There's this funny little
theory going around that
A writer is not a writer 
until s/he finds a reader
willing to read what the writer wrote.

During the 42 years it took for me to learn how to write professionally I broke many an arm getting someone to read what I wrote. Even today when a pretty woman comes to visit, I find SOMETHING of mine she will like to read.

Lin Stone's work is selling better all the time.Here is your chance to find your own readers without breaking their arms.  

Tale Wins will either link to or publish approved material from writers of "G' rated humor, short stories and articles.  Minimum length is 40 words, and maximum is 340,000 words.  Tale Wins invites you to post samples of your work here for the whole world to see, without charge or obligation.  Links to your other web sites are encouraged inside the stories.  Blatant ads for your work are permitted.  The only restriction is, your work MUST be G-Rated.

Bylines are included, bios and head shots are wanted, your own offers (like for newsletters) will be posted with your material.  Larger works can be published as an ebook.  And, there is no charge.  Click HERE for a sample.  

Again, NOTE:  If your work is G-rated, and GOOD, I can create a link to your page even if you don't want any part or portion of it posted on Tale Wins.  

For example: 

"The Merry Method To Accelerate Success  We believe a couple of things are very critical for both personal and professional success; here we describe to you these success builders."

Will it help?

The Tale Wins Literary Treasures site receives about 11,000 visitors per week.  The top page submitted by another writer is getting 982 visitors per week on the average. Your work can get read here.  Every published page is automatically submitted to the top 22 search engines.  Every page is linked to from other points of reference inside Tale Wins so that surfers to other sites can find YOUR material.  If there is any interest in your subject you can expect traffic to begin building immediately and continue to grow.  

What G-Rated Subjects Do I Want?

Things I don't want:

poetry, sorry, I'm just no judge of good or bad.  My opinion isn't worth a plugged nickel.  Now, poetry like that produced by Tulsa Butterfly I will publish here, but just don't figure it will do you any good.  I also won't publish anything not uplifting or capable of generating enthusiasm.

Submission Guidelines:

I will GLADLY accept e-mail submissions (BUT, NO ATTACHMENTS WITHOUT ADVANCE WARNING, PLEASE). Please edit your submissions carefully, and since my children do open our mail occasionally, please respect them by leaving out the explicit language, horror, sex or violence.  

Most importantly, all work must be your own.

Inside the material itself, be sure to include your name, address and e-mail.  IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR LETTER, please insert the words "SUBMISSION OF -- " and then state the category you're submitting to.

IMPORTANT Note:

ANY Articles MUST be carefully researched. Please, verify your facts before submitting. Naturally, I would prefer all articles be from the your own experience or view point. In short, unless you are interviewing an expert, do NOT write about anything you've never used or done.  By the very act of submitting here you are GUARANTEEING that you have the right to have the work published, and that you have researched your material and verified your facts.

Copyrights ©: 

IF you have already obtained official copyright on the submission you are making I will post notice in your name.  Otherwise, our blanket copyright notice ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED FOR THE CREATORS will cover your material.

What does that mean?  It means that your material has evidence of dated publication, and that you can have your material published in other places if you so choose, and in other mediums whenever you choose.

Payment:

A link to your page will be created free of charge.  You can send your friends, family, editors, and even agents to be impressed with your page!  Your E-Mail address can be posted on your page. Any author whose G-rated book can be approved here can have a web page here with up to 500 words of the book produced, FREE OF CHARGE.
