More About This Website

The original intention for creating this site was as a forum for writers to debate, discuss and share ideas, markets and trends in the freelance writing community.  In spite of my best efforts, it seems that lots of you read my blog, but are perhaps too shy to contribute! I'm a visitor and subscriber to various other sites, including Helium, which I would recommend for a visit if you haven't already.

I still welcome and positively encourage postings here which may be of help to others, and if you want to use the blog as a forum just to get something off your chest, then that's OK too.

I would like to publish some of your work and if you would like to submit it for consideration I would be honoured to have a look.  You may be interested to look at 'Titbits from Elsewhere' where I post bits and pieces which have caught my eye from other writers.  I never publish these without express permission. I'm not entirely sure of the final direction this site will take - I welcome any and all sugestions.  I just feel that a good quality site which is not trying to rip off its readers for get-rich-quick schemes which simply don't exist is long overdue.  I hope you agree, and will support this site.  Thanks.
