Writing & Editing

Hello everyone! Looking for an exciting paranormal thriller to check out? Why not give my new book a try? If you enjoy it or have anything you wish to comment on please remember to leave a review. Thanks in advance.

Chiminal Hill was supposed to be an easy change for Damien, but all Hell breaks loose the moment he and his father reach the outskirts of town. A spiral of lies appears in every corner. The smell of death lingers in the air. Figures cloaked in raiment's from the Bubonic ... See More Plague walk the street. Somehow all of it is related to Damien, but he has no idea why

Would anyone be able to lend me a hand with editing at all?
I have a few short novellas I wish to edit my lack of grammar needs work.
I'm looking for anyone with more experience when it comes to editing to lend a hand? I currently use google doc for all my writing I have 6 novellas that need a clean up (One Novel in a work in progress) and plenty of short stories but they can be left for now. I'm more concerned about my Novella as of now.
Hope anyone can lend a hand?

Is there abyway I can find an editor for my to be published book? I’m from Wattpad so this app is hella different.

Gingariffico I'm hoping to find the same. I'm from Wattpad but I've had more success here in three days than two months over there. I need an outsider's editing. I'm not a pro, but I'm willing to help if you don't find someone more qualified. :)

Abbey Holder @Gingariffico thank you so much! I’ll take that into consideration

Is anyone else using magic or spells in their books? I had always had it planned in my head to use various different languages for my spells, but now I am wondering if it is better to stick with one language?

ICanRewriteTheStars I guess it depends on you? I mean, 'magic' is different for different cultures around the world. I suppose it depends on what culture your magic is based off of. Cultures develop in a certain way and forcing cultures to muddle together takes realism ... See More away from their sources. I mingled several European cultures to come out with a fictional country called Anagoria (at the moment, will be changed). I mixed cultures that would naturally be drawn to the topography and geography of the country, mostly because it would feel like home.

Nicholas Delkeskamp I always find Latin cool since it's super old and basically the root of a lot of languages. I had to study it in high school and I think it's kinda smart way to use that. Or you could develop your own language for the spells since it's magic :)

Alright - I got a problem.
My own worst enemy has struck again and it seems my brain doesn't want to be creative. I need to toss some ideas back and forth about stories.

Razor D Belphe What kind of stories do you write?

ICanRewriteTheStars Sure! Go ahead - does Inkitt have a PM function? If so, toss me one! I'd love to wax words.

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience writing or researching spirit element for their stories? I am planning on implementing it in my series, but am having trouble deciding what I want without unintentionally using other people's work.

Thanks!

Hi!

I published the first eight chapters of my novel and would love to hear your opinions: In Mailing Dreams, Christy Sheppard's college student life no longer feels like an ordinary repeat, that is if you consider having your dreams mail to you every morning at the same time to be ordinary. Christy is chasing her dreams in order to find out who is sending her these letters and why. The more she searches the more she finds herself tangled between her dreams and her life. As she ... See More starts to put the pieces together everyone in her life begins to look like a suspect.

Hello everyone! I would love if you check or read my first story here. I already wrote a prologue. And maybe you could spot some mistakes or something? I would definitely love to read all your comments. Thank you.
