Comments on: An author weighs in http://blog.creativebyline.com/2008/01/05/an-author-weighs-in/ A blog for writers and publishers by Creative Byline Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:39:18 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: creativebyline http://blog.creativebyline.com/2008/01/05/an-author-weighs-in/#comment-202 creativebyline Wed, 15 Apr 2009 14:21:01 +0000 http://creativebyline.wordpress.com/2008/01/05/an-author-weighs-in/#comment-202 Karen, there are lots of ways to measure success. We're not writers and we're not publishers, so we focus our measures on the parts of the process that we do: Creative Byline first reader review and speed and reliability of writers getting feedback from the publisher. We've been happy to receive lots of positive feedback from writers about both how fast (within 7 days) and how helpful our first reader responses have been; you can see some of their comments on our site. And we know that writers submitting to their chosen editors through our service have their manuscript looked at within three weeks or less. With that kind of response time, the writer can move on to celebrating or looking for another publishing avenue. In the traditional model, the writer can still be waiting up to 6 months later (or longer). Karen, there are lots of ways to measure success.

Am I missing something? Thanks, Karen I’ve not been able to locate writer success stories on your site. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

This site is really shaping up. Nice job Creative Byline team.
