Thanks, @taylorclogston

I have actually found a way that this villain works. PTSD can do so many things to a person. One of my villains has been abused in their backstory. He hides his pain by constantly shunning others and being mean to them because 1: He doesn’t want them to be friends with him, he has low self esteem and doesn’t consider…[Read more]

@hobbitchild, the link below is a list of websites that promote books (either free or reduced price) for free. Since they are free services, there’s no guarantee that your book will be chosen for promotion, but it can’t hurt to throw it out there. https://freebookpromotions.com/free-promotion-sites/

Oh man. How to summarize? (However I do it, it’s gonna sound terrible )

Here goes:

The country is under a tyrannical government’s rule–one that uses the “survival of the fittest” concept to cull the population so the future generations are strong, tough, and capable. They create a border between the slums and the rich, hi…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Good tips, particularly that one on trying to recognize and support the author’s own vision for the work, not your own. It’s an important distinction to make, and one that sometimes requires beta readers/critique partners to walk a narrow line in what they say and how they say it to avoid overstepping their bounds in this regard.

@taylorclogston

Good job! I’d definitely like your critique on my stuff when I’m finished with my first draft.

@taylorclogston I’ve heard so much good about Redwall! 😃 As a write of middle-grade fiction and lover of children’s books, I’ve been wanting to read them for some time.

@taylorclogston

Thank you sir.

@taylorclogston That’s the best kind of writing group to have. 🙂 And working with others is great for growing our writing abilities.

@josiah @taylorclogston and @daeus-lamb

I’m so sorry for the late reply. I wrote a response that didn’t post, then have had an incredibly busy few weeks, and didn’t think to check to make sure it posted. ): But I do very much so appreciate that you have taken the time to help me out and give me advice.

To keep you updated, since I last posted,…[Read more]
Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Publishing questions in the forum Publishing and Marketing Nerds 6 years, 3 months ago

@rebekah-elizabeth I agree with a lot of @taylorclogston‘s feedback. Not sure if you’re looking at traditional publishing or re-trying self-publishing right now, but if the latter, I’d definitely invest in a professional cover (as it sounds like you’re already considering) and also work on building your personal platform so you’re able to reach a…[Read more]

@taylorclogston

Before I get into some of the explaining parts, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to help me out. You are literally the first person who has given me constructive criticism on my writing, adressing problems and such, and I was getting tired of people giving me the fluffy-bunny thoughts of my book. And you don’t come across…[Read more]

@taylorclogston

Thank you for reading it and for your suggestions. You brought up some good points that I will definitely consider. As for the ending, I personally prefer when stories have some sort of closure rather than ending abruptly. I can see what you mean about the angel part not being necessary. I don’t think I’ll take it out completely,…[Read more]
