Is it possible to use rewards points towards purchase of on line directory?

It's all too easy to criticise, but not being a businessperson myself (or rather: being a total financial failure at every business I've ever attempted) I'm not the ideal person to give business advice.

And one must appreciate the fact that - while networks catering for writers and hosted by publishing houses are dropping like flies all over Internet (Authonomy is the only other one that I joined, hosted - I believe - by Random House. It shut up shop about a month after I signed up, but I'm a member of a closed Facebook group of former Authonomy users.) - W&As is hanging in there, offering a very welcome oasis at which we writers (and artists) can support each other.

For which they have my heartfelt thanks.

Thanks Jimmy.

I agree and can't see why. Makes me disinclined to buy anything from W&A.

Like a previous poster I live so far away that workshops are not really practical and in any case all seem to be geared to novellists. Not much use.

They are offering (until the end of May) 50% off the published price of the PRINTED version of both the WAYB and the Children's WAYB. Why not the on-line version, too?

Makes me wonder whether a whole batch was printed with a few pages upside-down, but I'll be ordering a copy of each, anyway. (I'd order the digital version IN ADDITION if this offer extended to it.)
