Writting a script?


So I’m planning on doing ScriptFrenzy this year after all the fun I had doing NaNoWriMo and I just realized I don’t have the first clue about how to write a script. I mean I know what it entails but I don’t know how to do any of the formatting or stage directions. I’ve heard people mention programs for this, can anyone recommend any good ones. Preferably free ones because I don’t know that I’m ever going to write another script and don’t want to spend a ton of money.

Is there a market for publishing short stories online?


I have some short stories and would like to publish them (not to make money just so as many people as possible can read them). I have the means to publish the stories to the Internet - is there a market for this? Do I have the potential to get a large base of readers if the stories are good and the site is found on the search engines?
Note: I don’t want to make ANY money from this

I am a web designer and search engine optimiser by trade so I can publish the works myself - I’m asking - is there a market out there for it? I.e. Is there the potential to get a lot of traffic.

How to Publish My Mystery Book?


I’m a professional writer. I wrote a well-reviewed business management book a few years back, which was published by a respected business press.

But it’s my dream to publish fiction. I’ve read hundreds of mysteries and now I wrote one myself. I need to find an agent or a publisher, but no luck. Still, so many mysteries are published, there must be a big market.

I know about self-publishing, but I don’t have the time or money for that.

Any suggestions?

Can anyone recommend any reputable publishers for genres in fiction/adventure?


I’m a young writer, mainly writing fiction, adventure, some science fiction, and I would like to know which publishers to give some consideration to. I don’t have a lot of money to burn, though, so nothing too expensive. Or could you tell me if there are any I should avoid? Thanks for your time.

Truth is Stranger Than Fiction!


(or when I met Natasha, the Gypsy)

“I had an extraordinary experience a few years back involving a gypsy in Palma de Mallorca. I’m sure this encounter will

shock and amaze you, as it did me.

Just before my vacation to Palma de Mallorca, a palmistfriend dropped by to see me. She read my palms and

excitingly told him that I must find Natasha, a Spanish gypsy who lived in Palma. She said Natasha had

the magic touch. - Go to her and ask her to read your palms.

To make a long story short, I met Natasha, and she read my palms. She said I would visit a famous casino

in Palma, she even told me the Casino’s name.

She said when I arrived, I’d meet a beautiful lady who would ask me to buy her a drink.

After the drink, I was to go to the roulette table, and play a special number. The number was the day and month

the lady was born.

The next evening, I visited the casino and sure enough, I met a very beautiful lady and bought her a drink.

I did as the gypsy had instructed and asked the ladyfor her birth date (day and month only, of course). I

played the numbers and won a lot of money.

When I turned around, the lady was gone!

The next day, I went back to Natasha and told her what had happened. She said that I’d met my lucky angel.

I started studying palmistry from Natasha and today, I’m one of Norway’s leading palmists.

For anyone who doesn’t know me, this chain of events probably sounds like a fairy tale. But truth is

stranger than fiction.
