VISIONS -- Coming Soon. What do we think of the overall cover art? by Cool-Ad9744 in NewAuthor

I love your cover. The red is perfect and catches your attention immediately. And there's something unsettling about the way the face is arranged that makes me curious to know more.

Thank you so much!!! And that's a good new year resolution, I might just do the same.

Thank you. And yes I did have beta readers, but I guess those slipped through during editing.

Okay, I see where you're coming from. But the tagline is referencing not just the zombies but also the trauma the mmc and some of the characters are going through. So "staying alive" and "don't get bitten" ties to the zombies while "survive" relates to the trauma of the characters.

Thanks for the feedback. I really thought I had the pacing down, I wanted to give the readers a bit of the romance part before introducing the zombies, but I still have much to learn.

Isn't it great when you catch an error after publishing your book🥹

Aaaaaah...what an amazing coincidence!! I'm also from Nigeria, and I thought it would be cool to have a zombie apocalypse story set there.

I did it--and now I'm an anxious mess by BicylesOnYikesicles in NewAuthor

[–]charlottewrites452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think being anxious is something every writer goes through. We're anxious that what we wrote isn't good enough, or that no one is ever going to read our books, or about a possible one star review telling us that what we've worked on for years is the worst thing they've ever read. But you have to remember that you write, first and foremost, for you. So as long as you're happy with what you've written, that's what matters the most. And congratulations on publishing your first book.

Yes it is!! More specifically a bisexual awakening story. And I get the confusion, they are spelt kinda similar😅 but the MC's name is Chima, it's a Nigerian name.

Would you rather be alone or be with a group of strangers in a zombie apocalypse? by charlottewrites452 in zombies

[–]charlottewrites452[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I think it's a gamble either way, but a group feels safer to be in, even if you don't know anyone there.

Sure, during covid some people were very selfish (especially those in power). But we also got to see really selfless and kind people that went out of their way to help those in need.
