Hi Vanda:

Outstanding work! A good illustrator can make all the difference between a good children's book and a great children's book.

I'm looking forward to knowing you. I also need to do more with my page. Maybe when I finish loading the most recent 4RV children's book on the printer's server I can.

Hi Vanda. I just have to be friends with someone who identifies herself with a cat. They are fascinating and wonderful people who are so gracious to allow us to live in their world.

Hi Aidana,
How are you?
This site looks really great. I ma still finding out how to do things. Where would I post?
Did you here of the great EBay artistic "coup" that is in progress as we speak?

A hole new auction site, dedicated to the arts is about to be born, it started on an EBay list to make it more artist friendly. Anyway, fees wil be significantly lower, ti was set to debue today, but there are still a few bugs. Ihav ehight hope to sell my illustrations there, as I rarely sell the imagery itsefl, but rather the copyright. How do you handle this aspect. Do you lay claim to your original work?
Thanks
Vandy

Advertising & Selling Option... Looking for Feedback.

I am considering starting to sell book shorts (just like Amazon does) from our network.

At the moment though, we would have an advantage since Amazon is not accepting submissions right now for any new shorts.

There is a fee for this service, I would be charged monthly for the right to sell books (or anything I like) from the right column of the site.

This could be a great opportunity for anyone who wants to sell their short stories for .50 each (again just like Amazon does) in a PDF format (which I can either do for you or you can provide to me pre-formatted for placement.

Advertising your book in this way could help land a publishing contract (by showing proof of sales & marketability of your book), help promote a larger version of your book or even a book series (make a good excerpt or even chapter one a short to entice readers into buying your book), help to bring in revenue for your book to put towards your goals (whether that is self-publishing, subsidy/co-op or promoting a book tour for your traditionally published book).

The possibilities seem endless.

Again I will use Amazon as an example, $.20 of the $.50 goes to the submitter (proof of copyright would need to be shown me if you are not the author before I can place it).

The remaining $.30 will go toward the PayPal percentage & the monthly fee that will be coming from my (WillowRaven's) pocket.

If advertised by you, the submitters, just like you would advertise anyway for your book... this could be ideal... ads that pay you rather than you paying for your ads.

Eventually we can get our own domain & no longer be considered a "ning", and we can pay for a larger bandwidth & more storage capacity.

So my question is, who would be interested?

Let me know in my page somehow...

Aidana WillowRaven
