Good luck. I found it tough to promote erotica of any flavour.I think if someone had a following on Wattpad, they could do well on Radish if they could convince their readers to switch. I had no following and therefore no readers. When I was writing for them it seemed that the only books they wanted to feature under their weekly headings had bare male torsos on the cover. That might have changed. It seemed to be an OK place for romance and hardly anything else. I haven't looked at it in months, only to check that my four titles were still up there, purely out of interest. And lastly, I was only accepted because someone recommended me. When I applied off my own back, I was rejected.

Hi Sarah, it's still me! I reverted back to my real name last year, Amy is my pen name. All four of my titles are still on Radish Fiction under my pen name (and still largely unread!)
One publisher I tried has their guidelines here: https://www.totallyentwinedgroup.com/...
What is not acceptable is similar for the others I tried years ago.
Yep, that was very interesting.

Thanks Anna and everyone. I told him straight away what I thought of his idea. It's not Alzheimer's. I think he was being serious.
According to a couple of people who have it, I have the signs of MS, but you can have all the symptoms of MS and not have MS. You only know for sure if you have the tests done. So we'll see. I haven't changed much in ten years. So whatever it is should be looked into.
Yes Angel, charge for your work.
Thanks Carmel. I am hoping for a diagnosis. Like Carole says, answers are best. Although I’m not sure I like the sound of my husband’s answer on my birthday recently when he said, “it could be anything... early onset Alzheimer’s...” I thought, Cheers mate!
Money. It's all down to money. I had to negotiate blood tests last year. I won, and two of my blood tests picked up something that wasn't right. But all this stuff costs the NHS money and they're reluctant to refer people. Took me a year to get a mammogram for an issue I found as I'm too young to have a routine one, yet breast cancer killed my mother. I should have insisted at the time, but I felt guilty for asking to use their technology.
Alex wrote: "I'm so glad you have an appointment with neurology. I really hope they figure out what is causing your problems and fix it for you."Thanks. The GP was reluctant, "it's very specialist" was his opinion. He doesn't think they'll find anything wrong and I'll just be deemed clumsy. So be it, but I'd like to know for sure.
Not sure if this counts for good news. I've been referred to neurology and have an appointment at a hospital I have never been to before in June. No doubt they will find nothing wrong with me and I'll still be dropping things, falling over nothing and slurring my words. But at least I have an appointment.
Good news Alex. About time you had some of that.
Thanks Sam.
If I had the money, Dale, I'd chuck it at someone to fix all these problems. Alas, I'm far from wealthy.I like my cover for Missing Remnants too, Alex, but I'm beginning to wonder if I need to put a person on it somehow rather than a shiny space station.
No snow is SE England yet. Sleet last night. It's chilly.
That doesn’t look good Alex. I hope nothing comes if it. But it does look like you’re at risk of losing Amazon. As for KU. I put Missing Remnants in KU. I set up some Amazon ads. I’ve had no page reads. I will be ending KU in February. Maybe I need a new cover but I can’t afford anything fancy. The only people who have bought it in recent months are me and Carole. So I am not being read, at all, ever.
