Yesterday I directed you to www.Threetreepublishing.com as a place  to submit your family stories.  Be sure to look at ALL the guidelines.  Pay is an honorarium of $50.  I'm not sure I understand all the rules and regulations, and have inquired further.  If the organization takes ALL RIGHTS in exchange for a $50 honorarium, I'm not sure I want to participate.  Always read ALL THE FINE PRINT for any contest or offering.

Recently my "Dancing On The Waters" was accepted by a Florida-based anthology publisher.  Due me is $50 but they are not taking all rights.  Chick Soup has offered a contract for my "Feline Fortitude," but from others who have published there, I learn that even a signed contract does not gurantee publication.  Sometimes a Ms (for length, emphasis, etc.) may find itself "on the cutting room floor."  However, the offer there is $200.  If they request it, I'd let all rights go for that price.

Still another anthology that has held an essay for a year,(Sniplits), reports that they are not publishing this year afterall and that I will hear later.

 Be wary.  It takes all kinds.  Blog-hugs to all, Willma
