Probably staring me right in the face, but I don't see it.
Thanks.
Was it posted in the “Writer’s Guild” forum? If authors cannot share their works there then what is it for?
Dude’s only been here since June and already gettin’ Laz called to the carpet...
Has anyone yet figured out how to use the shells??? lol

First, you have to post a picture of yourself. If Laz says, “I’d hit that”, you’re in.
Ringo, are you a Mod or a Rocker?
I’m a Mocker!
You join this year to post ads about your book. Not allowed, Sunshine.
People who post about their books are long standing FReepers who also contribute to this website, and the books are tangential to a free republic. Writers usually also invite FReepers to review or help write the books. Matt Bracken, FReeper Travis McGee, did it back in 2001. Lots of Freepers thanked in his forward too. LS also did this. He also gave away copies of his book.
Lots of writers here, but not writers who only use FR for their own advertising.
“If Laz says, โIโd hit thatโ, youโre in.”
Thanks only because we all have such low standards!
Knock it off.
Why?
They already have a car warranty so you can try someone else.
I have been working EXTENSIVELY with Laz on his book and my book. I have been a great help to him. Ask him.
The book is about the US Constitution. Tangential enough?
I do not use FR only for advertising. I love the content here.
So you've got to stand up like Ringo and be a Mocker.

Hey brother. Gave you my counsel. There are ways to avoid a charge of solicitation. ๐
Stay the course. You’ll be okay.
“and the books are tangential to a free republic.”
It was... It was a historical work about the Constitution... And it looked pretty good... I read the excerpt before it was taken down...
No we can’t: Zot!!!!
Dang that stung. I won’t do that again!
LOL
The anti-solicitation rule actually makes sense to me. We aren't trying to let FR morph into an advertising site, right?
That said, there are behaviors that are a lot less solicitous. They seem okay. You can mention you wrote a book-- the Writer's Guild has many mentions from many authors -- just don't point directly to it.
