Has anyone here been published? Was it a story, article, poem, recipe?

I was published for the first time when I was fourteen. I won a story contest and my short story was published in Disney Adventures magazine. That was the October 1994 edition. When I was in high school, I was a writer and editor for our school newspaper. When I was twenty, I started having more poems and short stories published in various magazines and two years ago I was a columnist for Wordsmith magazine. I also have done freelance jobs such as press releases, keyword articles for the internet, and various other odd jobs. I have a book coming out by the end of the year (hopefully). The name of it is, 'Surviving Jane.' It has taken years for me to write and I am excited about its release.

I've been published several times. I have had several pieces published in national/international magazines, as well as writing feature articles for a local paper here in Oregon. I've also had several poems published, and a short story published in an anthology called "The Other Side of the Doorbell". I am currently working on my third novel, while trying to market my first one. I'm also working on an e-book project right now. Rejection is part of the game we play. It's kind of like cat and mouse. I don't keep track of the number of times. I love writing. My life wouldn't be worth living, if I couldn't write. I also write online content. My favorite site is Assoicated Content. They are one of the best paying sites on the web. http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=15512 Do you write as well? I'm going to check out Carol's books on Amazon as well. I am all for supporting other writer's efforts. It helps us all.

well friend its a good idea to get things publish them on the net but some time back my wife wanted to publish her cook book deits for deitabitic persons but one of famouus auther whanted to high jack her book and print it in his name ,it took her back and just waiting for the right time.

When I was in high school the Toronto Star published a poem I wrote. It was a rhyming poem describing one particular Toronto Maple Leaf hockey game. This spring I had a short story published in a magazine connected to our local newspaper. I was not paid for either of these. I am diligently working on my first novel and hope to get it out soon (that means in two years!). I have submitted an article to a woman's magazine, it was rejected. I submitted some poems to a literary magazine - rejected; and a short story to a Christian magazine - rejected. I have two other short stories sent to two other magazines who I am still waiting to hear from. I will look into Carol's books. Her name sounds familiar. I am Canadian as well.

If it counts, I am published on associated content and poetry.com But my favorite was 2 christian websites. The first published my poem no pay, the second published same poem asked to put it on theirs. I cant recall the url or the poem now. But I was proud. I also had a free non pay poem published in my school little poetry notebook.

I too use lulu.com. It is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my writing career. I published my first novel with lulu. I now have an eseries publishing company that publishes weely ebooks. They are almost like literary soap operas. I have been doing pretty well. I love what I do. In about another two weeks I will be done with school and my company will be my full time job. Writing is my life.

I think you will say that I cheated as I used to publish my own magazines. They were of smallish circulation (about 2000+ per issue) and I distributed them to subscribers via mail order. My main theme was business opportunities and I used to write the majority of the articles myself. It was an enjoyable period of my life but was sometimes stressful with having to meet deadlines. I always published on time. So that's my publishing experience! Mike.

I have had an article published in a magazine. About different show lacing techniques and making your own shoes. It was a thrill and since our housefire, it is gone, I hope when I am ready I can contact them and get another copy for my portfolio. I submitted it directly to them.

I had a poem published back in November 2006.The website is poetry.com.The title of my poem that was published was Love is....

Yes I have published a poetry collection titled 'mirrorhouse', one novel titled 'The Waiting' plus 7 edited books on birds and environment related things. But all are in my Gujarati languege!

I've been published a few times-- first time was my entry for the Texas college freshman creative writing contest in 1981, which finished 3rd (of 1000s) and ran in "Texas Monthly" magazine. Most recently I wrote a series of six articles (on the history and use of fountain pens, of all things) for a medical periodical called "MD News." I've got several manuscripts for books (both fiction and non-fiction) "in the works," but have never been able to actually sit down and finish any of them-- the shorter format seems to work a lot better for me. I do have a fine "collection" of rejection letters from magazines and periodicals...

Three of my poems have been published but this happened long ago, when I was still writing :) Two of them were published in the school's magazine and the other one (the first one, in fact) in a local newspaper 6 years ago. I still am really excited, as I've always considered this as an achievement, maybe I sound too proud of myself, but I'm not, it's just that it was really hard those times to be published and especially at my age. When I was contacted by the editor of the newspaper I felt like the whole world became mine. I was a child but I guess I would be just as happy if that happened again :) I don't think I could ever get to write a whole book but maybe one day I will be able to go back to poetry. After all, all this superficial life we're living doesn't bring too much inspiration anymore...

The only articles I published are on helium.com you should really check it out i think that it as close as Iget

I have had two poems published on poetry.com when i was 16. i havent put anyone more on the site since because i wanna publish my own poetry book one day i've writen over 90 poems in the last few years and once i hit 120 i'm going to revise them all and try to find a publisher who will look and my work and possibly publish them. I know it's a long shot but it's something i won't give up on. if anyone has any advice feel free to let me know!

I have had several poems published, nothing really great just sort of doodling for me. I don't write articles because I tend to be to verbose so I stick with short and sweet poems. Some tend to be a little deep but only if you are looking...:}

I've had one of my poems published with Poetry.com. I also have an article published with Associated Content titled "Knowing when it's time to leave". My name on there is "Silent Thinker". I also have 2 more articles pending publishing.
