Today, we\u2019re celebrating a special moment for Inkitt author Elle Jay<\/strong><\/a>: the launch of The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> on Galatea!\u00a0 From imagining new endings for favorite books to gaining confidence as a writer through Inkitt\u2019s community, Elle Jay\u2019s journey shows how passion, persistence, and reader support can turn a dream into reality.<\/p>\n
Inkitt: What inspired you to become an author? Was there a specific moment that sparked your passion for storytelling? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I have enjoyed reading for a number of years from a variety of genres and started thinking of alternative endings for stories that I read. For a long time, I didn\u2019t think I could do it and lacked the confidence to start writing a story. Inkitt was a driving force in me starting to write. It was inspiring to see that anybody from any background could write a story and people would like it, and this gave me a lot of confidence to be able to start.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Inkitt: What was the first story you ever wrote? How does it compare to what you write now? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first story I wrote was the Silver Siren, a werewolf novel. Following that I have started a series based around ice hockey. Obviously some differences in genre, but I can see from re-reading them that my writing has evolved and is including more complex storylines.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How did you first discover Inkitt, and what was your early experience like on the platform? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I first discovered Inkitt through Galatea after seeing novels advertised on social media platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: What was it like seeing your story gain traction? Were there any key milestones or reader interactions that stood out? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> It was quite out of the blue. I was so inspired my actually finishing my first book and being in a position to submit it to readers on Inkitt, I jumped headfirst into another story and was so immersed in writing that one, that I checked further down the line and was surprised to see how popular it was becoming and how many people had enjoyed reading it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Did Inkitt’s analytics or engagement features<\/a> help you shape your story? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Not really. The story was already complete and as I had already started a series, I had little opportunity to change the story line, and I was also quite happy with it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Have you participated in any Inkitt writing contests? <\/span>What was that experience like? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Yes I have. I entered into a few. It is good to be able to enter competitions and they are always popular.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: When did you find out you were going to be a Galatea author? How did that feel? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I found out I was selected to be published after about 6 months of being on Inkitt. It was a wonderful moment and I felt very proud of myself. And again, it gave me a real boost to keep writing more stories across different genres.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elle Jay, author on Inkitt and Galatea<\/p><\/div>\n
Inkitt: What are you most excited about readers seeing in your book on Galatea? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019m excited about sharing my story. <\/span><\/p>\n
Galatea is a huge platform and I want many people to enjoy it and I hope that they will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nInkitt: What advice would you give to other Inkitt authors hoping to sign a Galatea contract? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Be patient. It doesn\u2019t happen overnight but trust in the readers. <\/span><\/p>\n
And listen to what Inkitt readers are saying. This has been particularly helpful with all my subsequent stories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Were there specific moments on Inkitt that paved the way for your Galatea signing? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Getting the reviews for my story, I think, were important moments. Because it\u2019s at this point when you know your story is good and liked by the readers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced in your writing journey, and how have you overcome them? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Writers block can happen, and is difficult to deal with when it hits. Also, because I am a part-time writer, finding the time to dedicate to writing and editing can be hard.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Is there a piece of advice you were given early in your career that’s stuck with you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Trust in the process. The first story you write can be daunting, but trusting in the process can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you stay motivated during long projects or tough writing days? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Taking a short break often helps me quite a lot. Then I can come back to writing with fresher eyes. Dividing up long days into manageable chunks also helps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Which authors or books have influenced your writing style the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Some of the best-selling novels on Galatea have been quite inspiring, like Keily<\/strong><\/a> for example. Reading a lot of werewolf stories<\/strong><\/a> has also helped, and this genre has become my favourite genre because there is so much variety you can include. The fantasy element allows for almost limitless possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Where do you find inspiration for your stories, characters, and worlds? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Again, reading my favourite genre helps, but I also draw inspiration from music and social media.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Do you have any specific writing rituals or environments that help you get into a creative mindset?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually write at home, whilst the house is empty, in my spare time. Writing is cathartic to me so usually helps me to unwind. I find it quite relaxing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Are you a plotter (carefully outlining your story) or a pantser (letting the story develop as you write)?