[stylist] Submission services?

[Lynda Lambert]

I will let you know what I find out. I did send in three samples to their 
jury process - and should hear back after the jury does the selections later 
this month.
It was FREE to do that , so I gave it a shot.  BTW, it has  to be three 
samples of things that have not been published in print or on line.
I noticed they do run some competitions at various times during the year, 
with very good prize money. For that, there is only a "donation" fee, and 
they suggest only a couple of dollars for the jury fee. That is very 
reasonable. I have no problem with jury fees - any credible visual artist is 
accustomed to paying them for just about any good show they enter.  I 
suppose it is the same with the writing contests who offer significant prize 
money too, for their winners.

I thought maybe someone here might have used this service - we'll see.   I 
also noticed they do offer a web building service for "writers."  They post 
the fees  structure for that on their site as well - I have read it there - 
it starts at $299. and goes up to over a thousand dollars for different 
levels of their services and site building.
