Hi everyone! I'm currently writing a kidlit book and I would love to have a few beta readers!
This is meant to be a chapter book for young readers (so about ages 7-12, probably leaning more on the younger side of this range), inspired by Daisy Meadows and Gwyneth Rees' Rainbow Fairy and Fairy Dust series respectively.
I would be happy to get some feedback and critique on this piece, especially since this is the first kidlit book I've written! You'll be reading off a google doc for this, and I'll make sure you have the ability to leave comments on the piece as well so you can leave your feedback there.
Title: Sadie And The Search For The Missing Necklace (working title, subject to change for the final product later on)
Genre: Kidlit/Fantasy
Word count: 7528
Short synopsis: After losing her grandma's necklace, Sadie must work together with a fairy named Pearl in order to find it. But can Sadie learn to trust Pearl as they continue working together, or will her doubts about others keep them from finding the necklace at all?
Desired feedback: Overall impressions, impressions about plot and characters, worldbuilding, and any other questions you might have.
Deadline: No later than Jan. 20th, 2023!
Please IM me if you're interested and/or want more details! Thank you in advance for your interest and happy reading!
Tsuki and Luca chat in the bedroom about the prospect of an adventure. Patrons can access WIP previews for as little as $3/mo. Other perks include cameo appearances, free ebooks, and all of Moonlight Blade Book 1 at launch.

No Ordinary Troll
One day a very large & very strange green egg rolled, right smack, into the middle of the pixie village.…

Hi there, fellow readers and writers! I’m Claris (she/her).
I write a wide variety of works including poetry and fiction. I also post book reviews biweekly and fanfics weekly, though expect more of my focus to be on original works this year!
Click here to check out my website! Or, if you want to read a fuller-length version of what I’m up to for this month, click here to read my official April 2023 writing update post!
See this Carrd to find links to my website, other social media, and fanfiction!
Fiction:
I published the first book in my murder mystery series, “Winner Takes All: A Harlow Mystery” in June 2022, and you can click here for more details about it! Please feel free to support me by buying a copy, spreading the word about it, or even requesting your library to get it in their e-catalogue. I appreciate all the support in my writing journey.
Also, I’m participating in this month’s Camp NaNoWriMo event!
I have no specific project I’m working on for this time around, as I want to use it to just write as much as possible. The goal is 25,000 words written overall!

Currently Pitching/Querying:
“Sadie’s Search For The Missing Necklace:” A kidlit fantasy book inspired by Gwyneth Rees’ Fairy Dust series and Daisy Meadows’ Rainbow Fairy series. As of this writing, I just pitched this book to a traditional publisher and (hopefully) they’ll let me know by late April/early May latest if they said yes to it or not! Wish me luck!
Current WIPS:
A fantasy novel inspired by the video game series King’s Quest. I am currently still writing its first draft and I’ve spoken a bit on this blog about how it’s going so far. I just finished writing the first draft in mid-February, so this WIP is on a break for now while I work on...
"An Engagement To Die For:” The sequel to “Winner Takes All,” the murder mystery that I self-published last year (June 2022)! I am still currently editing this novel but I hope I can have them completely finalized by the end of April!
I also have other novels I’m writing during this time, butttt I won’t tell you what they are yet because they’re very early in the writing process. XD
Fanfiction:
You most likely know of my writing fanfiction for The Last Story, Bravely Default/Second, and Escape The Night.
I’m currently posting chapters for a The Last Story/Super Smash Bros. crossover fanfic called “Super Smash Bros: The Next Story!” You can read it on either Fanfiction.net or Archive Of Our Own! New chapters come weekly!
I also have been posting occasional oneshots as well.
Check out the posting schedule on my site (or on my Tumblr blog) for what you can expect to see from me!
What I usually post here on Tumblr:
Links to my posted book reviews, and other important news from my official website
Links to any new fanfics or fanfic updates
Musings of a writer
Funny writer-related memes
Writing advice that I think can be helpful
Positivity!
Commentary on video games, fiction novels, and other fandom-related material that I usually don’t share on Twitter/Facebook/my official site.

Heyo, hello, monstrouswrites aka Alex here! I decided I need a proper intro, so let’s begin shall we?
1. She/her pronouns are just fine.
2. I’m 20, a junior in college with a Philosophy major & Anthropology minor.
3. I work, yes, but I’m getting better about time management (I hope)
What can you expect from this blog?
Moodboards/aesthetics & quotes from my wips! I like to interact with other writeblrs, so expect that. I draw sometimes too.
What do you reblog?
Other writers, from advice to their excerpts I enjoy, to quotes & aesthetic pictures! I really enjoy tag games so I’ll reblog those & participate, as well as @ anyone who I think it would be fun to! Feel free to @ me for your wip or a tag game, or anything <3
Assassination is legal. It's also a viable tactic to gain power, and many use it for personal gain. But there's talk of rebellion, of halfbreeds daring to enter into the bloodsport themselves. With a new Empress and a Prohibition on magic, they might just stand a chance - or bring the Citadel to ruin in the attempt.
Deadline: None, currently in semi-final planning stages.
Hello. I am a fresh face in the author world so I figured I’d introduce myself, well, ourselves.
My name is Steven and I am a #kidlit writer of middle-grade and young adult fantasy and science fiction. I have three major projects, one of which is published and the other two I still have in development.
This is the crew. You have my author avatar, Ryth, the owner of the Silver Claw Inn, the name of my website where I showcase my WIPs and review short stories, novels, and sometimes movie and media reviews and discussions.
The green bunny next to me is Tsuki, my companion and de facto mascot of the Silver Claw Inn. She can draw power from the moon and use them for attacks. She also comes from, Narlight, a mysterious worlds that exist inside my Inn, one of many. I’ve never been there myself, but we’re trying to find her home so she can reunite with her family.
And this guy here is Hocus, our unofficial adversary, I guess. He’s not evil, just a pain in the neck. He can grant wishes, but only if you catch him, so you can imagine the idea of catching a magical flying cat that can teleport and grant wishes. He kinda lives with us now, but only because he demanded it.
I hope to make new friends here. Thank you, and remember, the Inn is always open.
