fringecuts asked: Hi Visible Ink! Just to clarify, when it says submissions are limited to 3 entries per person, does that mean, for example, three pieces not exceeding the 2500 words limit in total, for $6? Or each submission is $6, so 3 entries will be $18? Sorry, little confused!

Talking e-books at tonight’s VI meeting! Specifically, can WE-book. SEE WHAT I DID THERE… …but 4 rlz guise. So far, what’s been surprising is how easy and (relatively) inexpensive it is to turn your bound book into a virtual one. There’s so much software out there! God bless the internet and people who know how to use it to do things.
