Hey everyone! I think it's time that I lay down some guidelines about promoting your work in this group. As you all know, there are some groups that are more geared towards promotions than others. I don't want to ban promos completely but nor do I want them all over the group, as they aren't really what this group is here for.

So here's what I'm thinking... If you've posted in this group about your story in order to get feedback and help, then it's okay to post a book promotion FOR THAT PARTICULAR STORY here. I know that if I've helped someone with my expertise, it makes me all the more eager to read their book. If your book is completely unrelated to former posts in this group though, please don't post it here.

If you do post a book promo here, please try to mention your former post when you put your promo up. For example, I've been asking questions on and off about stuff to do with ships and the ocean on here. Once I'm done that story, I'll put a link to it here, along with a reference to my old posts.

Does this make sense to everyone? If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Welcome to Ask the Experts! I hope you will find this page to be helpful and that everyone will be able to contribute their own expertise to the group! This group will only succeed if we work together to answer one another's questions. :)

Hey folks, so here's the basic idea.

1) Start a post with your questions, topics you are researching, etc. It might be an idea to scroll through previous posts and make sure that no one else has already posted about your topic. It might also be an idea to use a keyword in the first sentence (since posts no longer have titles on here).

2) Let your fellow experts take a stab at your question!

3) While you're waiting for your own question to be answered, have a look around at others' questions, see if you have any advice or knowledge to offer! Feel free to link to sites with info, recommend books, etc.

4) Please be courteous when dealing with one another's questions. No name-calling or put-downs.

5) PLEEEEEEASE tell your friends about this group! This will work the best if there are lots of people involved!

.... annnnd that's all.

So, questions?
