What sucks is how they ask for you email. Now I’m thinking who did I just give my email to for just 14 pages of a book that was promised.
Yes, my download was successful and I learned a lot from the hints given in the book, but it started from page 270 or some such thing.
I have a whole collection of short stories and short short stories, but I need an agent who would publish the collection in one lot.
Yeah I have had the same problem. It will say Success! But no download….
I am hoping this downloads! My name is Marvin D. Schrebe. I am the owner/editor of Mid0-Ohio Valley Poetry Magazine in Parkersburg WV. We are a new magazine and we are taking submissions from new writers without a query letter. Can you believe that? Submit short stories for the June issue by May 15th. No longer than 2,000 words please and keep them child friendly. We are a family oriented, Christian magazine. I am an ordained minister. We need haiku for the June issue also. We pay in subscriptions to the magazine or $15.00 per issue, which ever the author prefers. Circulation currently is unknown because we are still taking orders. Subscription rates are $15.00 postal and $10.00 e-mail.
Thank you.

To Kim and others: I was able to download by clicking on “Profile” at the top right, above the search box labeled “Follow Writer’s Digest.”
I don’t know where you mean, “to the right of my profile info?” I see a search box where I can follow on Facebook and Twitter. I don’t see my profile info anywhere. This isn’t only a problem on this page, I find this problem on many of your pages. I understand the need for advertising, I have no problem with it. Please, give download instructions more clearly and make buttons and other obvious or ostentatious links. Thanks. Today has been a particularly frustrating day on your site, and I only have limited time for surfing it.
Yes unfortunately there is no download button anywhere for this. Perhaps less advertising would make this page easier to use….
I have had the same problem…and this occurs regularly.
I signed in at http://www.writersdigest.com/how-do-i-write-sell-short-fiction by going to http://www.writersdigest.com/login as directed but was not given a way to access the promised download.
Also, I had to register anew at the sign in page even though I am taking a Writer’s Digest class using the same id.
The downloads are in a box to the right of your profile info.
Hope that helps.
