Despite acclaim by accomplished writers my hub PORTRAIT OF A MOTHER is still to be featured. Would somebody please help?
I have no idea because I love your articles! Write to team@hubpages.com and ask.
Look into the revolving and internal changes that the publishing industry is taking and yet to be made.The merger of Random House and Penguin Group USA(known now as Random/Penguin),will continue to effect publishing as its moves slowly away from hardback,paperback and books,and looking toward new technology(kindles,i-pads,i-pods,tablets,smartphones,e-zines,etc.)and others,to boost profit,bottom lines and sales.Still for authors,journalists and writers,the opportunities abound as many authors are now embracing self-publishing,pod(print-on-demand)and marketing/networking and promotion of own work for control of content,sales and a greater profits over structured royalties and bonuses(advances)on proposed(not actual)sales.The possibilities are endless for writers/authors,and aspiring authors.There also are many authors now following independent/university presses to get into publishing,as well as forms to display writing skill as genres(novels(fiction,essays,short stories),non-fiction,poetry,etc.)in blogs,personal web sites,networking(facebook,twitter,you tube,etc,)that not only increases popularity and interests with readers,it gives an audience something genuine,unique,fresh and different to be expressed and peaks thoughts of those who partakes of it.So stand fast in talents,skill and efforts,continue to improve(read,edit and make changes),and step up to the floor.To be great,prepare to fail and make mistakes.No one ever became the best drooling over blank paper and making no effort to improve themselves.Writing(no matter how great),is always a work in progress,just waiting to leap off the page and say,"fantastic."
Wow, that's strange...Definitely inquire...
So, you work is not featured. All you can do is 1) nothing, or 2) trying to up-grade and resubmit it.
Have yet to finish profile.You'll see work when completed,be patient and wait.
I was addressing the person who started this thread.
Okay.Sorry for the misunderstanding.Have a great evening.
My hub PORTRAIT OF A MOTHER has since been featured. Thank you all for being very supportive.

For months I published no hubs and my hubber score sat around 96, in the last month I published three hubs, all of which are featured and each time I published one my hubber score dropped by two points, it's now down to 90. Is this how HP rewards us for our hard work? Correct me if I'm wrong but...

Who here is interested in starting a discussion group for those of us caught up in promoting our books? Self-published, indie-published or traditionally published, all authors need to self-promote. Let's share our experience. Let's work together.

If there are any professional, published authors here on hubpages (and I'm sure there are tons of you guys) I was wondering if someone could tell me if self-publishing is good or bad, and maybe give a couple of pros and cons. It would be my first book.

With the growing number of Hubbers that have published or self-published a book, an e-book, or other literary works, why not give them a self-promotion forum. Allow them to post relevant links there, for the benefit of authors and readers. Also, let them describe their works and authorship, link to...
