Yeah, I'd love to know how the site comes up with the authors. No matter what non-fiction sample I give them, they keep giving David Foster Wallace right back to me. But for my fiction, I get a different author every time. It's probably based on how long the sentences are or something. But I like to...

If anyone wants to procrastinate just a little bit longer, I found a great site - I'm kind of addicted to it. It's called I Write Like, at iwl.me, and it tells you which famous author you write like. It's probably not at all accurate, but it's fun to think that I write in a style similar to a famous...

I sold one for $500 for a private request, but it was a beast of an article. If you're pricing all of your articles at $250, you'll have to wait quite a while before a sale - obviously, there are less buyers looking for articles priced $250+ and more buyers looking in the $20-40 range. So by all mea...

Yep, two spaces are also accepted. That's what I use - I'm a traditionalist.

A couple of months ago, I had the same problem. I emailed Support, and I received the same response from Basil - that sometimes Support used the waiting status to archive an article. I didn't really understand the point behind that - why wouldn't they just use the sold status to archive an article? ...

I wouldn't write CC off completely. Unless my memory is completely shot, I think the last few months they've paid right on the 1st and the 15th, unless those days fall on a weekend or on a Canadian holiday. Happy Canada Day, everyone! And don't forget, it takes PayPal a few days to transfer your pay...

That's why I think there should be a minimum price for offers. I hold nothing against writers who are just trying to make some money - who hasn't been there? But I think there should be some limits. Take minimum wage - if there were no minimum wage laws, you know some employers would be paying worke...

I had a client purchase an article two weeks after it was accepted. If I hadn't posted it in the private request category, it would have been available to everyone for sale, which defeats the purpose of a private request. So I'm with you, I think private requests should remain private - hint, hint, ...

Seconded!

Don't forget, you shouldn't count weekends. Ed sometimes reviews articles on weekends, but he is human - I think - so he does take some well-deserved time off.

WordCraft, think of it in terms of odds. There are thousands of articles for sale here - just say there are 5000. And you have five articles for sale. So the odds of someone coming along and buying your articles is 1:1000 - at least I think my math is right! I'm not saying that you won't sell those ...

When I have a private request, I always just submit it to the Private Request category. I believe we aren't supposed to use that category anymore, but I was always afraid that the article would go public, just as audrabianca said. At least the Private Request category hides articles from the general...

Email Support after a week - they can look into it for you. Now you just have six more days to go! Here's hoping they sell before then

Wouldn't it be great if the authors could see if an article is just in a cart or if it has been purchased? Instead of waiting, the status could read "Paid by echeck" or "Still in cart". There would be a lot less authors waiting on pins and needles - hint, hint, Support :D As for ...

I also just word count the body of the article, but I never round the number - I worked hard writing those three or four words
