@epicaddie2, yeah I once read a children’s picture book about the bonsai but never a story narrated by the tree itself. I think it would be pretty cool.
The Ents are my brother’s favourite part of the Lord of the Rings!

(apologies for taking a while to get to this, I got halfway through my reply last night and ten got distracted and forgot about it until this morning. >.<)
@SeekJustice Very good question. (as Elizabeth mentioned) I think that it doesn’t matter the age of your character, what matters most is the realism. I can read books that have 25-year-old male…[Read more]

@EpicAddie2 Welcome!!! I am 13 years old and I play the piano and I love photography and I love to read and write so we have a bunch of things in common! If you like, you can view some of my photography here: http://www.rachel579.wix.com/rlphotography I like doing portraits and events best. What do you like to photograph best? What genre is your novel?…[Read more]

@Northerner Oooh, I have heard a lot about Realm Makers. Will definitely look more into it. 🙂

@Aratrea Thanks! I’ll check it out. 🙂

@SeekJustice Great question! I just recently went through trying to figure this out myself. 🙂
I’m not sure I have a definitive answer, but I can definitely share how my reading experience differs depending on the MC’s age which may help a bit. 🙂

As a reader, the MC’s age is definitely a factor when I’m deciding whether or not I buy the book or…[Read more]

@Northerner I’m obviously not entering the contest, but I really have NO SPARE TIME. Very sorry, but good luck anyway. 😀

Whoops. @EpicAddie2

@EpicAddie Welcome, welcome, and THRICE WELCOME!

Welcome to KP @gh24682468999! I’m sure you’ll find it a blessing.

Hey anonymous tag! Hope your account is up and working soon. 😀 WELCOME. And the bestistest thing was indeed a @Daeus original.

@Shannon Hi, hi, and HI! Welcome to KP. 😀

@Dragon-Snapper yeah, yeah. *rolls eyes*

@kate-flournoy *stops snickering*
*bursts into uncontrollable laughter*
Dragon Snapper will never stop laughing. XD

@SeekJustice hey, everyone does. No biggie. 😛 I will be the first to confess that my name is cumbersome. 😉 In retrospect, I probably should have made my tag just @Kate, but oh well. (@Daeus @Rolena-Hatfield actually is there any way I can change it?)

Great question. You’ve got a lot of good answers here already, but I’ll just add my two cents…[Read more]

@seekjustice I see your problem—I’m also in the same boat. I’m writing a children’s book that has an adult protagonist. According to the 2016 Children’s Writer’s and Illustrator’s Market Guide, it is good to have your protagonist be on the oldest side your readership will allow (they recommend not going above college age for YA).

So if you can…[Read more]

Well, the tagging thing’s not working. Anyhow, I found out about kingdom pen as soon as Daeus did, but he wouldn’t let me join until I became a ‘teenager.’ (We’re not allowed to be teenagers in our house so I say that word with cringement and apostrophes.) Therefore almost as soon as I turned 13, I jumped on here. I am (kind of) writing a…[Read more]

@anonymous 13 and a half. You?

@gh24682468999 –

Welcome to Kingdom Pen!! I think it’s so fascinating that you’re a missionary kid and are attending an international school. How neat! 🙂 I’m glad you’re here!
