Hey everyone!!!!! I’m Issabelle!! I’m SUPER HAPPY to be joining the Kingdom!! I know I’m gonna LOVE it here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, a bit about me! I’m a teen writer (obviously). I mainly wanna write in the YA fantasy genre! My current WIP is a contemporary retelling of Aladdin which I have already completed my first couple of drafts and am looking into submitting to literary agents. My favorite fiction author is Jennifer A. Nielsen! I’m a blogger and a Christian! I’m also a self-proclaimed exclamation mark enthusiast and am known to randomly burst into song just about anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, that’s a little bit about me!!!! Can’t wait to meet all of you!!!!
Keep Writing!

TeenWritersNook.comWelcome to KP, @issawriter17 ! 😀 Great to meet you! Glad to see another speculative fiction writer. AND a blogger? Awesome! I’m sure if you drop the link to your blog we’d all like to check it out. 😉

www.jennaterese.com@issawriter7 Ay welcome to the Kingdom! I sure hope you will love it here! You like exclamation points? Well I overuse ellipses! Yay!
Kay, kay. Jokes aside. Some question for you now…
-What are some of your favorite books?
-Some of your favorite movies?
-What role would you play in a superhero movie?
Aight, that’s it for now. See you around!
Lately, it's been on my brain
Would you mind letting me know
If hours don't turn into daysHey Issabelle!! (I love how you spell your name, btw) I’m Ella, and I also love to use exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂 KP is the BEST–I know you’ll love it!!
Do you write in any other genres beside fantasy? (Just wondering–I write mainly in fantasy, too. I also write thriller/suspense and futuristic/speculative)
My WIP is a fantasy about a girl named Seia who is forced to live in hiding because of her shady past and how others will react to it if they found out. Her only comfort is her sister, Sadana, who is her best friend. But suddenly, Sadana is forced to marry the prince of (a-distant-country-for-which-i-have-no-name 😋) and Seia is left alone. The prince’s reputation is horrible, but refusing him means death for Sadana. So Seia sneaks out of hiding in the night to recover her sister and escape together to who knows where, etc. etc. 😊
Would you mind giving more details (or even a blurb) of your book? I love retellings + Alladin! 😍
Aaaanyways, GREAT to meet you!! Feel free to join whatever conversation on whatever topic you want–we’d all love to get to know you better!!!

TeenWritersNook.com@nova21 Hello, Ella’s a BEAUTIFUL name!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aw, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! I’d definitely say I don’t think anyone else spells it like me. Exclamation marks are THE BEST! *pumps fist in the air* Thanks!!!
Oh, yeah. Fantasy’s just my main focus. I actually started out in spy fiction and suspense. I write a little bit in a lot of different genres. COOL!!!!! I really like those genres!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! That plot idea just sounds GENIUS!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I wish you the best of luck with your writing!!! I’d TOTALLY read this book!!!!!!
TOTALLY!!!!!!! The novel’s called Into the Lamp. My one-sentence selling line is “When you go into the lamp, you never know what you may find.” I’m not good at summarizing, so here’s basically my whole synopsis:
Sixteen-year-old Colin Carlson just wanted a normal life. He was preparing for college in a couple years, a chance to finally do something more important than working at his aunt and uncle’s restaurant. But all his plans are shattered the day a strange dude showed up and made him go on this crazy hunt to find a lamp. A lamp that supposedly held a powerful genie inside. Yeah, right.
Except it did, and now Colin’s stuck with a genie. A teenage girl genie, who says he gets three wishes. He’s ready for his first wish, which happens to involve the richest man in town’s daughter. Colin’s had a crush on her for years now, and with this genie, he may finally have a chance to impress her. But someone is after him, seeking the genie’s power for some mysterious desire that he wants no part of. As everything unravels apart, Colin is drawn into a fight to save his genie and her world. But how is he supposed to save the day when he’s so clumsy, awkward, and, in other words, not hero material? He is caught in the middle of a war between two worlds, but he may not yet be ready for the challenges ahead.
I don’t know if that’s any good, but there you go!! YES!! Great to meet you also!!!!!!! Aw THANK YOU!!!! TOTALLY will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Also, sorry for the long reply.)

-gladiator, 2000Hi, @issawriter7!
I am @ScoutFinch180.
Your books sounds so cool! I have never dabbled in spy-fiction, do you enjoy reading it? I personally also write speculative fiction and am working on a sci-fi short story.
How long do you want your novel to be?
We crazy people are the normal ones.
@issawriter17
HI GURL!! I can already tell just from ur posts that ur gonna be an AWESOME NEW MEMBER!!
ALL CAPS GIRLS UNITE!!! 😂😂
I can also be very excitable, and FANTASY IS MY JAM! Ur plot….it sounds soooooo cool. I’m not a huge Aladdin fan but I WOULD TOTALLY read that!!
Im currently working on a 7 book fantasy series, and I’m not sure if I’m more in the YA genre or the Teen/preteen genre lol. Somewhere around there.
Im drafting the first book now. What process are u in on ur WIP? Drafting, outlining, editing, etc.
So glad to have another fellow fantasy writer in the group!! I dabbled a lot in fairytale retellings before now coming to my own original series, so if you’d ever like any help or tips I’d love to help!!
Especially when it comes to Easter eggs from the original stories (those are super cool) and yesh I love the whole Genie is a girl and it’s a young guy who finds her lol!
Out of curiosity, does ur Genie have a name yet? I’d love to hear it if so! (If u don’t mind sharing)

I shared my synopsis on another chat forum, but guess I can share it here too!
(And November is a boy XD)
Life in (World Name’s) Garden has always been wonderful, but the rest of the world can’t say the same. Continuing to rebel against the one who created them, the rest of the world has plummeted into darkness. Still, those with open hearts remain, including one special handmaiden by the name of Arabella.
Prophesied to bring peace for a time and leave the only home she’s ever known with nothing but the clothes on her back and her best friend, November, Ara struggles with anxiety and doubt. Bitten by a possessed snake as a child, the chosen handmaiden’s journey is rocky even before she sets off and this fuels her lack of confidence.
When the time to leave arises, Arabella and her friend November are plunged into a wacky, odd and frightening land. Unable to leave, the two are caught between a wicked plot that’s been years in the making, and a foe no one was prepared to face. Death strikes, putting a young girl by the name of Jocelyn at risk. Framed for a crime she didn’t commit and being Ara and November’s only true friend in this crazy land, the two are tasked with proving her innocence.
Everyone is a suspect in this race against time and, should Arabella not face her own self-doubt and rise to the challenge, she and her friends might be the next victims.
