News

Tyree points out an opportunity for submitting to a self-styled pulp publisher named Pro Se Press. (Pro Se, prose, get it?)  They publish stories about otherwise unknown superheroes, explorers, werewolves, Men’s Men and Femme Fatales.  Go to their blog page and scroll down to Nov 18 for details of a current opening, and here for other openings.

Victories

Tyree reports his Sams Dot division of White Cat Publications has five titles out as ebooks and sales are good, with WC asking them to get more out in e-formats.

Education

Do you understand the usage of raise and rise?  Since and because?  Insure or ensure?  Several other pairs of confusing words are linked in the first article.

Kites rise highest against the wind – not with it.  ~Winston Churchill

The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.  ~Gustave Flaubert
