    Rated R Magazines

    I'm having a tough time finding a good market for a story. It is action-heavy, a little long with it being over 15,000 words, and style is not unlike The Executioner novels. I think it is a little closer to a rated R rating than the PG-13 many magazines I'm seeing want. I can tone it down by...

    Selling Yourself (and your work) at Conventions

    Can get the book printed through Lulu, if your allowed. If you run out you can refer people to the ebook online through a book mark or card. If you print to many you can sell them at a different event.

    First Draft Posting

    Sorry, this is little more confusing than I thought... Ok, so I need some advise before I do something stupid. I have a patreon account where I'm writing a novel. My original goal was a chapter every other week with one week to write the chapter and one to edit. Part way though I figured a...

    Selling Yourself (and your work) at Conventions

    Just wondering, has anyone tried to sell your book at non-writing conventions, like trying to go to science fiction conventions to sell your science fiction book? Sorry if its a bit off topic.

    "Types" of magic in fantasy

    If I were to try and make list of magic users, and only wanted them to be limited to one type of magic, I would start with looking up magic wielders in RPG style games. I would also start with broad strokes, IE black magic, environmental magic, and white magic. Then go farther black magic...

    Who's doing superheroes?

    I started a series of superhero books called Chronicles of Hazard City. I love creating superheroes that aren't exactly heroes, and villains that just take their actions to far. I'm still researching how the people with powers were created. Luckily I think I wont have to fully explain it for a...

    After SuperHeroes , What Do You Think Will be the Next Big Thing in The Movies?

    Warcraft is doing well it has already made enough money to recoup its budget. Most people I know who have seen the movie, along with myself, have enjoyed it. I would remember superheroes didn't really catch on for several decades before the 1989 batman. Then comics had a number of flops before...

    Reading your manuscript aloud

    I have found that having a computer read aloud really works well for me. I have a learning disability in reading, so to have something that is not me read the story has really helped with grammar, and style errors

    June 2016 75-word Writing Challenge -- VICTORY TO MOSAIX!

    The Warlock's Army A fire crackled in a tent as an old man sat, his legs crossed a staff standing in his lap. He took in a long breath and breathed out a puff of green smoke. The smoke flowed out of the tent and into a large crowd just outside. Their bodies lifted into the air, cracking as...
