Hello, Eric. I was hoping you could help me with something. I can't seem to upload a picture of myself, though it is in jpg format. Any suggestions?

Thank you, I am a senior and actually was trying to contact another writer who does not appear to be her. I write poetry and self published :True Love Grows in Brooklyn, and wanted to send a copy to a Helen H. Hover as I was a student of hers. Not sure if this site is right for me.

Cheers for the mail Eric, appreciated. I took a look at your art and I am racking my brains to think who your drawings remind me of, unless I have seen your illustrations on something before possibly. Good stuff though. Dave.

Thank you for your welcome message. I like your illustrations. It would be great to find an agent who would work with both of us in creating a book that contains my writing and your illustrations. You would be perfect for the image I have in mind.

Just joined and you were the first to wish me the best. It just so happens I need an illustrator for a book cover.

Thanks for "deflowering" me on JacketFlap, Eric! I write adult literary fiction, so we don't intersect much, but I have a children's story stashed away. It's full of existential say-what? and I might come at you with it one day!

Hi Eric, How are you. I have a question. Are writers still able to upload photos onto Jacketflap? Nothing I try to upload, works. Please let me if you have any info about this.
