Amazon is interesting in that while they accept paid promotional placement (say that three times fast!) they also encourage buyers to create Lists, recommendation pages, let the user followup on what people "like you" bought, let you peek at what circles of interest are buying. So they're rather kind of Spike-with-a-soul grey.

I'm pretty shocked that her POD book is $39.95, that seems way out of whack for pricing.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
If it's a smaller publisher that can't count on the bulk sales to make up revenues and can't afford a large enough print run to keep the unit price of the book down, the pricing sounds about right to me.

I've got a story with an ending I now hate. I'd like the Buffistas to help me rehab it, but the piece is kinda long to post here,imo. But if I do, any formatting tips? I think I panic when stories get to a certain length and just sort of wrap them up "by any means neccessary"=cheesy endings

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Are there any Buffistas who'd be intereseted in reading my college essays, or mind if I posted them here in the future? I mention y'all in one of them.

Ah. Yes. Duh. I *do* know you apart. And that college-application essays aren't quite what's currently on your mind.

Hey, folks in the know...When one is submitting a non-fiction essay to online magazines, is it bad form to approach more than one at a time? Do I have to wait to get rejected by one to move onto the other?
