Hi, I just wanted to make a comment about your list of stories. I must admit that there are MANY that appealed to me greatly but I must point out that while your synopsis for all the stories are brilliantly written to pique a readers interest, at the same time you seem to have mistakenly included basically a full account of how the story will play out INCLUDING their endings. Because I suddenly now know which character will do what, who will sacrifice themselves to balance or undo a curse, or what the final outcome of a character doing an investigation, well there just isn’t any point in me reading the full story. I’m not sure if you are aware of this and it has probably lead other readers to not bother reading your story when we have practically read the summarised version in the synopsis. Truly, the synopsises are very well written but you need to STOP once you’ve set the scene for the story with maybe who a character is, where and why they are going to a certain place or what myth/legend is leading them on their travels, then instead of continuing to outline the rest of the story and its conclusion, maybe pose questions like... ‘will _____ be able to solve the riddle in time to save the missing children?’ or ‘can he find the missing clues to determine if the curse is real and the townspeople are in grave danger?’ or ‘what will happen when she finds the source of curse and it demands more than she is prepared to give?’.
Finishing off your synopses with intriguing unanswered questions will help pique readers curiosity and eagerness to read you stories so we can read about who caused the curse, how they will collect clues to solve the mystery, what they find along the way of their investigations and if the MC has the cunning and ability to outsmart supernatural threats, etc. You need to leave some mystery within the synopsis otherwise it’s like reading a ‘Spoiler’ which detracts from the feeling of want or need to read a story to find out what happens (it would be the same if a movie trailer basically outlined the whole story, what will happen during the movie and how everything will end. You would no longer have the urge to watch it, if you know what I mean). I think if you edit your synopses by leaving out vital/main details (like who is sacrificed themselves and will never return home), and how the story will definitely conclude (nobody really wants a spoiler beforehand), you’ll find a lot more of your readers will read your works. Also, I wanted to point out that you don’t seem to put #Tags, or not many on your stories. You should really look at doing this as a lot of prolific readers, like myself, use the SEARCH. So if your stories contain the same words we have searched for, (like, #supernatural mystery, #paranormal, #cursed, #investigation, etc), your stories will get A LOT more exposure to the reading public and because we become more aware of your stories having elements we enjoy reading about, your reader numbers as well as comments and rating will undoubtedly also increase greatly. You truly have a vast amounts of stories with a variety of creatively unique storylines that are bound to appeal to readers as long as we know they are here. Hence the importance of those # Tags for every piece of work you’ve put so much time and effort in writing. I really hope you find my comments and suggestions helpful as just from your synopses, it’s easy to tell you have high levels of writing skill, a natural talent to creativity weave amazing imaginative fiction stories and should definitely have your work more recognised by the reading community and yourself as an accomplished author. Good luck and Happy Writing! Oh, and although, at the moment, your synopses give away the plot of the stories, I’ll still be going back to read some that really did catch my attention.
