Jane, I have never used the "best offer" option so I cannot really speak from experience. But, I have read some earlier threads here where other authors have noted that they were receiving offers that seemed quite low and they were unsure whether to accept. I have thought about adding the ...

Please excuse the request. I had seen a prior post where a spelling error needed to be corrected in a title and it seemed to be handled with no problem so I did not realize it would be an issue. I apologize and will not make such a request again.
Thank you for your responses.

Editor, please correct something in my title.

I have just realized that the title on my (not yet accepted) article, Epitaphs of the Literary, looks awkward. Could editors please change the comma after literary to a colon. It looks as if literary is part of the list that follows with commas seperating. Sorry for the error.

Thanks for the information and advice. I will check out those websites. I guess I need to get more involved in the self-promotion part of writing if I want to increase my income.

Tell me if I did this wrong.

I saw a request for several different types of articles. The buyer said contact me first to tell me what you would like to write. I responded via the Q/A and named a few topics I could write on. The buyer responded, saying that two of the topics would work. I wrote one article and submitted it as us...

Thanks for the response, Celeste. I never thought about the aspect of writing for a topic with limited appeal and then putting it over there if another article is selected over mine. I hardly ever try for the requests especially if they are only looking for one article but your strategy makes sense ...

Srategy for making more income from your writing?

I have noticed that some authors who are quite active here also have content on other content sites. Since it appears that CC is the higher quality site and provides the best prices for your work, I am wondering what the strategy is for using other sites. Do you move articles there if they have not ...

Unpaid status of order?

What makes an order stay in an "order being processed-unpaid" status for a long time?

Congratulations, Allison, on your 100th sale!! That is great! How long have you been writing for CC? I have been here for a couple of months and have sold a few things but I need to put more time into it. I am only submitting a couple of articles a week, but this is very part-time for me right now.

Thanks for the info, Celeste. Some of the first articles I submitted here have very short summaries with little detail. I thought I would add a little more to them but I wanted to make sure it was OK.

Is it OK to change details on articles after approval.

I am wondering if it is OK to use the edit feature on articles that have already been approved to change such details as the short summary or the title. I realize you cannot change details in the actual body of the article without deleting and re-uploading it. But, what if you just want to re-write ...

My experience with CC has been that if my articles contain one or two errors, the rejection message does call attention to those specific areas. I would imagine that if an aritcle has numerous errors, time constraints would dictate that it simply be rejected for errors in general. This is a for-prof...

I know exactly how each of you feels. I am relatively new here, too. I started writing here about a month ago. I have had a few rejections and was tremendously embarrassed because I thought I was a pretty good proofreader. But, everyone here has been very nice and patient. I guess everyone makes mis...
