the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Janelle Hovde’s Raven’s Heir—a novella in the Five Poisoned Apples collection. There are spiritual powers, but no magic, and it’s a medieval kind of world. I’m sure I know more though, so I’ll keep thinking.

How and What to Read as Writers:
Okay so, we’re all writers, right? We weave words and spin tales and generally have a good go at reality. For most of us though, our love for stories started on the other side of the experience — as readers. Now that we’re writing, it’s sometimes…[Read more]

@Knaplingers, happy Easter week!
Have you guys read any stories that remind you of Easter? The endings of The Warden and the Wolf King and Ember Rising (and the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, obviously) come to mind for me. Have you written any stories that remind you of Easter? Of course in a way every good story reminds us of the…[Read more]

Maddie Morrow replied to the topic How to organize alpha and beta readers in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years, 2 months ago
excellent points!
Regarding your question about minute details, I think if the writer specifically asks you to point it all out, then go ahead and point out every little detail, but only if you’re sure to counter it with lots of good things and praise. Even writers who want all the bad payed out can feel discouraged if the o…[Read more]
