Consistency > perfection. It’s better to post simply and often than to wait for the perfect post that never comes.

Ask questions in your posts. “What makes you keep reading a book?” or “Do you prefer fast or slow beginnings?” It invites conversation.

One of my alpha readers reports having to put the first draft of my WIP down and take a break due to blushing so hard.

I think I may be doing this right!

Im looking for alpha readers.

I’m excited to say that things are moving along smoothly with my next novel and I’m nearly done with the initial self edits 😊 so it’s time to see who wants to be the among the first to read this new dark and bloody book.

#alphareader #firsttoread #horrorbook

This is how #VirtualLustCity feels.

POV: Last man alive. Women battle for every drop. Choosing one means missing the next… Resistance? Impossible.

The ultimate power fantasy.. Until they claim you.

I love writing and reading #Fantasy books! I'm also getting into #Romance (and other genres 👀), so if anyone has any drafts they need me to alpha or beta read for them, send them my way through my ko-fi linked above ☝️ and in my bio!

They will leave inspiring comments all across your docs. Screenshot 1: People are dying Kim Screenshot 2: my mans is ripped Screenshot 3: The audacity here, but I get it Screenshot 4: Raw. Next question.

Despite how bad the early drafts are, they'll compliment your strengths, and point out what they like. Screenshot 1: I love the way you described sunset here Screenshot 2: this paragraph def encapsulates Pearl's personality/her desire for more, to explore. Love it. Screenshot 3: The inciting incident hooked me, so I read without commenting. I actually loved this chapter, the action part was amazing, fast paced and detailed at the same time. Screenshot 4: this sentence is gold too. I like how it shows how incongruent the MCs and their worlds are to each other

No early drafts are perfect. Your alpha readers will help you spot issues/errors and leave suggestions. Screenshot 1: The three dialogues here also start with a "Well" Screenshot 2: usually this phrase is used in reference to two people or two living things catching eyes; i don't know if it's normal to use in your experience, but i think "eyeing every familiar item" could be a good alternative or "locking her eyes on every familiar"? Screenshot 3: This line feels like you’re talking to the reader, kinda soft breaking the 4th wall Screenshot 4: reads a bit truncated. "she didn't know for how long she swam" or how much time had passed> or however

You'll often have very insightful discussions. screenshot 1: Alpha - i think what this means is that her "darkness" under her beauty makes others fearful and terrified to speak to or in front of her. but it's not as clear/a bit confusing, and silence is repeated a lot in this section. Me- I just discovered how to react to comment btw screenshot 2: Alpha - Idk Alexadre, that's a bit ugly of you but I'll accept it Me - Damn bro, how did you already zip so quickly to this chapter? Alpha - it got juicy so I was binge reading and now distractions around me screenshot 3: Alpha - Long days guarding the village from danger exhausted her sister, but it gave her a reason to use any possible moment to do what she loved the most—sleeping. 🤔 an idea Me - oooo I like that We are like one brain cell each but together we become two

This is why I think everyone should get an alpha reader #writingcommunity #amwriting #writesky #alphareader

I just finished making the changes my #AlphaReader found in my #DebutNovel manuscript, and I just sent out copies to my #ARC readers. I feel like a mama bird who just kicked a baby bird out of the nest. I hope it can fly on its own!

Now that my #AlphaReader is going through the first draft of my debut novel, I am feeling nervous & very vulnerable. What if she hates it? What if she likes it?

Is this the way it always feels when others read your writing?
