Hi Linda, I was sorry to see it go, but after most of the publication got plagiarised, it took a lot of chasing and frustration for me to get those posts removed from the external websites. I reconsidered my position posting history on here. Because history is timeless. I can sell it to magazines - and I was losing my work to plagiarists for 27 cents in earnings with one example! It wasn't worth it. I deleted most of my history stories, and have since offered a few to magazines. One sold recently for £200 with a few edits, so that worked. And I still own the rights, so in a few years, I can sell it again if I identify another opportunity. For that reason, I won't be putting them online. Thank you though.

It looks like some people have a lot more success with history than me. One of my last history stories earnt practically nothing. My top earner earnt $25, which again, isn't really worth it, when I can get £200 if a magazine bites.
