Re: how does theft after sale work

I feel very strongly about NEV ER posting the full article in the long summary. I have one client I do this for--but the requests are private and the articles don't wind up showing in my catalog. I simply use ... to indicate that there's more to a paragraph. I might give the first paragraph and part...

Re: Usage License

I think I just need to stay on top of it more...if it turns into a problem for me I'll just price usage as high as full rights:) I'd also prefer not to deal with the customer on this directly--CC probably has a form message they can send off as well as the contact info. It does have to be addressed ...

Usage License

Anyone else have any issues with buyers purchasing usage rights, but then removing byline? I randomly tested one--they did not include my byline--and now I'm afraid to look at the others:( I contacted support--is that the right course of action? It could be an *accident* but considering the usage as...

Re: Cursed Commas

btw...I have made some perfectly ridiculous errors that I am thrilled that the editors caught! I've simply been submitting a lot lately and I feel dismayed with myself for wasting an editor's time with my mistakes. So, I just want to clarify so I can deal with the commas more consistently. Thanks CC...

Cursed Commas

I thought I'd open a topic about just a couple comma inconsistencies I've noticed. Over the past years, I've noticed that Ed likes how I do commas:) There is another editor(s) who have been calling me on a couple comma issues that Ed never calls me on and I want to avoid any inconsistences since I d...

Re: What should i expect?

Derrick, the first two sentences of your last post are run on sentences. Should be: "All the capitalizations are proper (.) or (;) and then continue with the next clause as its own sentence or just use the semi colon. Your second run on can be fixed in the same way--use the semi colon or make t...

Uh, 35% percent is still preferable to me. No rate hikes please :)

Re: Can't Login

Afraid I can't login either and I only have an author account. I'll give it a day before emailing support in case you're still working out snags and this will fix itself in the end. Guess I can wait to upload this little old article :)

Re: New Theft - Garden Article

Sorry to hear that Linda. What a headache. In my case, I absolutely NEVER post the entire article in the long summary unless it's a private request. I'll give them a sample of a paragraph and use elipses to indicate that there is more. Then I skip to another section and do the same thing. In this wa...

Re: New Theft - Garden Article

Do to you post the entire article in the long summary? Is that how they got the article or had it sold for usuage rights and they stole it from there? JA

Re: Waiting for payment to drop ... imagine that!

I have to agree with Celeste. The site has always come through with payment whether my earnings have been small or large. I understand how a few days waiting for payment can be tricky especially when it takes an additional few days for your bank to get it from Paypal. But if you can hang in there du...

Re: Authors You Admire

I'd like to think Byatt has impacted my writing, but I think writing web content, and I write a lot for CC, has been the single best influence on the mechanics of my writing. I write and write and write and it's made me a better writer I think. But don't I wish I had more time for reading for the si...
