@emma-flournoy Here’s another option.

When your fate overwhelms you, where can you turn?

@warrioroftherealm I think it sounds fine, though it is a tiny bit rough. Fyi, I think the first two sound like high-action novels with warrior monks and lots of gut punching. The third one sounds more like a high fantasy to me. Something a little quieter, but that has really good world building. Like I said before though, the cover will affect…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm One or three. I probably like three better, but I think it largely depends on what cover design you go with.

@CK4Always Yep, that’s how it should be.

@emma-flournoy @kate-flournoy @his-instrument What about this?

When fate seeks to destroy you, where can you turn?

Matthew has sworn to avenge a murder…

@emerald-flyer Makes sense. Wayne Thomas Batson’s Dark Sea Annals are probably my favorite works of Christian fantasy and he’s currently re-releasing them this month, so if you’re looking for new books in the genre, that would be my recommendation. 😉

@perfectfifths Cool; to expand that a bit, putting otherwise-unsympathetic characters in sympathetic relationships can be really crucial for building empathy between the characters and the audience. If a sympathetic character likes an otherwise-unsympathetic person, it’s easier for the audience to like that person as well, which sounds like what…[Read more]

@jessi-rae Neat; how far into the story are you?

@emma-flournoy Sold? Not very many. When it was free though, I got something like 2,000 downloads. I haven’t been promoting it really. That’s why I’m trying to revive this ad thing. I actually have time for it almost. 😉

@perfectfifths Ah; I see. Yeah, I would probably fit it into the positive arc then. Here’s a question to consider that you may find helpful: if you were going to go through and revise Sutcliffe’s book, how would you change the story/the protagonist’s character arc to make the story more enjoyable to you? I find that when I do this with books I…[Read more]

@Emerald-Flyer Welcome to the site! You’ll find a lot of fellow fantasy writers here. 🙂 who are your favorite authors?

@emerald-flyer Cool dragon. 🙂 May I assume you write fantasy?

@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy Got it. I’ll try to come up with something better tomorrow.

@his-instrument I think attracting classical lovers is worth losing non classical lovers.

@his-instrument Thank. Those are great suggestions.

I do, though, need to have that one liner right at the beginning. The idea is that people have a three-second attention span. They won’t read the whole synopsis unless their attention is instantly piqued. Let me see if I can make the wording work.

A story of action, adventure, and justice,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Yes, that’s certainly possible. When I read the new first line along with my old synopsis however, it didn’t seem to flow well. Perhaps that’s just me though. The reason I redid the general synopsis was because I wanted the first line of that paragraph to fit with the first line above it. Things kept changing from there.
