Hi Jeff,

I've been on Authonomy for two years. I'm familiar with the virture of patience. LOL.

Incidently, I worked for the Dow Chemical Company for thirty-two years, and spent fourteen of those years in Midland, Michigan. I often thought I'd retire there, but retired to South Carolina instead. Where in Michigan do you live?

Hi
I was wondering if you will check out my book Iniko's Children: Pandora's Box. If you like it or not I will appreciate if you comment or give me feedback and if possible backing. I will return all backings. Thanks in advance for supporting my book.

Four students are out to find the truth about themselves and the death of their parents’ by The Being.

Have you ever wondered who you are? Have you ever wanted to know why are you connected to one person or people and not others? Have you ever thought you knew your past, present, and future? Have you ever just wanted to know the truth? Alan Breese, Bo Dice, Destiny Phoenix and Vanessa Staples ask themselve these questions as they go on an adventure to find the truth about their parents' death by the Being. Along the way they find out that there is a connection between them and the truth about their destiny

Hi Jeff,

I'm here looking for your consideration of "Savannah Fire," a contemporary southern suspense I posted on Authonomy thirteen days ago.

Would you please review "Savannah Fire" critically and see if it meets your criteria for inclusion on your bookshelf?

There is no reward for shelving "Savannah Fire" other than the satisfaction of knowing you are supporting a quality book on the Authonomy list.

I hope you and your loved ones have a sensational New Year.

Good day!
Please excuse my rudeness, but I wanted to ask you if you could consider sampling my book: The Cursed Planet Chronicles. I’m a young writer and this is my first project, and I’ve worked hard to see my creation complete. If it interests you and if you could support it in any way, I would really appreciate it and promise to support your book as well.
Thank you!

Hi there Jeff, sorry to bother you, I would be very pleased if you would kindly take a look at my book.
THE SECRETS OF THE FOREST– ‘THE TIME ZONE’ please back it if you find it worthy.
It would be very much appreciated Jeff.

I found yours to be very good when I backed it some time back.

Kind regards and many thanks for your time,

Neville (The Secrets Of The Forest - Series)

Hello ,
I am not an author myself and am here purely as a fan of literature but I fully endorse David James Pickering's books, especialy 'convergence' which I think you will find a thrilling and compelling read.
If you would give his a look then I shall be happy to read yours and of course back you if I enjoy the story.
Thank you and good luck,
Karen.

On August 14, you put my novel on your watchlist.

I would be grateful if you’d consider backing Fidelity. Ch 27 is succinct (a few hundred words) and captures the style and premise of my piece--if you’re short on time, that’s a good place to go. Best of luck to you and your writing.

Please shelve Saffire Drake and the Three Keys to help it stay on the Ed's Desk (the top 5) this month.

Saffire thinks she's just an ordinary girl - until she experiences strange dreams and another reality on the Island of Midway, is chased by the Midguardian Serpent, walks through portals, learns the magical art of Mystification and battles against an evil Judge. The reason: young Saffire is the long-awaited True Muse.


"I was stunned."

"Without a doubt, one of the best books on the site..."

"I can see this would be a big hit with your target audience."

"This should be on bookstore shelves (or, I guess in this day and age, listed on Amazon.com and on the Barnes and Noble website). My favorite story on the website so far."


Many thanks for your support and kindness.


All the best, Sana


(If you have shelved SD in the past, apologies and please disregard this message)

No more questions. You have answered them very well. Thanks for your time.

Ahoy there Captain!

I asked because I spent an hour of my time trying to help you to get your book published.

But I think you are right -- you can have as many pages in your chapters (and in your book) as you like -- some of mine are very long. Of course the way we upload our chapters onto authonomy can be different from how they would appear in a proper book.

Great to see that you have based your book about a wrestler on Harry Potter.

I do think your story has potential, but to be frank, it will take you years to edit all your mistakes and to change the many sections of poor writing, which your story contains and which I was hesitant to mention in my previous comment, as some folk get upset if any one points out a single typo. You wonder why they are on the site.

I suggest you start editing now, or to be honest, you haven't a chance in hell of ever having an agent or publisher even look at it, let alone ever getting it published.It would go straight in the garbage bin.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Good luck and best wishes,
Barry

Hi Jeff,

The reason for this message is that unfortunately, and it is my fault involving a major computer glitch and I did not back up my files, I have lost track of everyone who has supported me and whom I have supported. Trying to re-coordinate my message feed would be an almost impossible task. So please do not consider this to be a Spam message for that is not my intent.

I have recently decided to try to make a run at the Editor’s Desk in order to garner more feedback on my work on top of all of the good constructive criticism I have already received on this site, some of which I have incorporated into my two re-edits to date. I am currently in the process of a major re-edit, with outside help, and adding more than 20,000 words to bring my book up to full novel length.

So, if I have been remiss in not reading your book please let me know and I will be more than happy to read it and offer support and comments. If you have already backed me, thank you. It is greatly appreciated. If not, all as I ask is for you to read as much of my book as you care to and then decide if my work is worthy of your support. Once again, thank you.

Good luck in your writing endeavours.

My best regards,
Andrew Burans

Hi captain, you asked me if there is anything else I'd like answers for.
Just one thing.

Are you joking or being ignorant?

It wasn't clear by your tone.

Cheers,
Barry
