No, it's coming.
Plus my own articles on NavIndie always send tons of traffic to my blog so you're killing two birds with one stone when you let us publish. :)

In addition to views to your personal blog, some are also seeing an increase in sales!

So yes everyone, let us publish your articles. You could be one of the lucky ones too. :)


*p.s. I only DM people if I did not like article and would love to see some changes or if I'm about to post it.

message 17: by Angel (new)

Angel | 723 comments Hi, Alexis! I pmed you in response to your request for a blurb for my short story.

I also have a blog post about how to write blurbs, if you want to post it on the site.


message 18: by Amy (new)

Amy Hamilton | 2560 comments Have also PM short story blurb.


message 19: by Alexis (new)

Alexis | 861 comments Thank you ladies. I got them and will be sending you a version of the anthology for you to approve tomorrow. You ladies rock. I want to thank you again for writing the stories on such short notice. :)


message 20: by Alexis (new)

Alexis | 861 comments Posting a very thought provoking article on Nav Indie in a second. The author says: promoting does not work.
That should lead to some interesting discussions lol.


message 21: by Aislinn (new)

Aislinn I read and commented. Certainly an interesting take!

And I'm looking forward to this anthology!


message 22: by Alexis (new)

Alexis | 861 comments Hi everyone! I've been sick for a while now and it kind of got worse lately. Nothing too too serious though so please no worries, but because I'm in recovery mode and I haven't had chance yet to groom others to do the posting on NavIndie, things have slowed down a bit and we're running late with the newsletter and the free book. I hope to be back at it soon.

Believe it or not, I was actually just wondering about you. I was thinking I hadn't seen you on here in a while and was hoping everything was ok. Sorry to hear you have been sick and I hope you get to feeling better soon. I have been referencing your website creating article and have been working on a website. Thank you for all the great info! :)


Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger) (sammydogs) | 970 comments Alexis, Sorry you've been sick. Hope you're much better soon. Hugs!!


message 25: by Amy (new)

Amy Hamilton | 2560 comments I was wondering if you'd been abducted by aliens. Hope you're feeling better soon. Glad they let you go. Hope the probing wasn't too rough.


message 26: by Aislinn (new)

Aislinn Feel better soon, Alexis! We've missed you around here.

Theodore Cohen (theodorejeromecohen) | 1449 comments That's a bummer. Hope you're better soon.

Christine (christineroney) | 261 comments Hope you're better soon, Alexis.


message 30: by Alexis (new)

Alexis | 861 comments Thanks for the well wishes everyone!
I am feeling better.

We have a bit of bad news though. We only received two submissions for the Spring anthology and well, two books don't make an anthology. After thinking it through we've decided to postpone the release of the free anthology until summer. It's important that whatever we release reflects positively on NavIndie and we felt that releasing just two stories wouldn't make us look too great.

Please everyone, if you commit to a story let us know next time that you won't be able to submit it anymore.

Anyways, we've learned from this and will be much more nitpicky and strict next time (read: annoying).

To all those who were awaiting the anthology, all we can do is apologize. We're happy for your interest and hopefully this won't happen again.

To Amy and Angel, thank you for your submissions, please PM me and let me know if you want us to save your story for the next round.

Postings on navigatingindieworld.com will resume as normal starting this week. We have some interesting articles coming your way, including a continuance of my Wordpress series. And remember that we're always interested in new articles!


message 31: by Amy (new)

Amy Hamilton | 2560 comments I feel your pain. I put effort into that. Keep it for the next one. I can write another one for summer if you want. If you want I'll write the whole damn anthology!


message 32: by Amy (new)

Amy Hamilton | 2560 comments I have one for summer in my head. I just need to remember Summer and leather trousers. How's that for a start?


message 33: by Amy (new)

Amy Hamilton | 2560 comments Alex wrote: "I've remembered the article I was going to write now, *claps hands excitedly* it's on the various elements you need for a crime book. I'll get on it in a bit."

Admit it, it was the mention of leather trousers that reminded you wasn't it?!?

Carole P. Roman | 4665 comments Mod
I'll work on something too!!!


message 35: by Nat (new)

Nat Kennedy | 153 comments I guess I didn't realize you were looking for shorts.... I didn't know what the theme was, etc.... I'm out of the loop at times! Good luck with the next one and hopefully it lands in my radar. :)


message 36: by Alexis (new)

Alexis | 861 comments Great new article up on the web! :)


message 37: by Shannon (new)

Shannon Drawe | 30 comments Quick question - I know I said I'd like to add a short to the summer anthology...and I'm almost done! Of course, then comes the edit. Is there a deadline?


message 38: by Alexis (new)

Alexis | 861 comments Has it really been two f#cking months?



Life, with all its ups and down and awful things and great things, got in the way. I shouldn't have just disappeared though but would you all believe me if I told you I was so consumed with so many stuff that I barely even thought about Goodreads? That's how crazy my life got. I hope everyone is doing well. :) And I apologize for disappearing.

Two months, jeez.
Seriously felt like two weeks.


Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger) (sammydogs) | 970 comments Sorry your life got so crazy, but it's good to know you're okay, Alex! Hugs

message 43: by Amy (new)

Amy Hamilton | 2560 comments Hope you're OK Alexis. And breathe...
