Just do it, Zanne! You'll be fine. I'm really enjoying writing here and I make all the money I need in my situation, so I think you've made a good choice. Don't be shy about posting again when you have a question, too.
Take care,
Abba May

Re: Is the Typical Price List Current?
Hi. The price list looks current to me too. I often get the unique price range for a full-rights article, but not all buyers pay top dollar.

Re: Submissions
Hi JasmineStone, I have the same problem. If you right-click in the box and you don't get the option to paste coming up in the list that pops up, then right-click again but exactly at the top left edge where you'd the expect the cursor to be. It's hiding. If you get the right spot at the top edge th...

Re: New Submission Form
Has anyone asked CC about it and received a reply? I don't know whether rounding down the word count is just a part of their system that we have to accept, or if their software people can change it. Can I ask about pasting an article into the submission form please? Do you recommend writing it direc...

Re: New And Need A Little Help
Hi Zanne, Welcome to CC. I'm so sorry you got left in the dark there. I think it's a case of many of us only having time to check the forum every few days - it's not the busiest forum in the world! Hope you're getting along ok now. Is there anything you need to know at the moment? Good luck, Abba May

Re: Subject- verb agreement
Hi again Emma, I had a look at some of your articles. I definitely don't think you're pricing too high generally. Some of my articles that are more research-based or technical are worth more than others that I wrote which don't require so much research or scientific detail. So for my difficult ones ...

Re: Subject- verb agreement
Hi Emma, I'll take a look at your articles (subjects and pricing) but will probably have to reply about those things a bit later in the day as I'm going out soon. The main thing to remember is that you need to build up a big catalogue of articles, particularly in areas that sell well or have few art...

Re: Subject- verb agreement
Go ahead Emma! I'm not the expert - that's for sure. But I'll answer anything I can and I'm sure other helpful people will too.

Re: Editors' Busy-ness Meter
Interesting thought! But I wouldn't worry about it. I think the editors know how to manage their workload and we can't change that. So we can submit anything at any time and they will edit it when it suits them. It's been working fine for me.

Re: Subject- verb agreement
Well, you're in the most beautiful area, aren't you? I went to Victoria once and loved it. Some people there thought we were from England but I was sure they would have recognised our across-the-ditch accent. Keep up the writing! This is the best site I've found and I'm making all the money I need, ...

Re: Subject- verb agreement
Hi again, CC's writer guidelines send you to this link: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/595/01/ . It tells you not to use "they" as a singular pronoun, so maybe you should be on the safe side and not do it, or alternatively message them and ask specifically. In my country we use...
