Has anyone ever got anything Published

i'm sorry but i never published anything. i am not talented in writing.

I've published two little things. I published a story in a church paper for kids. And I had an article published in Parents of Teenagers magazine. The first one paid $25, and the second one paid $50. I decided that it was far too time consuming and labor intensive for what I received in payment. I got tired of writing and sending out manuscripts only to get them back again. I had two small children at the time, and I decided I wanted to spend more time with them. I may try my hand at it again someday, but I never had the persistence in me to keep sending, being rejected, and resending manuscripts. I realize that Stephen King sent his Carrie manuscript out many times before someone bought it, so I guess I just get discouraged too easily.

No would love to but i am terrible with words.i tend to ramble and not get my point accross

no i have not i have a lot of peoms that i have written and some day i would like to pubish my own book with all of them! i did not know that chicken soup paid you 300 i thought that you just submit it and they either pick yours or they don't maybe i will submit something! i think that you should go for it there is a lot of things in some of those books that aren't the greatest so as long as your stuff is good then you have a shot!! go for it!

$300 is still lots of money..If you are here posting for pennies,nickels and dimes..surely $300 is something to go for;)+

No never tried it.

You should try it, you never know you might be good at it, 300.00 is 300.00.

I have actually published a few things, but my book is of my poetry and it can be found at http://www.geocities.com/whitmansbooks if you would like to take a look.

I have had few poems published, but they were from contests I didn't get paid for them to be published. I think you should go for it. It can't hurt to try and if you get paid for it that would make it worth your time to send it in.

In print, I have had several photographs published. Online I currently have a couple of stories (true ones not fiction) published. When you are starting out, getting into print is more important than the money you make. If you do a whole book, then I would suggest you not give up royalties.

I had three poems published on www.poetry.com, the put them into anthropologies, then if you wanted a copy of it you had to buy it yourslef lolol

nope....

I sent a poem to a poetry contest once and they said it was published, but I don't really know because they wanted $40 to buy the book it was published in. They keep sending me emails, but they all want money, so I figure they should be paying me for my work, not me paying them. Anyway, I have written a book, which is now with my editor and am planning to publish it myself. $300 bucks sounds not so bad for an article, I'd go for it!

Yes two years ago

I've submitted to Chicken Soup also and never got accepted. Even though they only pay 300$ it still helps. But I did publish a collection of poetry that available on amazon.com called Beyond Sunsets.

I have a short autobiographical story that is supposed to be published as part of a collection of shorts in February. The think about writing is that it doesn't pay well at all, unless you get to superstardome-level (like Stephen King). It's usually a lot of work for little reward, but the only way you can build a name for yourself is to get published.

but i think there is no harm in trying to send it to Chicken Soup. They will accept it and you might get a steady income from there

some of my poems were published in a leading magazine in my home country, india. however, i didnt expect any remuneration for my attempts..

i think i should do that... i have some great things to say and also want the world to know:)
