Thanks for the tip! I probably won’t contact them, but thanks for letting me know!
Nelson is really good at writing. However, I don’t like all of her books, and I don’t think any of them gripped me like The False Prince did. A Night Divided was pretty good though. I was reading another about a girl who was smuggling books, or she…[Read more] -

That’s exciting your library is ordering your book! Your other story ideas sound really cool too. I love a good mystery. And I like the title, ‘Charging For Friendship’.
I heard getting an agent is hard; did you have to do a lot of research beforehand to find the reputable companies? Or did you start with a type of book market guide?

Hi!
I haven’t really been selling too many copies, but I think it’s going pretty well. My library ordered six copies so that’s exciting! I started the sequel, but (one death later) I didn’t know exactly where I was heading with it and got side-tracked with other projects. I’m in the middle of waiting to hear back from queries…[Read more]

Hey there! I’m sooo sorry I missed your question! Normally, I get an update from my email when someone replies; so either I forgot to turn on that feature, or the reply became lost somewhere where I can’t find it. Either way, I haven’t visited S.E until more recently. And in my S.E updates, it mentioned your reply *slams palm ont…[Read more]

Inklingflame replied to the topic Hi 🙂 in the forum Contemporary Fiction Writers 5 years, 7 months ago
Hello everyone! I know my name is confusing, but you can call me Mia (inkling, or flame, or whatever). If any of y’all are in the fiction then you know they talk a ton (well more then we do 🤣) Maybe everyone here is an introvert. Anyway, I’m brand new to writing contemporary fiction, but I love the idea and I have a story idea!
I do have a qui…[Read more]

@josiah Thank you for the advice! I appreciate all that you do for SE members, and, though I don’t often have time to be active on the SE forum, the influence you and the other staff members have had on me over the past few months through the podcast, summit recordings, and emails has been invaluable. Thank you so much!

I believe it would be best punctuation wise to cut the comma, replace it with a period, then make the h in He lowercase. Like this: “I’ve got to go,” he said into the phone. (I bolded the c…[Read more]

Thanks! I’ve never liked/been good at grammar:) It’s going to be the death of me someday! I definitely need grammar help 😂 I usually don’t get upset when I get critiques, so no worries here. I’d rather you say something then keep it to yourself anyway;)

Same here!!
Yay, I’m so glad! Thank you SO much for letting me read it! It was wonderful.

@mischievous-thwapling (🤞I Hope this works)
Hey Everybody!
I wrote this story for my Mother’s birthday. I would LOVE and critiques, criticisms, comments, or snide remarks (I know I messed up the alliteration;) you have. 😁 I have a poem introducing (for lack of a better word) my story, because…well why not! 😆 Anyway, here is the story:…[Read more] -

They are offering some interactive events, mainly zoom meetups I think.

I have some familiarity with that convention (at one point I was tossing the idea around of attending it in-person a year ago or so before everything else in the world happened) but haven’t kept up with it in 2020. Are they just offering sessions or do they also offer agent appointments and other interactive events?
