Very interesting, maybe this is a trend we will see more often with other publishers? Maybe they will mix it up and put out some more innovative websites.<BR/><BR/>Got to hand it to you, if I look across the board HC's is certainly on the ball with internet related trends and market opportunities.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.

vsink (anonymous),<BR/><BR/>I had a real time loading up my ms also. What finally worked was taking my entire file, which originally was an odt.file (Open Office), turning it into a wps. file and then into a doc.file. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/><BR/>Alan

In reply to ZeBeDee:<BR/><BR/>I'm already with YouWriteOn, and my main story is here: http://youwriteon.com/books/bookdetail.aspx?bookguid=ca728962-6bb7-47d4-b8cc-e00c754ce427<BR/><BR/>However, I find the font hard to read, and so have to copy and paste into Word, then alter the font before I can really get down to reading and rating the stories. Hope Authonomy will be a little easier on the eye

Am having trouble uploading files to Authonomy. Have tried .rtf and Word 95 but get told they aren't valid files..

I registered the day after the announcement on Open Book, which would probably put me in the first few hundred. BUT, my internet provider has changed my email address since then, is there any way I can keep my place as an early subscriber?

No bad thing for the thousands of us prospective authors out there, who are currently caught in the catch 22 situation of submitting unsolicited manuscripts to publishers. <BR/><BR/>Seems we're damned if we do, damned if we don't. <BR/><BR/>Send in the script you've been labouring on for the last year, following the stringent guidelines set down by agents and publishers and it'll probably end up

Hello, Arizona.<BR/><BR/>Arizona may be ready to rock, but darkest North Yorkshire thinks that Spring is a bad idea and has gone back to bed with a nice book, a cupa_t and a hottie.<BR/><BR/>I think Authonomy is a good idea but even I deliver websites to my clients quicker than this. If there really was funding to do it, it would be done.<BR/><BR/>Having grown up on the Pampas, without

This is heartening news. <BR/><BR/>I like the woodcut. Worth every second of time and ounce of effort put into it, that's what I say.<BR/><BR/>Will be awaiting the next episode with great anticipation. And a water bottle. This waiting is thirsty work.

Hoorah, Authonomy is nearly here - at least for a given value of 'nearly'.<BR/><BR/>I signed up after it was announced on the radio. I don't know if this makes me early or late - I'll have to wait and see.<BR/><BR/>I have things ready to be read, so whenever you're ready, guys ...<BR/><BR/>Liking the logo, by the way.
