@standback - Hello!
Wow, this is probably the biggest crowd I've seen here since I became a mod.
Craig Sefton
biggest i've ever seen since joining!
Neil Fein
So what's everybody working on right now? Writing projects?
Craig Sefton
8:29 PM
used to be tumble weed city in here, haven't been in here for months, but i see it's being used a lot more these days
i'm currently reading

"Do we still need publishers?"
Neil Fein
Yes, if you want a publicity budget. Some can self-publish and make a living from it, but most aren't very good at selling themselves.
If you're one of those self-published authors paying off their mortgage with their book income, I want to know you very well.
(general "you" there.)
Or get you as a client.
Craig Sefton
as for writing projects ... i have one project at the moment and that's called "first time fatherhood" ;)
Neil Fein
Hey, mazel tov!
Craig Sefton
so no writing of late, alas
Neil Fein
What have you worked on in the past, if I may ask?
Craig Sefton
8:34 PM
short stories
Neil Fein
Just curious, not trying to grill anyone.
Craig Sefton
not published anywhere
Neil Fein

Craig Sefton

Neil Fein
Yet.
Craig Sefton
8:34 PM
sci-fi mainly, some fantasy as well
Neil Fein
(The smiley was not for "not published".)
Craig Sefton
lol
Neil Fein
Cool.
Craig Sefton
you?
Neil Fein
I'm an editor, a freelancer.
Just finished a short fantasy novel, before that a historical fiction.
Looking for the next one right now.
(Well, not this second.)
Craig Sefton
8:36 PM
got a link to your work, or is it unpublished as yet?
Neil Fein
Lessee...
This is the first book I was paid to edit.

Craig Sefton
ah, i see what you meant, you just finished editing a short fantasy novel ...
sorry, thought you meant you'd finished writing one
Neil Fein
Oh, no, editing.
I worked on this one
thebestmanifesto.com
And several others, most of which haven't come out yet.
I really should get a page up on my website with books I've worked on.
But I figure I'll do that when I have a ton of them.
Like this lady has done:
deannahoak.com/home
(Scroll down a bit.)
Craig Sefton
nod
oops, duty calls :)
Neil Fein
Later!
