Hi Lydia!
Yes, I’m working on a middle-grade mystery/action novel. I finished the rough draft and am now working on revising. I love getting new ideas, it’s so exciting to me!
I’ve never been great with themes either, but I’ve done research by reading fables and fairy tales, as well as other books, and deciphering their themes. I think you have…[Read more]

Hi! I’m Lydia, I’m currently seventeen. Do you have a current project? At the moment, I’m torn between a couple things; a sci-fi and a fantasy, both somewhere in the YA/children’s area. What’s your favorite part about writing? For me, I really love my characters. It’s so much fun playing around with them, watching how they interact, and…[Read more]

Hi everybody! As a teen writer myself, I would love to connect to other young authors who are serious about their writing and want to help. I’m putting this under middle grade/ children’s because that’s what I write, but if anyone knows a way to make this a main discussion point, perhaps under YA, that would be really helpful! Anyways, feel free…[Read more]

So…
Would anyone like to start a critique group?
I’m attempting to write a story about cats dealing with emotional problems.
Why cats? Because people are HARD to write especially when you have never written anything and are only really comfortable with writing cats.
I don’t really know if writing is a long term career or my higher calling. I…[Read more]

Hi Kendra! I’m Rose, pleased to meet you!
What’s the premise of your novel? I’d like to know more about it!
-
Hey Rose! Nice to meet you too!
My story is about a world without music. A boy named Remi has trouble fitting in with his family and avoiding trouble with the soldiers the patrol their bay. Then one stormy night, he meets a mysterious girl who is on a dangerous treasure hunt that will change their world.
It’s been a fun and challenging writing…[Read more]

That’s a really cool premise! It sounds like a lot of fun to write too!
I was curious, does it have a magic/special abilities system, because I’m generally a bit uncertain of those, so I’d like to know more about it if there is one 🙂Ooh, trilogies are the best! *High-fives fellow trilogy writer* I’m drafting the third book of mine, it’s been a…[Read more]

Hey Rose! Congrats on finishing your second draft! And that’s super cool you’ve already gotten a great start on your trilogy. So historical fantasy — tell me more about that. Is it based on our world in the past? Or are you using historical things in a totally different context? Would also be curious where the magic/fantasy part comes into your…[Read more]

Hey Kendra!
Thank you! Well, Historical fantasy is a term I like to use to describe what is essentially high-fantasy but rooted in historical events. So, it’s a fantasy world, but it’s based off real areas, cultures, and time periods, though it also has fantasy elements.
My project doesn’t have any kind of magic/special abilities system, or any…[Read more]

Hello fellow writers! Is anyone interested in swapping novels or forming a critique group? I’m currently in a secular critique group for my novel (about 70,000 words) and it’s been super helpful. At the same time, I’m really hoping to connect with other believers and learn how you are approaching your writing from a Christ-centered perspective…[Read more]
