How do authors gain strong familiarity with archaic and extremely rare words? I've always found The Phrontistery to be fun: phrontistery.info |

Is it a bad idea to vary the voice of the narrator in third person (limited omniscient)? I don't know why, but I've always disliked the term "limited omniscient". I think "3rd person limited" and "omniscient" as separate things is better. (Not criticising Nate, it's a widely used term these days.) |

Submitting a novel for publication: do editors still expect Courier font? Yep, once you get used to seeing manuscripts in courier, they just look...right. |

What are the benefits of being a slush reader? @Final: I never said a waiver was "signing away your copyright" - don't put words in my...keyboard. If you can't enforce your copyright (with a particular publisher because you "signed" a waiver simply by submitting to them), and they use your work anyway, what meaning does copyright have? Tor's guidelines are consistent with pretty much every short fiction market I've seen. |

What are the benefits of being a slush reader? @Ben: Can't see any mention of a waiver at the moment: tor.com/blogs/2010/05/… |

What are the benefits of being a slush reader? @Final: While a copyright waiver might make sense when you're writing for an existing copyrighted setting (TV show or franchise like Star Wars), surely you wouldn't want to do this for your own creations? It would mean, effectively, that an author's copyright is meaningless. While some publishers may require it, I'm not convinced it's the norm, and it's definitely not "Any publisher". |

What are the benefits of being a slush reader? A waiver to sue over copyright infringement...really? I've submitted to a lot of places, and I don't recall ever seeing that. |
