Hi, everyone! I tagged a bunch of people I thought might be interested in this post.
So, tomorrow I am releasing an ebook on Amazon called “Memory Lane Was Moved”. I encourage you to visit the webpage it is listed on here. It…[Read more]

Yes, I’d love to help!
The more eyes, the better!
Indeed mam.
I will do the same for you.
“you could give as much or as little critique as you felt in the mood for”
Thank you for offering to read my book.

Gracie, I totally understand if you’ll be busy, but if you’re willing to help, I don’t mind if it takes a while. I could send you the story chapter by chapter, and I wouldn’t send a new one until you were through with the one that came before, so you wouldn’t feel backlogged. And you could give as much or as little critique as you felt in the mood…[Read more]

Zee replied to the topic Publishing questions in the forum Publishing and Marketing Nerds 5 years, 9 months ago
I’m new, so I hope you all don’t mind me jumping in to comment. Just wanted to say thanks to you, Rebekah, for being so willing to share your struggles and questions, and for having the humility to take even the painful advice in the spirit it’s meant. And to the rest of you, thanks for sharing your wisdom! I’ve also recently self-published…[Read more]

character development
I’ll tag you to a character building game on here.
It’s helped me with learning about and rounding some of my characters.
Would you be interested in giving me a more in-depth critique of the whole thing as I go along?
Interested, yes, very. (But I’m not sure you want me to do it.)
Disclaimer: I’m not sure if I’d be a very…[Read more]

Thanks for reading, Gracie! I appreciate it. Yes, this is by no means a finalized draft, so I’m sure there are plenty of typos lurking. At this point, I’m looking more at story flow, possible plot holes, character development–stuff like that.
Would you be interested in giving me a more in-depth critique of the whole thing as I go along? If so,…[Read more]

Okay, here’s the idea. Would you be willing to put your email up here? On this thread? It won’t show on the ‘recent activity’ page.
Unless someone’s specifically looking for this thread (or a part of the conversation) they shouldn’t find it. And then you can erase what you put on this thread, where you can’t on the other.
-
Sure, that sounds good. I’m still figuring out all the nuts and bolts of this site. Here’s my email: btznvnt@gmail.com
Now you can just send an email to me, and then I’ll have your address, and you won’t have to put it on the forum at all.

Thanks!

I actually haven’t received an email from you yet. If you’ve changed your mind about critiquing for me, that’s fine, but I just wanted to let you know in case you thought I’d received it.

-
No! I still would like to critique! I sent an email to you, it just didn’t go through. I will be trying again as soon as I’m done with this post.
-
Ok, I sent it.

I love your story past and plan! With that description, I would buy it.
I saw a few minor typos, but that (from my point of view) was all that was wrong per se.
I liked how you described the atmosphere of the old man’s home. And then this:
a dark sadness without an end in sight.
That stuck with me.
….When he saw them, he stopped…

As this is the third book in a series, it might be a little confusing to just jump in–so, a little background is in order. While the series genre is Romantic Suspense, we also have some fantasy/alternative history elements at play due to the fact that the stories are set in Sevia. It’s a fictional Eastern European country, plagued by unrest and…[Read more]

Hello, fellow nerds. I just signed a book deal with Elk Lake Publishing for my Christian sci-fi novel, Brimstone 1. I teach marketing at Christian universities around the country. Looking forward to connecting and learning in this group.

@zee Hey! Nice to meet you!
I think if you want feedback, you just ask, and people can jump on if they’d like.
If you tell me a little bit more about your story, I might be interested. Around StoryEmbers, we love reading and helping out with other people’s stories.

Ok, sounds good! My WIP is the third book in a series; the first two have already been published. The series genre is technically Romantic Suspense, but since the stories are set in the fictional country of Sevia, I also have a fantasy/alternative history thing going. I’ll go ahead and post Chapter One here on the Contemporary Fiction forum, and…[Read more]

Oh, we love helping people with their current writing works!
So what I normally do, and other people, is post your story in whatever group (fantasy, contemporary fiction, historical fiction, horror, mystery/suspense/thriller, romance, sci fi, or writers of children’s books) it fits in on the forum page. (Make sure you’ve joined that…[Read more]

Thank you! That’s what I’ll do.

I’ve been a member of another great online community ChristianWriters.com, for a little over two years now. In that time I’ve learned so much about the craft of writing/storytelling, and gotten amazing encouragement and help–so much so that I ended up self-publishing two short novels this year.
Now, with my third in progress, I feel that I need…[Read more]
