If you’re in a reading slump due to a book that you keep trying to pick up and force yourself to get through…. Just go ahead and put it down!! It’s sucking all the fun out of reading from you!! The next book you pick up will be better <3 this is your sign!! DNF that hoe!!
"Las partículas elementales", de Michel Houellebecq en la #LíneaB.
You know what's worse than a villian who never had a childhood?
A villian who did. A villian who grew up in a nurtering, loving family. And then something happened. Something that made them who they are.
Hello, lovely people!
Does anyone of you know fantasy books (peferably series) that are similar to the ones of Sarah J. Maas? ✨️
Grateful for any recommendations! Thank you in advance.
Be safe and have a day or night as wonderful as you are!
Lots of Love, Luna. 🌙
Honestly, trying to push a book into advertising before beta readers have properly gone through it can be risky 😭
A lot of authors end up promoting the wrong aspects of the story or missing issues readers notice immediately. Good feedback helps you figure out what people are actually connecting to emotionally before you spend time and money marketing it.That also makes things like ARC campaigns, Booksprout-style promotion, email collection, newsletters, teaser content, and reader retention way more effective because you already know what hooks people.
If anyone needs helpful feedback on their story or wants advice on early book promotion/reader-building stuff, my DMs are open
Quick question for readers of The Witcher books, what’s the best book to start with?
Only asking because apparently the main plot stuff with Geralt and Ciri starts in Blood of Elves, which is listed as book 3 by Amazon and stuff, and I just need to know if it’s best to start with The Last Wish or I can just go straight into the main plot
I'm writing a very heavily politically charged sci-fi book (zombies, to be accurate.) This is about the 4th time I've restarted it. I'm well aware that as I actually have a really good start to it, I'll need beta readers, and I'm white af so I'll absolutely need sensitivity readers, especially for black and Mexican Americans. When I have something more concrete, I'll start searching for them. I want to actually get through the first draft and I'll never finish that if I have to make all the corrections as I go. I already get stuck on every single detail 🙃 in any case, the book is meant to be realistic, and is set in present day, and there will be both true events, and fictional events. I may make up protests to fit characters, and characters in important positions. I'm debating if I should be calling ICE what it is, or make up my own thing, by most importantly, I'm not sure if I should call Tr*mp by name, or come up with a fictional name. On one hand, I want this book to be as much a telling of the horrors, as much as several strong messages. Books tell history, even fiction books, and I'm worried that not using their names or names that remind the reader of who it represents will be lost in the future. We're living through something, we know the memes, and the small things going on as much as the big things, and that might be lost to future generations (meaning they might not be able to tell based on behavior even though we can.) On the other, legal action? We know he's a big whiny baby with a lot of money, and I'm just a disabled homeless queer from New York. So now I ask your opinion, Tumblr. (And if you'd be interested in being a beta/sensitivity reader in the future, please do feel free to pm me. I won't be able to pay you much, but I'd give you a shout-out, and whatever I can afford.)
I encourage you to reblog this.
should I use real names for characters in my politically driven sci-fi book, or make up names that remind you of who that character is based on?
use their real names.
completely fictional. we'll know by their behavior who they represent
completely fictional. it doesn't matter if we know who they represent
make recognizable names (ex: Ronald Crum, Benny Anders)
mash-up and recognizable (ex: Ronald Vance, Joe Harris)
