Chapter One

If you arrived here by choosing the link called "sample chapter," you would expect to find the text of the first chapter of the book that was linked to this page. It would look very like this, only longer.

If you arrived here by choosing the link called "Embiid" or "More Info," that's because, not having a real chapter to display on any of these pages, this is where I've put more details about how to get one of these pages done for you.

If provided with all the necessary information and graphics, I can do a page like one of these samples free for any SFWA member as a service of the SFWA Web Site. (Or inexpensively, for non-SFWAns.)

This offer includes one sample chapter ONLY if it is provided in electronic format either on (IBM) disc or via email; I can scan photos and book covers if they are street-mailed to me, but I charge $3/(ms)page to retype from hard copy. (No, I can't scan text from hard copy; I don't have either the software or the patience.)

This is an experimental service. Things might change (she said ominously), depending on the response. How much promotion I am able to do for each page depends on how much free time I have, but at the very least I will list it on the SFWA Members' Pages list and with the SFF Net author listings.

If you plan to learn HTML so you can update and/or improve your page later, you should apply for a free home page with SFF Net. I can still provide the initial page design. (That applies also to anyone who already has a SFF Net page.)

For more information on Embiid page design, prices (for additional services or for non-SFWAns), and requirements, email me at melisa@sff.net

For examples of pages I've designed and maintain, see the SFWA site, the Bulletin page, and my home page.
