Hi Kris thanks for the info on Lucky Bat books, I was wondering,they have a self-publishing imprint but they also allow us to submit and publish through them like other traditional publishers, which would you recommend? Thanks again.
I have been reading your free stories for about a month and I must say you are a fantastic writer. I hope one day to be able to write as good, as gripping and as interesting stories as you have.
Thank you for all the times I have lost myself in your stories.
That’s entirely up to you, Harb. That’s the nice thing about this new world. You can choose your own path. Good luck with it.
Thank you for letting me know, Juanita. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the stories!
Thank you, I was wondering what’s your take on fan fiction? Do you think it’s a good way to develop a writer’s skill and build an audience that you can offer your own original works later on?
Practice on your own stuff, Harb. Writers need to learn setting & character, and they can’t learn that from fan fic. Not to mention all the copyright problems involved with fan fic and the possibility of setting yourself up for huge trouble legally (and financially) if you’re writing in a non-approved-for-fan-fic universe.
I hadn’t thought of that. I read about that girl from Chile who wrote a Harry Potter fan fic and got a publishing contract as a result of it. So I though it was a viable way to get noticed and separate oneself from other writers. Thanks again.
