Good morning, Katylin! Hope you’ve been having a good week.
I set my story in the fictional town of Pineville, near the foothills of the mountains. I was originally thinking of calling the book Kate’s Journey, but there’s another book with the same title. The books aren’t anything alike, though. I suppose it doesn’t matter that…[Read more]

Oh, New Mexico is so beautiful! Are you setting it in the plains or mountains? Both are so gorgeous! That’s where we went on vacation last year.
You could try just Kate’s Journey, I personally find it slightly cliche when a romance title always includes love in the title, but that’s just me…lol…
Um, Loves Long Journey…or even thinking…[Read more]

Good morning, all! I’m writing a western historical romance, currently on my third revision. My working title is Finding Her True Love, but I’m not sold on it. It’s about a 1870’s Boston socialite, Kate MacGregor, who runs away to escape a forced marriage. She ends up in a small town in the New Mexico Territory, where she faces danger and…[Read more]

Thank you so much, this was super helpful! I hadn’t really ever heard of the genre of ‘spy fiction’. You’re right, I have no point of divergence from real world events because even though this is an obscure part of the real world in my brain, that’s never really presented in the story. I think I’m going to call it a spy fiction…[Read more]

@rusted-knight Even if that historical event has nothing to do with the real world history? The events in this book and the events that trigger a change in leadership in the country are not from the real-world at all. I’m not even taking a real world event like World War II and changing it to see what would have happened if we lost. (which…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien That’s a really hard question =P
First and foremost, spy fiction is a genre. You should look into that.
The rest of your description doesn’t sound like historical fiction to me. HisFic needs to interact with the real world in some way. If the only possible way a reader could tell the story took place in an alternate version…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien
This is what we call “threading the eye of the needle.” I think this is a historical fiction as long as there is a trigger event were history changed. -

Hey guys! *general wave because I don’t know who all is on here*
So I have a WIP that I’m trying to pin down the genre on. It’s called The Apprentice Spy. It takes place in a fictional country that is still in our world, and the setting and time period is… vague? I’m hoping if I give some description that y’all can help me pinpoint what to call…[Read more]
