Trahia the Minstrel started the topic Author Conservatory in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 2 years, 9 months ago
Hi everyone!
I’m considering joining the Author Conservatory, and I was interested to know if any of you are in it? If so, what are you thoughts on the program? Things I should know? Pros and Cons? Is there anything you wished you’d known before you joined, but didn’t?
For me, one of the things I’m struggling with is that I have already written…[Read more]

E. K. Seaver started the topic Free Christian Dystopian Book in the forum Publishing & Platform 2 years, 9 months ago
Okay so that title is a touch clickbait-y but also mostly true. The Reflections is a YA Christian Dystopian releasing April 8th. Advanced Reader Copy signups are available here. I only have 10 copies to send out because of my budget, but if you have 300 or more followers on any social platform, you might be able to get a cop…[Read more]

Daisy Torres started the topic Smoke and Mirrors is now a free serial on my blog!!!! in the forum Publishing & Platform 2 years, 10 months ago
Hey everyone!! Some of you may remember, but a year ago now I started Smoke and Mirrors and asked for a critique. Surprisingly, some of you seemed to really like it (which still blows my mind honestly, but thank you!!) and asked for more. Sadly, I was in the middle of working on The Art of Deception at the time, so I had to put it on the back…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic End of Year Book Party! in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 10 months ago
@kathleenramm Don’t feel bad, I can hardly read anything besides manga now. But for the sake of this discussion I’ll leave manga out of it.
How Many Books Have you Read this Year? List every one you read!

Oh boy. Here we go. This isn’t in order of when I read them, by the way, but these are all the new books I remember reading last year. (It’s already new year for me right now.)

Trahia the Minstrel started the topic Cover Art Sharing Space/Critique in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 11 months ago
Hi Everyone! I’ve been making some rough sketches of my first two book covers, which I thought I’d share and hear whether you thought they looked good or not, and I thought maybe you guys would like to share your covers too, if you have them! It could be fun!
Book 1 and Book 2.
So I’ll go ahead and tag a bunch of people:

Anatra replied to the topic When is it okay to defy the government? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 3 years ago
Mmm, as much as I loved One’s debate (and Harper B]) I’m a sucker for political shows like Two. I ate up the drama, and it has breached my top 10 moves that nearly made my eyes leak. So I’d have to say Two. Tho I seriously need to rewatch them.

Trahia the Minstrel replied to the topic Which story was the quickest to write and which was the slowest? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years ago
Yes! Shadow Throne is my favourite, too, I think! Jaron’s tactics in it are just so good, and the ending was just so satisfying, and there were times where I wasn’t sure how he was gonna get out of those situations, but he did. And I really wanted him to be with Imogen at the end somehow, and he was — although I kinda could…[Read more]

Trahia the Minstrel replied to the topic Which story was the quickest to write and which was the slowest? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years ago
I think my shortest time to write a novel was the first novel I ever wrote, a fan fic which I’m pretty sure took me under a year.
My longest has been my current project The Prince of WalfKlau (working title), in which it took me roughly 2 years to write the first and second book, back to back, another whole year to revise the e…[Read more]

Thanks so much for the tips everyone. They are all helpful. I just realized I forgot to mention anything about the prison or the escape. Might have been helpful…
So my two girl characters Kedja and Zyla are trying to escape a prison that they’ve been brought to to be trained to work for Okdor, my Villain. Kedja, through a very tragic back…[Read more] -

Elanor started the topic How do I make a non-cliche escape scene? in the forum Plotting 3 years ago
So a person escapes the bad guys. This is a characteristic of most every book I’ve read. I’m writing a prison escape in my current WIP and am wondering how to make it something that’s not just the same old thing.
Any tips and or advice would be gladly appreciated.
I’ll tag a bunch of people.

Faith Q. started the topic When is it okay to defy the government? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 3 years ago
Okay, y’all, I’ve got a dilemma on my hands.
To give you a bit of background information, my main character (Emeric Dertok) has recently come back into society after eight years of living the life of a hermit. He’s working for the King (Jornan), who charged him with the task of tracking down spies trying to sabotage the government. But as enters…[Read more]

I just read the Story Peddler by an Enclave author. They let you have it for free if you sign up to their site.😁 I would probably try to get an agent first — and I think I’ve found one that will hopefully work if I can ever get my project up to scratch (and trimmed in word count. The biggest Enclave will take is 140k from a deb…[Read more]

NAOMIIIII YOU’RE HEREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAH HEY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! *waves and jumps up and down* Welcome to the Kingdom! How’re you enjoying it so far?
HIIIII!!!! And yeah, although I have to admit, I’m a bit lost… what exactly are you supposed to do on here?
Oh lol I misread the question XD
Well, first there’s a blog that you can read posts from, but the coolest part is the forum. It’s a way to engage with other teen writers. People will do all kinds of forum posts (we even had a sprinting one going for a while). People will ask writing questions or post about books and stuff. It’s pretty chill. 😉 If you need any help navigating it…[Read more]
Thanks a lot! I think I’ll start with my profile picture 😉
