.com/mariarachelh...

    I hope you're taking advantage of checking out the blogs and communicating with other writers on here. And if you'd like to see your own posts highlighted in a future post by me, then get blogging.

    Hello Robert...



    Thanks for the welcome. Just joined Writer's Market yesterday. I am looking for publications interested in short story fiction - primarily humor, romance or mild erotica. Have been published only a couple of times in a small zine that's no longer around. Any help from you or your readers will be greatly appreciate.



    Thanks

    Robert,
    Thanks for the Hi-gram. Hopefully, I will fit in somewhere and can get a little retired career going in writing and photography. Looking forward to sharing as time goes by.