<\/span><\/h3>\n Elle Jay:<\/strong> <\/span>I would say I\u2019m a bit of both. I start with an outline of chapters, so have an idea what each one will contain, but generally let each one develop as I\u2019m writing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you develop your characters? Do they ever surprise you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually start with a rough outline of a character, and then this develops throughout the story. Sometimes, the character ends up completely different to how I first imagined them, which is always a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first beginnings of a story where I can start to lay the outline. I find this part the most exciting, because there are so many possibilities I could explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Are there any recurring themes or messages you hope readers take away from your stories? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to think that my stories make every reader believe in a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you overcome writer’s block?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I generally take a break from it and focus on something else for a while, then I can go back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective to tackle the problem again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Elle Jay\u2019s story proves that with patience, confidence, and a love for storytelling, anyone can find their readers. As The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> reaches new audiences on Galatea, we\u2019re excited to see Elle Jay continue exploring new genres and creating stories that make readers believe in happy endings. Be sure to check out The Silver Siren<\/em> on Galatea and get ready to fall in love with a brand new werewolf world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Inkitt: Have you participated in any Inkitt writing contests? <\/span>What was that experience like? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Yes I have. I entered into a few. It is good to be able to enter competitions and they are always popular.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: When did you find out you were going to be a Galatea author? How did that feel? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I found out I was selected to be published after about 6 months of being on Inkitt. It was a wonderful moment and I felt very proud of myself. And again, it gave me a real boost to keep writing more stories across different genres.<\/span><\/p>\n
Elle Jay, author on Inkitt and Galatea<\/p><\/div>\n
Inkitt: What are you most excited about readers seeing in your book on Galatea? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019m excited about sharing my story. <\/span><\/p>\n
Galatea is a huge platform and I want many people to enjoy it and I hope that they will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nInkitt: What advice would you give to other Inkitt authors hoping to sign a Galatea contract? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Be patient. It doesn\u2019t happen overnight but trust in the readers. <\/span><\/p>\n
And listen to what Inkitt readers are saying. This has been particularly helpful with all my subsequent stories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Were there specific moments on Inkitt that paved the way for your Galatea signing? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Getting the reviews for my story, I think, were important moments. Because it\u2019s at this point when you know your story is good and liked by the readers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced in your writing journey, and how have you overcome them? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Writers block can happen, and is difficult to deal with when it hits. Also, because I am a part-time writer, finding the time to dedicate to writing and editing can be hard.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Is there a piece of advice you were given early in your career that’s stuck with you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Trust in the process. The first story you write can be daunting, but trusting in the process can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you stay motivated during long projects or tough writing days? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Taking a short break often helps me quite a lot. Then I can come back to writing with fresher eyes. Dividing up long days into manageable chunks also helps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Which authors or books have influenced your writing style the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Some of the best-selling novels on Galatea have been quite inspiring, like Keily<\/strong><\/a> for example. Reading a lot of werewolf stories<\/strong><\/a> has also helped, and this genre has become my favourite genre because there is so much variety you can include. The fantasy element allows for almost limitless possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Where do you find inspiration for your stories, characters, and worlds? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Again, reading my favourite genre helps, but I also draw inspiration from music and social media.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Do you have any specific writing rituals or environments that help you get into a creative mindset?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually write at home, whilst the house is empty, in my spare time. Writing is cathartic to me so usually helps me to unwind. I find it quite relaxing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Are you a plotter (carefully outlining your story) or a pantser (letting the story develop as you write)?<\/span><\/h3>\n Elle Jay:<\/strong> <\/span>I would say I\u2019m a bit of both. I start with an outline of chapters, so have an idea what each one will contain, but generally let each one develop as I\u2019m writing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you develop your characters? Do they ever surprise you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually start with a rough outline of a character, and then this develops throughout the story. Sometimes, the character ends up completely different to how I first imagined them, which is always a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first beginnings of a story where I can start to lay the outline. I find this part the most exciting, because there are so many possibilities I could explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Are there any recurring themes or messages you hope readers take away from your stories? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to think that my stories make every reader believe in a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you overcome writer’s block?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I generally take a break from it and focus on something else for a while, then I can go back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective to tackle the problem again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Elle Jay\u2019s story proves that with patience, confidence, and a love for storytelling, anyone can find their readers. As The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> reaches new audiences on Galatea, we\u2019re excited to see Elle Jay continue exploring new genres and creating stories that make readers believe in happy endings.

