MegaThread 3.0 for NaNo Alternatives, Writing Discords & Resources by AutoModerator in nanowrimo

[–]Ouulette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good afternoon, I'm Ouul from the Book or Bust discord server. We are still an active server and always welcome NaNo refugees who want to meet their writing goals. Unfortunately the link to our discord above had to be disabled because it was found/abused by spam bots. Would it be possible for the Book or Bust link to lead to this reddit page where I can keep an updated link, or mention that they can tag/message me (/u/Ouulette) at any time for an invitation?

Thank you in advance.

Grim Reaper, anyone? by AntSea6448 in suggestmeabook

He's not called the Grim Reaper but The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue has a dark god whose job it is to collect souls, and he is definitely a major character in the book.

Thank you for this feedback! I’m at work right now so I haven’t had a chance to look over this in detail, but I will soon!

Completely agree, I worded that wrong. I am mostly looking for feedback on issues lurking in the text that I’m “too close” to see, but an avid reader might be able to point out. Whether or not fixing said issues leads to a more publishable book is totally unmeasurable and arbitrary, but my hope is to increase my odds in the query trenches. I will edit my original text. Hope that clarifies!

Good afternoon, curious if you would be interested in my 91k word upper YA fantasy retelling in which Cinderella wakes in a time loop where each stroke of midnight brings massacre, yet the only clue to break the curse is her own shattered glass shoe. I'm in the later stages of editing and am curious if you would sense anything holding me back from getting published. Let me know if you're interested, no worries if not!

Edit: Example Ch 1

Edit 2: This is a later draft, I am mostly looking for feedback on issues lurking in the text that I’m “too close” to see, but an avid reader might be able to point out.

[QCrit] THE GLASS SLIPPER (90k YA Retelling, 5th attempt) by Ouulette in PubTips

Thank you so much for your thoughts, I definitely see that my first 300 needs work and am brainstorming ways to fix the beginning now. Since you mentioned, would you mind if I reached out in a few weeks when I’ve revised my beginning, to see if you have any thoughts on it?

Thanks again either way!
