1 - As a Writer,
You Are Powerful And Even More If You Are Published.
We wrote an
article long ago about the
power that a writer can have. As a writer, your pen is LITERALLY
(pardon the pun...) like a gun, a microphone, even like a camera. Not only
you can share your opinion to thousands if not more of people, but
you can also be detrimental to peop...
Criticism is an inevitable outcome of writing. I have never known a single person who made even the pretense of writing without holding strong opinions on the work of others, whether those opinions were positive or negative. This can be as simple as the person who credits their favorite author with inspiring them to get started in the first place, or as complicated as someone who has a top ten list of favorites and a bottom ten list of least favorites, al...

Writing Tips & Guide
This is a guest-post by Maryam Hussain.
Creativity is a gift by nature. But there is a way that can help you compete the real talent and that way is 'determination'. If you don't possess an innate tendency to write, there is nothing to worry about. You only have to be opinionated and that is it. Then, determination can take you to the top. Read loads of stuff that interests you and then begin attaching your own ideas to it. This will boost up your imagination that almost everyone posse...

“From when I first read books I knew I wanted to be a writer. My 12 year old self-wrote a story about a boy who had a secret pet Pacman who would constantly get him in trouble and then save the day, but I did not bring it to an end.
A few years later I tried to write a mystery, but that didn't pan out. At 18, I co wrote a play that was produced three night's running in my local town hall. In university I edited the arts pages of the student newspaper and c...

Digital printing is just a fancy word to say that it's printing through a “digital” technology instead of a “mechanical” technology such as it was done in the past. The difference between these two is very important. Let's say for example that you want to print a one page text through a mechanic printing (the old way of printing), you need to have the original of that paper physically (in your hands).

This was posted in the forum by one of our member which is a published author by the name of Ernie Johnson. It's pretty interesting, soI wanted to share this with you. So If you're a screenwriter and you've got a completed screenplay that you are trying to submit, know that Amazon.com is getting into the movie business, and the good thing is it's all free.
