Some of the books you're putting out there are ones I've thought about, so we're in sync with making the world a better place, word by word. I'm excited about the work you're doing here. It's obvious there's a whole lot of heart in it. Look forward to contributing to an anthology or two soon. I'm in the early stages of my second book. Cheers and thanks for creating this space for creating, Mike. Lucinda in South Carolina I’m so happy to have found Dream of Things.

I actually just sent in a story, "Reluctant Rendevouz on the Riviera", for the humorous travel stories anthology. The list of possible anthologies on the workshop page are making me feel like a kid in a candy store. I can't wait to develop some stories! Hi Mike,

Thank you so much for your note. And congrats to you on making time for writing amidst the rest of your busy life. I'll look forward to reading anything you send our way. The Dina Kucera memoir I am publishing started out as a submission for an anthology. We liked the story she sent, turned out it was part of a memoir, and voila, we ended up publishing the whole thing! Hi Kristina! Thank you so much for your note.

Great website! I discovered it when I received my Writer's Relief newsletter email and it told about your submission call-outs. I love writing stories for anthologies, since I have a teaching job, two young children and a crazy schedule. Creative nonfiction is my favorite way to express inspirational stories from my life. I have stories published in Chicken Soup for the Christian Teenage Soul (2003/2008) and A Cup of Comfort for New Mothers (2009). I am a missionary kid and went to high school in Wheaton, Illinois and am now living in northern Indiana. Eventually, I'd like to write a memoir, or series of memoirs, so it's nice to know there is a publisher nearby. Thank you for the time and effort you've obviously put into creating this website- I can't wait to read more! Hi Mike!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful note and for the kind words about Dream of Things. I will look forward to reading some of your work. As a freelancer, you might also be interested in <a href="http://www.freelance-zone.com" rel="nofollow">Freelance-Zone.com</a>, run by a couple of very smart people with lots of insights on freelancing. I am a guest blogger there. Good luck on that novel! -Mike Hi Jane. Thank you so much for your thoughtful note and for the kind words about Dream of Things.

It has a very fresh feel to it, also a lovely sort of fantasy appeal that really lifts the spirit, and the colours you use are great. I wish I could put together a site that looked so good. I also love the ‘Hello Friends’ opening too. There, what else can I say to express my admiration for what you are doing? I write for some web magazines, www.seniorwomen.com being one of my favourites, and I would love to contribute to Dream of Things. I will send you a piece very soon if that’s ok. Just to mention you had a note recently about someone from Ireland finding you – well, I’m Irish too, but I ran out of that corrupt little island to live in France, down in the very south, in the foothills of the Pyrenees. I’m in a tiny hamlet of only five occupied dwellings. It’s very peaceful, a fantastic place to be. I have written a lot about life here, mostly for a rather upmarket Country Life magazine. I did that for four years and now of course am working on a novel, which is a challenge. I have so many ideas for things to write about that sometimes nothing gets done, that’s my problem. Endless notes and not enough projects finished. I would love to have a fortnightly or monthly column which would introduce a deadline (and some income!) but in this recession I am afraid the word ‘freelance’ gets a negative response from most Editors. However, I love writing. It’s what I adore about living here, having the time to do it. So, thanks for producing such a great site and good luck for the future. Best wishes Jane Moulis France Hello Mike
