You can also upload the covers in imageshack http://imageshack.us/ or at the Dashboard>Media> Add New if you have contributor or author access in the site) http://tagalogonlinepocketbook.com/wp-admin/index.php

Always remember that writing is a whole bunch of re-writing. If you can't handle criticism (constructive or harsh) then perhaps you need to make yourself stronger. If you get hurt easily then you need to toughen yourself up. Do not shy away from corrections and do not be arrogant against it too. Learn to accept them as a different kind of love. A love that can make you grow as a person.

We shy away from trolls though. If there are TOPpers or admins who are hurting you with their words, feel free to PM then and us (the admins) but make sure that you didn't misunderstand the situation. Be open-minded!


Shortcut: You can send your manuscript to the group raw. But it would be exposed, flaws and all, unprotected on facebook. Send it here via email. topbook@groups.facebook.com

    I used to write short stories but I'am not about romance. But this is a great opportunity to writers who doesn't have the capability to publish their works. :)

    @chisair : No we don't profit from it. But some of the writers (two of our admins) are now writers for Chapter for the Hearts. So T.O.P. is kinda like a practice place where one can develop one's skills. Pero hobby site lang siya.

    @Herbert : ^.^ Cool!

    @Sining Factory : Yeah, most of the writers are super amateur so the grammar is usually not so good. ^.^ We just want to give them confidence. Me mga tao na magaling gumawa ng kwento pero needs a lot of help in putting it in coherent form. ^.^ That is where I come in. Marami pa ng akong dapat i-edit eh. My writing hiatus would give way to that.

    @Zane : Tatry nga namin na i-semi-automize by next year. ^..^
