Weekly Wrap Up (Oct 9 - Oct 15)

Hey all, sorry that the wrap up is so delayed today. I had a family emergency come up last night and didn't get home until early this morning and went straight to bed. I hope everyone had a great weekend and don't forget that the deadline for the Fall Anthology is fast approaching. Also, if you haven't already done so, I'm asking for some help with the GA blog. If you want to help supply content, please check out the Blog Feature Opportunities. Since I'm already running late with the wrap up, le

Weekly Wrap Up (Oct 2 - Oct 8)

Before we get into the wrap up today, I'd like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday! A quick reminder that we're approaching the deadline for the fall anthology, and there are a couple authors looking for an editor for their anthology. If you might be able to offer your services, check out their requests in the Writing Support Request forum. Now, let's see what happened this week, shall we?   October C S R Feature: Wolf Like Me By Dayne Mora

Weekly Wrap Up (September 25 - October 1)

Wow, October 2nd already!!! Won't be long until the holidays arrive and we turn the pages to the new year.   This week we started off with C S R Discussion Day and Cia took the time to interview Puppilull and discuss her story Thaw. It is always interesting to see the responses to the hard hitting questions of Cia . The other great thing about C S R Discussion Day is that you the readers get a blog to discuss what is on your mind with the Author. We had a great discussion on Monday.   Wedne

Well, it's the end of the week and this one was a busy one. Just a reminder that tomorrow is the CSR Discussion Day for Thaw by Puppilull. If you haven't finished it yet, but wish to take part in the discussion day, you still have time! Also, we're only about a month away from the Fall Anthology deadline (October 28th), so start polishing up those stories and get them sent in to the Anthology Proof Team.

Weekly Wrap Up (Sept 11 - 17)

In case you haven't guessed it yet, Renee is still away . If she isn't back soon we might have to send out a search party. Both Cia and I are exhausted with picking up her slack   So here is what happened this past week.   Monday, we usually would have a story featured in the Featured Story blog. This week, Cia gave us some insight though a review by Aditus on Mikesboy's poetry for NaPoWriMo. This appeared to be a great success as there is 2 pages of comments left for the feature. It is go

The leaves are turning and falling in my neck of the woods. Have they started where you are, or are the leaves just starting to come out as you inch you way towards summer? As the weather chills, I turn to more reading as the days are getting shorter too.   We had a busy week here at GA and with Renee away, I am going to attempt to fill in for her.   Monday, we started off the week with Cia letting us know about the C S R feature for the month of September.

Okay, it has been a very busy week, so I'm not going to dawdle too long. However, we also have some info we'd like to share with you. First off, if you are a site author, then please check out the author forum "Anthology Private Discussion" as there are a couple of things in there that require you're attention.   Also, as a reminder, we’re always looking for Premium content, and you don’t need to write a novel to have one of your stories included!

It's once again time to take a look at what has happened here on GA this past week. Emotions have run high after the news about the tragic shooting in Orlando, Florida. While many of us couldn't find the words to say how we felt, Steve managed to do what we couldn't, and shared some thoughts on what happened in Orlando. Some authors, both here at GA and others, are putting together a Poetry Anthology to benefit the victims of the Pulse shooting. If you're interested in participating, you can che
