My third R in a row...

For those who are a bit down about their R’s. I’ve been writing for 17 years with 15 years of R’s. I’ve won two contests and a small press published a book of mine that sold about 50 copies. The publisher went out of business. I guess in these 17 years my biggest accomplishment has been that Charli...

Great job, everyone. We only call it an R here on the Forum. In the contest, it is a DNP (Did Not Place). In life, it is a try...congratulations. You did something, perhaps out of your comfort zone, that many others think of doing but never attempt. Study, read, and try again because you are in the...

Just got my 3rd R

Good news, everyone! I'm going to have a story published in Fireside Quarterly's Winter 2021 issue! I'm super excited. wotf007 (Apparently I could have announced when the contract was signed, but most of my experience before this was with anthologies that asked me to wait until they officially anno...

Well, I just received an email from Joni proclaiming that my story has received an HM..... And then I realized that was for last quarter and I needed to scroll further down in the email chain. Ha! Ha!. the anticipation... Your post almost gave me a heart attack wotf015 I just had a dream about myse...

I remember that Dave prefers courier new, so I’d suggest it

Google Docs actually has a way for you to convert into .docx format, at which point you can download it. :) I've done it recently, actually. I did convert my google docs file into word docx on my iPad, but when I used my Windows computer (To upload my entry because I can’t do that with an iPad), I ...

Thanks to both Kate and Moon :) I was having trouble with converting my story (which I wrote by using Google docs) to a word docx file when using my windows computer, but finally succeeded when using my iMac wotf007 I was in such a hurry last time (Q3) because of the submission portal problem that ...

After: 1 year of work 4 major drafts (which include scrapping the entire second half, and changing the POV) 3 rounds of beta readers I am in. That's a lot of work!

Are PDF's acceptable? I tend to save all my work as PDF's when submitting as a way to lock in my formatting. I've asked Joni whether I should send in my submission in word or pdf, and she said "either one actually" But I'm starting to have second thoughts on submitting my Q3 entry in pdf ...

It's been there for quite a few days...I guess it might be somebody who misunderstood Joni's letters about the contest results

Okay, so this is what just happened to me. I was minding my own business and studying, then a got an unknown call from the US. I stared blankly at the phone, wondering if this was the phone call that would change my life......I picked it up, and nervously said, "hello?" It was my uncle, w...

So they've now changed the color of the certificates?? I remember it used to be blue

Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone had sent their story in by pdf form? I emailed Joni and asked her whether I should send it in by using word. or pdf. She responded by saying "either one actually." So has anyone used pdf form before?

If part of a story was posted on one of the reddit writing subs, can it be used for WotF?

Perhaps you could ask Joni
