(P.S. I love your tagline, Brian Jacques is one of my FAVORITES!)

I was actually thinking of Ranger’s Apprentice myself when I read your initial post! It is aimed for a Middle Grade audience, and there is very mild swearing, so I think it can depend. And I feel like there have been other MG books I’ve read that had mild swearing, b…[Read more]

I’ll definitely read those articles, and I really like the bribing idea! I’ll have to come up with something to offer, maybe a short story or poem. Thanks again!

If anyone has any advice on platforming, I’d really appreciate it! I’m trying blogging and instagramming, but I often find myself out of ideas of what to post/write next. Does anyone know any good resources/have any ideas on what I could try?

Thanks! 🙂

I’m not sure which animal would make the best pet in my WIP’s world. One of my MCs has a little dog named Fifer. He looks like a cross between a Shiba-Inu and a corgi, is puppy sized, and has antlers! According to this MC, the dogs around the world have a variety of different features, like…[Read more]

But, like Brandon said, a team that knows the publishing industry would hopefully not allow me to release a book that needed improvements. I’d also have no idea what to do with the technicalities like cover designs…[Read more]
