@wilder-w So exciting! Here are some of the most important things in my opinion for promoting your book: 1) a website, 2) a newsletter/email list, 3) social media.

Think of your website as your “home base.” This is where you want to direct more traffic to, because there people will learn more about your book/whatever you’re selling, how to buy it…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Something I try to remember when I’m working on side characters is that they are the main character of their own story. Even if they don’t have a POV in the story, they will have their own values, goals, motives, etc. in the story. I love working on their backstory, because it’s usually then that I discover their internal conflict…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Thank you!

@faith-q

He’s on life support right now, but so far nothing has really changed in the past twenty-four hours as far as I know. Thank you so much for your prayer, Faith!

@godlyfantasy12

This sounds cool!

Okay so the three things I really liked about this are #1 the whole circus/murder mystery #2 the fact we’ll be getting into the past of a circus #3 they have high stakes at risk.

The three questions I have would be #1 why are Ara and November, in particular, being targeted #2 what are they doing in the circus…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassain

1st of all, your Forum Topic Into was almost as fun to read as the chapters… I guess that explains why I haven’t heard from Shakespeare lately.

2nd of all.

I’m sorry.

Eh, not for the late replay as much as I am for not reading this sooner. Don’t get me wrong, as much as I’d love to bash a video game-themed…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I used to totally pants my first drafts. Now I find it more helpful to make a plot outline and scene outlines before I get writing, but I still give myself the freedom to deviate from that outline if I feel like it. That’s just me though. 🙂

@trahia-the-minstrel

Ah, don’t be sorry. Waiting makes seeing a new article all that much more exciting, plus I totally get being busy (being bored is literally a luxury for me XD ). But anyway, that’s amazing! I looked at the Author Conservatory’s website tonight actually to learn what it was… and it looks spectacular! I may have t look deeper…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Okay, first of all, I gotta say that I love this. Second of all, I have quite a handful of characters that these questions apply to. Thank you in advance for this topic by the way.

Is there a characters I don’t like, but don’t hate either?
Okay so this might put Shannon Messenger fans on the defensive, but I’m gonna say Fitz Vacke…[Read more]

@trahia-the minstrel

Your site is amazing, Trahia! I loved it and am totally going back, I mean, writing, drawing, and nerd stuff all in one place? That’s home. I signed up for your newsletter straightaway; awesome job:)

@trahia-the-minstrel

I wish I could be of help, but I haven’t heard of the Author Conservatory before.

@e-k-seaver

Awesome blurb! I liked it a lot actually, but sadly I don’t have that kind of platform at the moment to sign up. Though I wish you the best! 😀
