I take offense

[WR.PARK]

This may be well out of line (if so, I apologize), but feel I must make the objection. I am a member of half-dozen such author sites; sites that I anticipated were to help authors to improve their craft by discussions with their peers, share ideas, knowledge, defeats, and successes.

However, recently I am being bombarded by promotions by marketing firms that are also members and taking advantage of the membership to push their wares, legitimate or suspect.

Personally, I do not believe they should be part of those who legitimately wish to pursue their craft without being perused by the equivalent of lawyer ambulance chasers

It's a free world and a free site, but these are my sentiments. Right or wrong..

Right, I agree that there should be a site where 'writers' can help each other out and connect and give criticism in such without having all these marketing adds.

Thank you, Olivia.

Right! I get quite enough junk mail as it is, and I grudge the time I have to spend deleting it, unread.

Thank you, Eve.
