It is apparent that many of our members are prolific and/or accomplished writers and authors. We would like to sponsor the members of the board to exercise their prodigious writing skills by creating a board specifically designed for the purpose of creating 'articles' of various sorts. The idea we have is as follows:
* RWD (and P-L) members are invited to prepare and submit manuscripts for publication.
* New board for acceptance of manuscript submittals is here --
Click Here* Accepted manuscripts will be published into an Articles section of The GoodWife Site (
http://www.GoodWife.com).
* Author agrees to release of copyright to International Relations (owners of RWD and GoodWife).
* Manuscripts should be limited to no more than 5,000 words, but exceptions may be made for exceptional manuscripts.
* Manuscripts should limit the number of graphics to fewer than 3.
* Manuscript submittals will be reviewed by the RWD Mod Squad for approval of publication at GoodWife.
* Manuscript submittals may be subject to minor editorial modification (spelling and grammar) prior to publication.
* Manuscripts are expected to be thematic to the subject of international relationships.
* Manuscripts must not contain pornographic or salacious content.
* Manuscripts may be written as humor pieces or serious pieces. They may be fact-based, or fictional. Author must specify if the work is fiction or fact.
* Poems, as well as prose, are accepted.
* Manuscripts may be written under pseudonym. Simply send the manuscript to me or one of the Mod Squad via PM for posting to the board.
* Manuscripts should be posted as a completed work.
* There is no specified time limit. When a completed manuscript is ready for review, the Mod Squad will review and decide on publication to GoodWife.
* Unapproved manuscripts will be removed from the forum after a short time.
And..... while no-one will get rich from it, we would like to offer a $50 gift certificate for all accepted Articles for publication.
So that's the deal. I really hope this inspires some of you to commit your considerable writing skills to this purpose.
Please let me know of any questions.
