Hey, all...

I've wanted to volunteer for this kind of work for a long time, and I'm glad to finally find you folks!

I look forward to joining a project and getting started... for now, I'll be in the support forum.

Hello and Welcome!

Have a look around and read some of the sticky's on the top of each forum, they should provide some info. If at all in doubt, just holler, someone will get back to you as soon as we can.

Enjoy yourself!

Poetry, huh?

hmm...

I think I'll look for a short story compilation or something.

Every time I read poetry I flash back to "So I Married An Axe Murderer"

LOL, I actually choked on my soda when I read that!
It pretty much sums up how I think of poetry too.
If you are brave you can jump right in with something longer that appeals to you, but it would be a good idea to submit it to the Listeners & Editors Wanted forum first just so that we can iron out any wrinkles in the begining (usually low volume and other little technicalities.)

Best of luck!

Greetings, fellow Losangelesian! I would strongly suggest some chapters of a novel to warm yourself up -- it's easier when you are simply one cog in a giant spinning wheel. Then work yourself into the solo stuff.
