|
|
Hello All,
I am compiling a book of ESL teacher's experiences in South Korea, and I am in the process of requesting submissions. Any topic having to do with life in Korea are acceptable. Submissions should be between 1500 - 4000 words in MSWord format. I will not change the content of any submissions - just grammatical and spelling changes. Your name will appear under the title of your essay. I will pay for all publishing and distribution costs. The deadline for submissions is November 30, 2005. You can email your submissions directly to me at [email protected].
Peace,
Daniel
P.S. If you have any questions, email me directly.

Good idea and I wish you well in the endeavor.
Almost 9 years, I bet I got a tellable tale or two.
I'm guessing my creative writing skills have deteriorated, though.
Feel free to edit.
Should it be essay format? Or random anecdote?
Oh, and what about royalties?  |

Ah huh. So you are person number what, 10 or 20?, that wants other people to write his book for him? We have seen it on this forum before - it did not work then, why should it work now? |

Good question about the royalties - each author who submits a successful essay will receive 3% on all royalties earned.
Peace,

Are you sure about that?
I'd hate for you to go in a hole if you decide to accept more than 33 essays. |

I've decided to only accept 12 essays. I already have 7.

Feel free to consider my website on the subject as a submission, Daniel. I will compile it into MSword if you would prefer. Thanks.

Who exactly is the audience for this electrifying book?
Give it to people with sleeping problems? A replacement for valium?
Or prehaps people who are about to jump but became indecisive at the last minute.
Ahh, don't take it too hard, just messing around. |

Red pepper paste. On everything. Don't need anything else. Because it sucks. So good in spaghettil. Mmm. Will bring it with me wherever I go and make sure that I fart. Women should always consume it 'cause when theyr'e on the rag it diguises the smell and they don't have to use a tampon. It's a goddamn atmosphere pleaser that one is. |

I wait a couple more days to receive submissions. I have 16 so far. Also, if you have a website like Ken's, I can format the material into Word format if you want me to add it.
Peace,
Daniel |
