Identical twins

Post by kenanstiss on Mon Jun 30, 2008 7:47 pm

Hi everyone,
Just a quick bit of news,I sent off a story about my identical twin and myself, and all the funny quirky things that have happened to us over the thirty four years of seperation, and guess what? Twins Magazine in America is publishing it in their Sept/October edition baby pictures and all.
I am a writer at last!

My late husband Peter always used to say..."Never say "it's just" but we all do it don't we. Having read some of your work, I'm sure it's a lot more than "just" :rose

Take care

:thanks1 Thanks English Rose for your kind comment, I have tried getting some of my childrens stories published, but it seems a hard genre to get into, specially if your not published, or if you have never been published, so at least it's a start, I will persevere until some publisher takes pity on me!

Hello Kenanstiss,
Englishrose is right, you have to persevere. There are so many talented writers trying to get published. Keep at it :love Have you thought of self-publishing? I have a friend who is a writer and he has self-published his first two books.If you want any details I would be glad to pass them on to you. My friend's book is advertised on Amazon so it is a way to get on the ladder of success. Very Happy

Many thanks Korculablue for your thoughts on writing, it is worth considering self publishing, but I think I need more feed back from my stories, before I comit to what could be quite a some of dosh. The feedback on some publishers has been encouraging,but no one wants to take an unknown.
