Okay, I did.
You will probably get our standard "Oops, you goofed, watch out
for flames" FAQ from Zeborah or Michelle,, but in the meantime
let me point out what you did VERY VERY wrong:
(1) Your post doesn't mention whether, or what, you pay.
(2) Neither does your website, anywhere I could find (and I
looked on all the pages), which leads me to conclude that you
DON'T pay. Your authors submit their (presumably) hard-worked-over
manuscripts to you, and you publish them, and (if I read you
correctly) you charge money for your publications, and YOU DON'T
PAY THE WRITERS ONE RED CANADIAN CENT.
Presumably the writers you've managed to con into submitting to
you are so desperate to say, "See, I'm PUBLISHED! I EXIST! READ
ME!!! that they don't care if they're getting paid for it.
This group, on the other hand, consists mostly of people who
write for money, or write in the hope of someday writing for
money, plus a few friends who don't write at all but enjoy the
conversation.
None of us, that's none, zero, rien, is interested in submitting
our hard-worked-over output to someone who will publish it on a
tiny scale and keep all the profits, if any, for himself.
You will not get any MSS. from us.
