Marilyn Pesola: Screenwriter in Virginia, Minnesota.

Marilyn Pesola
New author

I finally got my novel out on amazon. First as a Kindle and then as a paperback. It only took 20 years to do it. So proud of myself for actually doing it. Even prouder still that my screenplay won the 2013 Moondance Film Festival! It's been a heck of a year.

Self publishing properly, even an ebook, does cost. Cover design, story and copy editing, and formatting, at the very least. (Sure, you can just throw your work into the world, just be ready for it to collect dust.)

Hey Marilyn, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you...
