Chaos Queens

Hello my dears I have a new book tip for you!

What more could young readers ask for than a teen book that is full of pace and emotion - and also has a lot of depth? Valentina Brüning gives them all of this. The author mixes the turbulent emotional world of adolescents with profound questions - above all about the true value of friendship. With Fritzi, Valentina Brüning has created a main character who is likeable from the outset, who makes many a mistake but always acts with her heart in the right place. The author also tackles the subject of "prejudice" very well: on closer inspection, her main character has to throw her previously cherished prejudices against her new classmates overboard.

Chaos Queens is a very good book about friendship.

It's turning into something really cool. I am gonna trust the process and keep working on this story. I was actually struggling to like my own characters in this book, but now... Omg I love them like something. This just reminds me that I am still in the process of learning and finding my own voice and that every day will be a new challenge and I know I am gonna learn do much from it and I am. I often feel like the most stupid author in this world who is horrible and that indeed is true because I am a novice and I feel like I haven't even started learning the A of author and writing life. These feelings of mine are completely valid and so are my struggle with myself and my books because I know the process I'm in right now is called the grinding process where there is always a scar from chisel every day and those scars with bundle together and form a statue. I want to keep believing in myself and the process I am going through and often I feel like I am an idiot and maybe I am not cut for this, but then it's my characters who keep reminding me that it's just the beginning and it's never going to be easy, it never was. They remind me that they are alive cuz I write and I'll keep goin . . •Book: Faking the Mate Bond •Author: AM (me) •Genre: Rebirth, Romance, werewolf, strong female lead with depression [yes you can be depressed and still be strong] •General ideas covered: Retelling of Lilith, patriarchy, love that crosses life and death, FL's way to independence and power. •Tropes: Fake relationship/friends to lovers. #darkacademia Mystery, obsession, attachment, fear of failure/future.

Robin Bradford:

It was so hot. It was so goooood. I didn't know it could be that good. So far I've had sex to express my dislike, with him I've had really good for the first time.

He did something to me, flipped the conscious switch, I guess.

Of course he is.

Faith.

What is Self-Publishing??

Do you want to become a published author? Do you have a manuscript on your desk just begging to be sent in to a publishing house? In this post—part one of a three part series describing the different routes to publishing, we are going to talk about Self-Publishing. What it is—what it’s NOT—and what it costs.

First off, let’s start with what self-publishing is not. Self-publishing is not something you do when you can’t find anyone to traditionally publish your story. If you are having problems finding someone to publish your story, first consider why this is? Is you story ready to be published? Does it need further editing? Input from other authors? Because the self-publishing market it tough—perhaps even tougher than the traditional publishing route. Every falls on the self-publishing author and their often small pockets. Marketing, cover design, copy edits—so if your product is not ready to be published or could see some more revisions, don’t try to rush the process. Take the time to really sit and look at your Manuscript to make sure it is all that it could be.

So if self-publishing is not really a second alternative to traditional publishing, then why do people do it? Easy answer: Money. With traditional publishing, an author will see most of the revenue of their sales going to other places. Often traditional publishers will not even look at a manuscript unless it is submitted by a literary agent. A literary agent works on commission—usually around 15% of the author’s product goes to them. Then there is the publishing house’s cut. Since the publisher is paying the overhead fee of actually publishing the book, the bigger houses often take upwards of 90% of the total book sales. Now this might not be true for all publishing houses—some indie publishing houses have higher percentages going to the author, but often the do not have advances paid to the author upon signing—so basically no money upfront but the potential for money later. I’ll talk more about traditional publisher in a later post, so if you like this blog, be sure to follow me. Also be sure to like and comment about more content you’d like to see.  

So if a self-publishing author is able to take home almost 100% of their sales after publication, why doesn’t everyone go this route? Once again, the answer is money. All of those costs mentioned before that the traditional publishing house was paying for—well that now falls onto the author. So that’s things like cover design, editing, formatting, distribution, marketing—all of those things cost money and now it’s the author footing the entire bill.

So how much does it actually cost to self-publish a book? Unfortunately like most things in life, that depends. Does the author hire a publicity company to promote the book? Do they hire the best illustrator in the business to create the cover for their novel? How long is this stinking book? The more pages, the more it’s going to cost to print the book. Really, a person could pay as little or as much as they wanted on self-publishing a novel. In the end, however, the book may or may not sell.

There are so many options to go with in self-publishing—so many things to spend that hard earned cash on, but what are the most important things to actually fork over the cash on?

First off: Cover. Every heard the phrase: Never judge a book by it’s cover? Well, in the real world, that is the FIRST thing every reader does. If you can’t get your reader to pick up that first copy, then it doesn’t matter how fantastic the inside is. So don’t skimp on that cover. That being said—don’t always go for the most expensive either. Even if you get a world-renowned cover artist, that generally won’t matter to your readers unless they’re looking at the acknowledgement pages of all their favorite books. Instead, go for good quality rather than high price tags.

