Interesting take on things! I actually dropped in to see whether anyone is still publishing in the Book Cafe? I mean, four days ago, I was asked by an editor to extend my piece by 400 words. I briefly withdrew it because I wasn't sure how. But I then decided I could do that, and I did what she asked. But I'd deleted the message, so I don't know which editor asked, and no one has published. Will it be published? Is there another problem? Is anyone publishing anything other than their own stuff on there these days?
