The Green Door. Evie is an introverted Walthamstow illustrator who lived her days among the pages of books and at her desk sketching her next commission. Until one afternoon, on her way home, she detours from her usual route and discovers not just something, but someone who will change everything.

Everytime I read my manuscript I find something new to change. I finally made it through editing chapters 1-15 out of 35 and ended back at chpt 1! When do you finally just leave it be and move forward? #writingcommunity

Ever wake from a dream that returned each time you closed your eyes? I used to write them down, consider writing a book, even wrote a paragraph or two. Then finally decided it was time.. #thegreendoor #debutnovel #writingcommunity

I'm seeing a lot of queries with word counts that don't make sense for the genre/age category. For instance, several "literary fiction" queries in the 20-25k range, or MG that's only 10k words. Be sure to keep word count in mind, especially for your debut! manuscriptacademy.com/word-count-b...

#Writingcommunity snippet from GD: The heat in his fingers scalded as he painted her face with his blood. “Now, I see you for the malady that you are. For the pain you have bestowed is worse than any sickness. I have lost both my brother and my soul, to you, Goddess Death.” #questpit #A #DF #H #Q
Goddess Death, Adult Dark Fantasy set in a Caribbean Taíno inspired world. Sere Anehita stole from the gods and murdered her best friend to save the man she loved. Instead, she cursed them both and became Goddess Death. For a chance at redemption, Sere must escort a warrior, and his sacred relic, through a divine jungle trial and cursed waters—before the deathless pirate king, she created, claims them both.
