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. Wink
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? Idea

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,
Daniel

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
