Could someone please explain to me what makes a member a Novice, Author, Journalist, etc. I have looked all over the forum and can't find the answer. Thanks!

I think it is the amount of messages folk contribute to the board. May be it is judged by a certain amount eg from the beginning you are new, a novice, then you write more then you a an author, and so on?

Thanks Janice, I have always wondered but haven't asked.

Ha! When I first got on the Forum I felt a little 'inappropriate' because I thought most of the people were in the literary field and were authors and journalists!!
