~The 24-Hour Short Story Contest is FUN!~ Hello! This was the first time I've ever done this, and I can't tell you how much fun it was! I thought about my story all day, stayed up way too late writing it and then got up early to edit and send. Thanks so much for doing this - I already feel like I've won! Craig Smith …

Hi, Richard, I'm very pleased with both the ebook and my subscription to The Write Markets Report. In fact, I've been really happy with all Booklocker.com purchases. You and Angela do an outstanding job, and I have to admit that even though she has absolutely no idea who I am, I still consider her to be my own personal mentor. WritersWeekly is an invaluable resource and I have learned a tremendous amount! Also, what I've read of her personal life and the obstacles she overcame in the past is truly an inspiration. Thanks again for the follow-up on my recent order, and my prayers go out to your family for continued success and happiness! Sincerely, Lori McKenzie …

Thank you for WritersWeekly.com! You do an awesome job, and I really appreciate each issue. You've written about some skunks who have been nasty to you, but I'll bet they are far outnumbered by people like me who think your ezine is wonderful. Best wishes, Barbara Frank https://www.cardamompublishers.com …

Dear Angie, Many, many thanks for publishing Query Letters That Worked! I couldn't wait to receive my copy. Already, I have picked up on priceless nuggets of advice. Your section, "Angela Hoy's secret for finding ongoing freelance work from companies that have a stable of freelancers, yet never run ads for them!" was worth the price of the whole book...and then some!

~Jonette Writes...~ Dear Richard, You and Angela have my undying respect and admiration for the way you run both Booklocker.com and WritersWeekly.com. Whenever I have had a question, it has been quickly and satisfactorily answered, and the ebooks always live up to their claims. Thank you, Angela and Richard, many times over. Best wishes, Jonette Stabbert in Amsterdam ~Karyse Writes...~ Sometimes we forget to praise those we respect while we don't hesitate to criticize those we don't. YOU, are praiseworthy. I've been a subscriber to WritersWeekly for a long time; so long that I can't remember how long. I have come to trust you completely and have recommended both Booklocker.com and WritersWeekly.com to many people. Besides the fact that your site doesn't request that I accept a gazillion cookies, it is fast loading, easy to maneuver, and full of great information. Your newsletter is anticipated and read as soon as it arrives in my inbox. So, thanks, Angela. Karyse …

~Frozen Nose Hairs~ For many years, "nose-hair-sticking-together-cold" has been a term I use for the kind of weather you are describing. You step outside the house, encased in your state-of-the-art thermal protection, take a breath and ZINGO... ~Oh My!~~ I hope I don't offend you by saying this, but . . . oh my Gosh! Last week's article looks like it was written by me…

Hi Richard, I am in a period of enlightenment right now, as far as my writing career is concerned. It's a place I have never been before, but I am enjoying, thoroughly, reading everything I can get my hands on that I think might teach me something new about this mysterious craft of writing. Your sites, both Writersweekly.com and Booklocker.com have helped me immensely. So, in closing, I wanted to say, "Thank you," to you, Angela, and your staff for all of the hard work that you put into making the sites the bountiful baskets of resources that they are! Keep up the great work and here's to a fantastic 2004 for all of us! Cheers, Jessica Martinez-Stanfield Dear Angela, I enjoyed your piece in Start Writing Now (November 2003 - https://www.writersdigest.com/store/magdisplay.asp?id=WY1103). The first two paragraphs were real grabbers. Party on..... Parrott Sutton, Kinston, NC …

Hi, I'd like to say that I used to have a subscription to "Writers Digest," but I find WritersWeekly.com to be more informative and the information more relative. Thank you for all the effort you put into WritersWeekly.com. Keep up the great work! J. Phillips …

One Present Peeker Who Got Caught I was a peeker, too, and a good one, or so I thought. Mom always hid gifts under the bed, and she was a late wrapper, so I could open the end of the bag and put it back exactly as it had been, content to know that "Santa" was bringing most of what was on my list. I'd go so far as to erase my tracks across the green wall-to-wall carpeting... Just Doin…

Pricing Your Book/Service Too Low Your article on pricing made me think about a project I have just finished.

I OUTsmarted them and booby-trapped their gifts... …

Kudos for WritersWeekly Whispers and Warnings Many thanks, Angela. Personal aside...I've been a subscriber to WritersWeekly for less than a day and it already kept me from stepping into something potentially nasty with an agent... Angela's Email Publishing Book I read Profitable Email Publishing and loved it. I write today to say thank you. I believe that I would not have continued on my quest for freelance success without your site and your encouragement. I'm still on that quest.... Just an Email Away! Dear Angela and Richard-- I have written to you both a number of times and just want to tell you how much I really appreciate all the insight that you offer to writers in WritersWeekly. It is especially comforting to know that if I ever have a question, you both are so easily approachable... …

Writing is a passion (along with photography). What you so often share in this newsletter is that to actually write comes with purpose and joy. Even in the simple things of sharing our stories with our family. I love the ideas that you presented for gifts. It is something our family of origin has passed on in writing journals and our histories. …
