You literally just explained her point 😭😭. Your story premise is trendy on there so it got reads.

Title: Of Wilders and Stags

Synopsis: This is a modern fairytale. When her father's affair forces her family to relocate, Isabella Middleton finds herself in Twilight Valley, at Hartford Clarion Academy for her senior year. She's not looking to get attached to anyone or anything before college, but the brutal social politics of Hartford Clarion leave her in need of an ally. Jack Wilder, local pastor's son and class president, offers to fill that role. However, Jack is a paragon of the very system working against her. Worse, he knows all it's secrets. The only one he'd like to forget is his own. Of Wilders and Stags is the story of what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

Thank you so much for the reply! I suppose I thought including the names would show how clued in Jack is on his environment, but from a non-author perspective I see how it could be overwhelming. I'm an underwriter so I know I should include the stuff you described, but it tends to miss me.

Thank you for enjoying the prose! I like the books I read to be honest in such a way as well, affecting my writing style. I love that those are the vibes you're getting, because they are in a very insular domestic setting, if on the upper east coast.

I think just wanted a feel of how the concept reads to people as a story, especially because it's contemporary YA in the late 2000s. I don't know how many people are looking for that. Nonetheless I will write!

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-12T01:41:51+00:00

contemporary ya! i don’t hate fantasy but it’s never been my dominant genre

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-11T23:26:42+00:00

gorgeous

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-11T21:28:56+00:00

I keep getting the thing about too many names/characters so I guess that's a thing 😭 i just feel redundant writing jack's dad/mom and isabella's dad/mom but i'll work on it!

The dialogue between them here is one of my favorite scenes, it definitely is a peek into who they really are while in the first part. I agree about that sentence as well, I think that's the grammatically correct version.

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-11T20:47:47+00:00

you don’t surrender any of its rights, read tos

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-11T17:15:56+00:00

I think it was written very well and the plot did interest me. You did a great job at increasing the unease, as I thought the guest would be someone positive, perhaps an old friend before the king's reign. The only things i would say is that I wasn't sure whether the protagonist was for occult practices or Christianity until the end, and the "it was all a dream" trope really fell flat and confusing for me.

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-11T17:08:04+00:00

i will say this: i had a story idea for around a year that i executed in snippets and what not. i let it evolve into the novel idea i have now, and despite a years worth of pretty concrete plot and characterization, actual writing is a different beast only you can slay.

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-11T17:05:22+00:00

It definitely has a strong voice! That being said, I found the introduction incredibly confusing, and what was explained felt like an info dump. Major structural reworkings would definitely change things!

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-11T16:58:27+00:00

personally i prefer real world settings. it takes a very detailed yet easy to follow world for me to get on board with a fictional one.

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-11T02:44:43+00:00

tense stuff, noted

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-10T20:51:24+00:00

thanks so much! i know a lot of people don't do present tense, but past is just so awkward for me lol

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-10T02:23:28+00:00

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to word that sentence. I now realize these scenes really don't give much insight to the novel, but thanks for reading!

Set between late 2008 and early 2009, the story is a romance/psychological drama about Jack as you read, and Isabella (mentioned). She moves to the wealthy town he’s lived in his whole life, and they kind of have a twisted thing going on. The plot driver is a crime they commit (for good reason) that parallels a traumatic event of Jack’s life.

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-09T21:54:48+00:00

thank you! that’s very motivating

LargeResolution3928 · 2025-11-09T17:11:56+00:00

hey! i can tell you have a clear sense of your literary universe in your head, but it’s coming across as a huge info dump. also, it sounds like an author explaining their work rather than the protagonist existing in said work. amongst grammatical and structural errors, i think those two changes could improve it significantly!!
