I Am A Gold Member On Authors Den, And I Hav

I am a Gold Member on Authors Den, and I have nothing but praises for them. They have teamed with Lulu.com as well, and lulu offers publishing packages for varied prices. As well as self publishing at no cost to you. I had a book published by them myself. And you can self publish your books on Authors Den Bookstore, I know because I just did it! And their already at work promoting it. This is most certainly an excellent Authors site, and I for one am very pleased. Their cost of memberships are very reasonable and if you self publish on their bookstore there are some perks along with it as they print and ship for you as well! Fictional author Garry E. Lewis

I've Been A Member Of Author's Den For Several Yea

I've been a member of Author's Den for several years. When I joined I found it very helpful and a great way to have my poetry seen by thousands of people. I didn't like their advertising on my site and so I took out a gold membership - it costs very little for what they offered in exposure. Unfortunately, over at least the last year--and I think it was earlier than that--I discovered my carefully formatted poetry there, occasionally and then often, somehow got altered to prose formatting. After a while I found the formatting would switch back to poetry. It made no sense. I've entered numerous complaints since with no relief. The last advice was that I should "refresh" the site--whatever that means, and to add more poems. What is weird is that when I go to the site my poems may wander in and out of their original formatting. At this point I'd have to see some real changes there to recommend the site--at least for poetry.

I Found This Site Only Very Recently. I Am Really

I found this site only very recently. I am really happy to see this wonderful site.

From India as a freelance journalist I wish to make use of it fully. So nicely designed that it attracts me a lot. I recommend all to use it.

I wish to meet all writers all over the world through this and also I wish to promote my books "health care scenario in India", "environmental issues in India", infra India" and the recently published" everybody has two mothers" through this beautiful website.

Great! Well done - the software architects have designed this neatly.

Congrats to them.

Its a pleasure to use it.

Hats off to all who have created with care devotion and hard work day and night.

They must have toiled and it has fetched sweety fruits.

I've Recommended Authorsden To A Number Of Writers

I've recommended AuthorsDen to a number of writers who didn't have a website. It's easy to set up a web site and post material and the expense is minimal.

The people at AuthorsDen are responsive to problems. Well recommend this Ezine website.

Authors Den Is Not A Publishing Company, It Is A P

Authors Den is not a publishing company, it is a place where authors can showcase their work, and readers can come to read them. Along the sides of the screen authors can find plentiful of advertising information on publishing, freelance writing, and other opportunities that may be of interests to them.. It is up to the authors to step forward to take the opportunities.

On the whole I would give an 8.

I'm a Gold Member on Authors Den, I have just self published five books of mine On Authors Den. Yes they're a site that promotes authors works, poetry, articles, etc.. But they also now offer self publishing on their sight. Check it out, they have their own Book Store. It's a fantastic site for Authors to promote their work, and Authors Den does an excellent job helping authors do just that. They are working towards establishing even more options for their authors as well. Their Great! Yours truly Fictional Author Garry E. Lewis

AuthorsDen has over 1.4 million readers visting AuthorsDen monthly, the more authors the better for both authors and readers.

Excellent site to use as a business portfolio. I've received writing opportunities from my Authorsden site. The site is easy to find your way around and management is supportive and helpful.

A Lot Of What I Have Read Is Really Bad And Writte

A lot of what I have read is really bad and written by random people that is just preaching their opinions, and is it some kind of Christian site? As most of the articles that seem to be published are of a Christian nature.

Are there any other professional sites that offer free membership etc that are for writers? I.e the art of writing, and not just a way as to voice their own opinions.

I Have Been A Member Of The Authors Den Website Fo

I have been a member of the Authors Den website for several years, since 2001 - during its beginning. I am a lifetime member so I do not pay annual fees. I did pay for a subscription for two years, as a "gold" member, and during those two years I found their "services" and offers to publish; hard copy journal, individual author books and an anthology - to be false.

The problem with Authors Den is that it does not live up to its statement, "to bring authors and readers together". This website is closed to the public, which means the only readers the authors receive are "registered" with Authors Den. The only way an author can build readership is to send links to their contacts after posting work. The site offers nothing of value to the authors, which was the original "concept" - to provide a venue for authors, readers, critics, publishers, agents and editors to review works and establish relationships through networking. In this, Authors Den has failed. The idea that Authors Den is a site for professional writers is ridiculous! The writing and reading level of its core members is between 6.4 and 7.2. This is not a site which houses literary minds. It is a site for housewives and "prince and princesses" of poetry. There are exceptions to this generalization, and possibly as many as a dozen interesting writers, but all too often they do not stay on the website, as they recognize that there is no value in maintaining membership.

This is a vanity site, which is obvious by the number of asinine responses posted as reviews, to each of the core members. Critiques are few and far between. The only value to this site is to use it as an interchange between the author and his contacts, and as a filing system and index for personal use. There are questionable practices, some which may breech copyright laws, others which border on defamation and slander. Other concerns are the number of author's pages which directly link to questionable sites. The owner of the website is fully aware of these issues, that to date, remain unresolved.

I found this review helpful because... it provides an in depth look at my major concern. As a professional book reviewer, I expected to become a "reader" that would become involved with authors. Instead the site offered nothing to me as a new member except sending me form letters that were addressed to me as an author...Then they started to request money...before I even had a chance to understand where I might fit there...

I totally agree with this analysis...Readers do not randomly come and become members...I joined to respond to a client's needs and posted my reviews...I've done a few things, and will probably continue to check it out...but, frankly, unless readers are treated as well as the authors...what good can come for an author... I'd like to see some statistics that show that the readers have bought and discussed the books, etc., before I will be happy.
