We were told books about war wouldn't sell in this economy. "Readers want to escape from the real world." Yeah... We know. The Writer's Orange Quill has a unique way of story-telling that brings readers to our world while mixing in a bit of the real world. We want to make people feel again. And also, enjoy one hell of a story.
Now, we are at Step Two. Beta Reader: The Trilogy. We are looking for any loverly persons who has time to judge us. (・ˍ・) Right... Well, that's how this industry works. Unknown wannabe best-selling international author hopeful just asking for the world. It's a process. Still loving it.
What if my first chapter is the "Grab them by the first sentence?" I never understood that say. Grab the reader's attention by the first sentence... Writers should write what they want and use guidelines occasionally. We don't want the same stories so why promote the same format? This isn't a Lifetime movie. (Hope I don't get a strike for name dropping.) But like I was typing, we don't want the same stories. I believe there are some unconventional stories out there that are ignored because it's different. Well, we do different here at Orange Quill. We have genres, not just one. And we have Black lead characters that are not disposable. I think a good opening should be the new norm. Read the first two pages and see what's up. We need to promote reading and finding out for ourselves. Read the back, the jacket flap and a page or two. Then decide if you want to DNR. Unless you're a madman like Dirk. He doesn't put the book down even if he doesn't like it. "I gotta see it through to the end." Weirdo...
Traditional publishing, self-publishing, eBook, Ao3, etc. There are many ways to get our work out there nowadays but we can't always be certain everyone will like our book. Or even understand it or want to understand.
We have a brand new website! This will be the start of our original works put on display for the whole internet to see... Forever... Because everything on the internet is ... forever. That's terrifying. We are still moving forward. So! Expect new videos to drop, images being replaced and weekly (Hopefully) updates on our blog. This spot will be where we intertwine what's going on with us and... what's going on in the world.