Another thing you don’t need to skimp on is the editing fees. The last thing you want your readers to find is a typo on the first page! Some reader will literally chuck the book across the room. There is nothing more unprofessional than this. And don’t think this is something you can do yourself. There would be nothing worse than to spend hours formatting your book so the pages line up perfectly on Microsoft Word to then find them helter-skelter in the margins of your book. You’re an author—a creator of worlds and lives. Let someone who’s a professional in margins handle the other part.

So those are the two major things to spend your money on when self-publishing. I hope this has helped—wait, what? What about advertising you say?

While it is true you can spend money on advertisements, I would not recommend putting all of your money in this. Think about how you view ads. Do you scroll past them or hit skip? If you have that intriguing copy, that’s great, but most of the best marketing tactics can be completed for free. And that’s through social media. Having a pinterest, a Twitter, a blog, these are things you can do for free. Now one marketing thing you can do—and I hope that you will do this—is get an actual website and a newsletter up. Keep in mind that any website or blog on another site like Tumblr or Reddit is not yours. It is owned by another company and you can be dumped at any time. So it’s important to have your own website and newsletter to keep in touch with your fans.

Next week, I’m going to be posting an article about Traditional Publishing then a subsequent post about Vanity Publishing—both of which are routes that I have personal experience in.

Good Book Writing Tips

1. Stay inspired from everyone and everything

2. incorperate reality and experiences to your writing.

3. Incorporate the endless possibilities of reality or another work even to your book. (Fanfiction)

4. talk to other writers and read other stories

5. Description and POV accuracy

7. Plot development. Exposition (intro), conflict,  ending.

8.  Develop characters

What they say, do, look like, interact,  background, etc.

9. Dialogue

Emotions should be added in dialogue without having to be directly stated. Avoid things like she said, explained, etc. Dialogue of each character should be unique enough for the audience to be able to tell who is talking.

10. Incorporate setting into story

Time period, environment, climate, population, etc can be involved in story

11. Develop your own unique way

People should be able to read your story and find no other story worded or depicted like yours. The authors sound.

THINGS TO AVOID

1. INFO DUMP

2. AVOID TRICK ENDING SUCH AS IT BEING A DREAM

3. KEEP WORDING SIMPLE

4. DIALOUGE FOR CHARACTER INSIGHT, NARRATION FOR STORY INSIGHT NOTHING ELSE.

"Der Reisende ("o viajante”, em tradução livre), um romance de 1938 escrito por Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz, conta a história do empresário Otto Silbermann, que foge de Berlim logo após a Noite dos Cristais, evento de perseguição aos judeus que marcou o início do Holocausto. Muitos de seus amigos judeus haviam sido levados pelos nazistas. E Silbermann decidiu pegar uma série de trens através da Alemanha, na tentativa, sem sucesso, de deixar o país. O autor do romance, cujo pai era judeu e a mãe protestante, na verdade fugiu da Alemanha nazista em 1935. Foi primeiro para a Suécia, depois para a Noruega e, em seguida, para a Inglaterra. Isso foi logo após a promulgação das leis antissemitas e racistas de Nurembergue, em 15 de setembro de 1935. O pai de Boschwitz havia morrido durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, e sua irmã, emigrado para os territórios palestinos em 1933.  Boschwitz escreveu o romance no exílio. Publicado pela primeira vez no Reino Unido em 1939 sob o título The Man Who Took Trains (o homem que pegava trens), o livro não teve muito impacto na época e saiu de circulação. Ulrich Boschwitz morreu em 1942, aos 27 anos, quando o navio em que viajava foi torpedeado por um submarino alemão no Atlântico Norte. Mas quando a primeira edição em língua alemã saiu, em 2018, foi aclamada como uma descoberta literária." P.S. Hoje é considerado o dia internacional em memória às vítimas do holocausto... #bookslovers #booktips #história #romances #drama #miaconnolly https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7R-gUuQTa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

**-Las piedras del perdón-** **Die Vergebung Steine- ** **The Stones of forgiveness**

¿Qué harías si recibierás una piedra del perdón ?Después del primer libro que les recomende “ Mi lista de deseos” descubrí otro libro de la autora Lori Nelson Spielman y decidí incluirlo a mi lista, pues me gustan mucho los libros con mensajes que nos ayudan a reflexiomar y esté libro no deja de ser la excepción.“Dulce Perdón” nos incita a reflexionar en nuestras acciones, a analizar nuestras relaciones y sentimientos más incomodos  y nos invita a hacer las pases con nuestro pasado, a cerrar círculos, a darnos segundas oportunidades. Nos hace entender que somos humanos, que todos nos equivocamos, pero lo más importante nos demuestra que el perdón no es más que una carga de la cual nosotros mismos debemos de liberarnos.Las piedras del perdón simbolizan nuestros sentimientos de los que vivimos presos muchas de las veces por mucho tiempo.  ¿Te has puesto ha pensar a cuántas personas pudiste haber lastimado o de las cuales tú mismo te sentiste lastimado.? ¿Si tuvieras que hacer una lista de personas con las cuáles deberías de disculparte, quíen estaría en está lista ? y si fuesé al revés y recibieras una piedra del perdón con una disculpa, ¿qué harías?, ¿la tomarías?.Cuentáme.....
