Greetings, everyone! My name is =Squarix and I run the Questions and Answers section of ProsePlease.

Have any questions?

Something I'm doing wrong?

A concern of some kind?

Please feel free to contact me via ProsePlease; I'll be happy to help you out!

The first Q&A interview of 2008 is out, featuring our very own ^StJoan. You can check it out here

You can look forward to the next feature in February, and I'll try to keep on tab with a regular feature at the beginning of each month. The next interview of Q&A will also have a news article, so keep your eyes peeled for that as well.


Do you have a suggestion for a writer that you think deserves to be featured? Then send a note to ProsePlease saying "Q&A feature," with your suggestion.

ProsePlease's Q&A (Questions and Answers) is dedicated towards interviewing members of deviantART who write prose (the chosen members do not have to be members of ProsePlease). Each month a new individual is chosen by the Q&A coordinator and an specific interview time is scheduled.

The interviews can be handled in two different fashions:

1) The Q&A coordinator personally interviews the selected individual via note
Once the interview is complete, the Q&A coordinator evaluates the interview transcript and uses the information to write an article in the style of one you would find in a magazine or news paper. The article is then submitted to ProsePlease for viewing purposes.


OR

2) The selected individual is invited to the ProsePlease chatroom
Others are welcome to join in and ask the individual their own questions about things such as technique, style, trouble-shooting, etc. During this time, the Q&A coordinator is present, recording the questions and the individual's responses.

The individuals are selected personally by the Q&A coordinator, but suggesting members of deviantART for future interviews is always appreciated.

If you are incountering some issues when attempting to figuring out when a Q&A event is going to be held in your time zone, be sure to check out the following website: [link]

Select the date and time that the next Q&A is set for in the first group of drop-down lists. Underneath the date and time select "Canada - Ontario - Toronto", as this is the time zone which the date of each Q&A will be listed. For the final drop-down menu, select your current location, then click on the button below ("Convert time"). The results will be shown in a table with three sections. The first two ("Location" and "Local Time") are the only two in which you need to know.
