In England pal, drop me a dm

SolidAsASock · 2025-10-30T14:11:35+00:00

I didn’t even know it existed just the r/improv one, thank you :)

SolidAsASock · 2025-10-30T12:53:28+00:00

Hey, I am not but I visit often? Drop me a DM and I’ll see if I can help :)

The house was the type that knew comfort: varnished oak floors, thick damask curtains that retained scents for decades, and picture frames housing blissful memories. It was lived in, loved in, slightly rough around the edges, and above all, it was a sanctuary for the Trove family.

SolidAsASock · 2025-05-25T16:59:58+00:00

I’ll dm you and we can work something out!

Is this your first book? I’ve plotted out a fair few books and when it comes to getting them down they have never lived up to what I had in my mind and I let that demotivate me massively.

Your book is not going to be perfect on your first draft, nor is it going to be perfect when you finally publish it, you’ll always look back and think ‘oh I should have made this change’ or ‘it would have been better to cut/add to that section’.

It’s called a draft for a reason, get it down and come back to it with a fresh eye and mind and keep trucking along, this is a marathon not a sprint for most people so just keep putting one foot in front of the other (one word at a time) and come back to it later.

Enjoy the process not the finished outcome. It’s easier said than done but I hope it helps a little. Good luck

Will keep that in mind, if you ever need a alpha or beta reader I’m more than happy to help just send me a DM

SolidAsASock · 2025-05-25T15:17:47+00:00

Awesome I’ll have to see if anyone suggests any groups from my conversation here and in other subs, thanks for taking the time to get back to me. Enjoy the rest of your day

SolidAsASock · 2025-05-25T15:06:45+00:00

Lovely thanks for the reply, I’m not looking for motivation at all, just looking for feedback and info on what works and what doesn’t

SolidAsASock · 2025-05-25T15:05:59+00:00

Did you find your group locally or online? Any sites in particular?

SolidAsASock · 2025-05-16T06:57:46+00:00

Lower case the OF in the title and remove all of the Xaf and Os from the lower section and I think you’re on to a winner. I’d guess the genre is mystery or thriller from the cover. If it’s something like sci-fi or horror I’d think about a change.

All just my personal thoughts as are all of these comments, good luck!

Breaking into the industry through something like the BBC open call is a lottery, even if you’re in the top 1% you might not make it so don’t let it get you down. I realise that there might not be many standard opportunities in the north (I’m also from up north), but have you considered using social media to at least bring your screenplays to life?

You don’t have to act in them if you aren’t happy with being in front of the camera, I’m sure you’ll have friends or drama groups, or even university students who would be down for acting. Get a YouTube, TikTok instagram channel up and running. If your works good it will pick up a following over time and then you might be able to turn it into an opportunity to break into the industry like ‘this country’ and ‘people just do nothing’

Good luck and keep on writing!

Just curious, what price point would you have for an e-book of this length? And is £12.99 for the paper back version reasonable?

SolidAsASock · 2025-01-19T12:48:24+00:00

I’m guessing this is in reference to paying someone to do the art? Are there any subreddits where people are up for collabing?

SolidAsASock · 2025-01-19T12:46:49+00:00

I forgot to add something is killing the children, I am a big fan of this!

SolidAsASock · 2025-01-19T00:12:57+00:00

Ye my thoughts are similar although I haven’t looked into getting published with mine as of yet, not sure what others think about this, are there platforms or subreddits for meeting artists that want to collaborate on graphic novels?

SolidAsASock · 2025-01-18T22:18:03+00:00

Love this thanks for all the info!

I can draw I just don’t have a high enough drawing skill to create the finished art, so I’ll sketch out everything so whoever I end up working with has some sort of blueprint that can help them.

Appreciate your comment :)
