Did you have permission before you posted them? And were you published before that? My concern is that I'm not published yet so I don't want to risk it becoming an issue. And thank you Daniel. Hopefully that works.
If your excerpt is only a few pages, it shouldn't be a problem with agents/publishers. I include two one-page excerpts on my author website from each of my novels, with the full permission of my publisher.
It looks like a Text Box. You should be able to click on an Edit button at the top right of the box, then delete all the text in the main area (select it all and hit delete or backspace). After that, click on Save and you should be done.
I'm trying to remove my novel excerpt. When I got to try to get an agent, I don't want them to not select me because part of my novel is published elsewhere. If I can't is my only option to remove my profile and reestablish it?
What part of the page are you trying to remove? You may not be able to.
Have you looked at the Help tab on the menu at the top of the page? There may be something there that will help you.
I have a piece on my page that I want to remove but it won't let me. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
When I get to this point while writing, I usually take a few nights off. It clears my mind and gets me excited for it again the next time I open it.
Easy to read, whatever works. To an editor or agent, readability comes first, never mind the font name. Save the eyes.
For a concise explanation of font and its affect on word count, and how editors count words in real life...a podcast found at w...

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
