Hello everyone, i just signed up this morning and have been trying to post the first chapter of my novel which is 7700 words long out of the 87000 which is only half my novel, so it is quite sizely. the thing is, when i paste my work into the content box all of my paragraphs are merged into one and my speech marks and inverted commas become '???'. has anyone had this problem before and/ if know how to solve it? I'm so eager to upload my work to see what people think,

thanks

Hey, Sun! :D

I have already reviewed one of your items so we know each other. It's a pleasure to have you here, and I hope you enjoy YWS. :D

From next time, if you have any questions you could post on here. If you still have any doubts, just contact any of the JMs, and I'd love to help if no one's available. :)

Besides that, introduce yourself here and let others know more about you. Like you favourite author, the genre you like writing, etc.

Hope you have fun.
