#CleanWIP Half-Price Bride: A wet dishrag slapped against the counter. “Memphis ain't that far. It being a big city, Em'ly could find work there—plus a boarding house to move into.”
Hands shaking, Emily tore open the envelope and gasped as two one-hundred-dollar bills fell out.

“Ahh, freedom. I can’t wait to get home and fill my lungs with some fresh, sea air.”

“Couldn’t agree with you more. City air’s stale and stuffy. I don’t know how people can live stacked on top of each other. Forty minutes from the coast is too far for me.”#CleanWIP

“What’s going on, Papa?” a little girl asked the man sitting next to her.

“Steam engines aren’t allowed in this part of the city, darling. They produce too much smoke and steam. The engineers are hitching the cars to horses to pull us the rest of the way.” #CleanWIP

The CleanWIP Experience

For a time, CleanWIP Magazine worked closely with published authors and writers who are aspiring to be published as well as other creative people such as artists, poets, bloggers, and songwriters in our CleanWIP collaboration group for authors (et al) and via the #CleanWIP hashtag to bring readers interesting sneak peeks into their works-in-progress and published books plus full-featured articles, personal reflections on the thoughts and struggles from a rough draft to a published work, and special collaborations on various topics. Though the magazine is no longer active, this site might still prove an enjoyable way to meet your next favorite author.

We still encourage writers who market their work as clean to use the #CleanWIP hashtag on any social platform to share sneak peeks from yet-to-be-published works. We also encourage use of the hashtag for a single relevant release day announcement. On Fridays, we relax the structure even further and encourage using #CleanWIP to share relevant news, interesting teases from a work-in-progress or published work (purchase links encouraged on Fridays), or something else our readers might love. Actual use of the hashtag is not within our control and even on this site we will sometimes share #CleanWIP content that doesn’t strictly meet these guidelines.
