Nice to meet you. Welcome to Authors.com Charles. :) I hope you enjoy being amongst us and I’ll look forward to hearing more about your writing. Apart from the forum, all members have blogs and there's also a Christian Authors Group too you'd be very welcome at.

You're very welcome, Charles. :) I'm not familiar with ideamarketers. Would you mind sharing a little more information on that please?

Hi Kay. Ideamarketers is an 'essay service', I'm not sure what else to call it but that. You can select from a number of categories and genres, post your essays and publishers can pick them up for ezines and newsletters. I liked it because it is free, and is great for publicity. I have been with them for about two years, and I had a good 'internet reputation' to help with the launch of my first book last April. Helium is similar to ideamarketers, but larger in scope. If you need a place to establish a writing reputation, I'd suggest either of them. Regards.
