I was just looking at a writing forum my friend visits, to see what it was like, and came across a rather worrying thread that had been stickied.
Apparently if you publish too much of your novel online it can damage your chances of getting a publishing deal. This is because anything previously posted online is regarded as published.
So if you post too much of your novel for critique it could be classed as previously published and rejected by a publisher.
The advice given by those with experienced in working for publishers was that anything more than a chapter would be rather dodgy in terms of being classed as published (it would actually be classed as a reprint)
It is okay to post into a password protected, special access group, ie one with restricted access. Does our show case qualify as a special access group, given that you have to make so many posts before you can enter?
Any thoughts?