Inkitt: What was it like seeing your story gain traction? Were there any key milestones or reader interactions that stood out? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> It was quite out of the blue. I was so inspired my actually finishing my first book and being in a position to submit it to readers on Inkitt, I jumped headfirst into another story and was so immersed in writing that one, that I checked further down the line and was surprised to see how popular it was becoming and how many people had enjoyed reading it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I start with an outline of chapters, so have an idea what each one will contain, but generally let each one develop as I\u2019m writing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you develop your characters? Do they ever surprise you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually start with a rough outline of a character, and then this develops throughout the story. Sometimes, the character ends up completely different to how I first imagined them, which is always a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first beginnings of a story where I can start to lay the outline. I find this part the most exciting, because there are so many possibilities I could explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Are there any recurring themes or messages you hope readers take away from your stories? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to think that my stories make every reader believe in a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you overcome writer’s block?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I generally take a break from it and focus on something else for a while, then I can go back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective to tackle the problem again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Elle Jay\u2019s story proves that with patience, confidence, and a love for storytelling, anyone can find their readers. As The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> reaches new audiences on Galatea, we\u2019re excited to see Elle Jay continue exploring new genres and creating stories that make readers believe in happy endings.

Elle Jay:<\/strong> Not really. The story was already complete and as I had already started a series, I had little opportunity to change the story line, and I was also quite happy with it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Have you participated in any Inkitt writing contests? <\/span>What was that experience like? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Yes I have. I entered into a few. It is good to be able to enter competitions and they are always popular.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: When did you find out you were going to be a Galatea author? How did that feel? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I found out I was selected to be published after about 6 months of being on Inkitt. It was a wonderful moment and I felt very proud of myself. And again, it gave me a real boost to keep writing more stories across different genres.<\/span><\/p>\n
Elle Jay, author on Inkitt and Galatea<\/p><\/div>\n
Inkitt: What are you most excited about readers seeing in your book on Galatea? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019m excited about sharing my story. <\/span><\/p>\n
Galatea is a huge platform and I want many people to enjoy it and I hope that they will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nInkitt: What advice would you give to other Inkitt authors hoping to sign a Galatea contract? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Be patient. It doesn\u2019t happen overnight but trust in the readers. <\/span><\/p>\n
And listen to what Inkitt readers are saying. This has been particularly helpful with all my subsequent stories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Were there specific moments on Inkitt that paved the way for your Galatea signing? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Getting the reviews for my story, I think, were important moments. Because it\u2019s at this point when you know your story is good and liked by the readers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced in your writing journey, and how have you overcome them? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Writers block can happen, and is difficult to deal with when it hits. Also, because I am a part-time writer, finding the time to dedicate to writing and editing can be hard.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Is there a piece of advice you were given early in your career that’s stuck with you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Trust in the process. The first story you write can be daunting, but trusting in the process can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you stay motivated during long projects or tough writing days? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Taking a short break often helps me quite a lot. Then I can come back to writing with fresher eyes. Dividing up long days into manageable chunks also helps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Which authors or books have influenced your writing style the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Some of the best-selling novels on Galatea have been quite inspiring, like Keily<\/strong><\/a> for example. Reading a lot of werewolf stories<\/strong><\/a> has also helped, and this genre has become my favourite genre because there is so much variety you can include. The fantasy element allows for almost limitless possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Where do you find inspiration for your stories, characters, and worlds? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Again, reading my favourite genre helps, but I also draw inspiration from music and social media.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Do you have any specific writing rituals or environments that help you get into a creative mindset?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually write at home, whilst the house is empty, in my spare time. Writing is cathartic to me so usually helps me to unwind. I find it quite relaxing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Are you a plotter (carefully outlining your story) or a pantser (letting the story develop as you write)?<\/span><\/h3>\n Elle Jay:<\/strong> <\/span>I would say I\u2019m a bit of both. I start with an outline of chapters, so have an idea what each one will contain, but generally let each one develop as I\u2019m writing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you develop your characters? Do they ever surprise you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually start with a rough outline of a character, and then this develops throughout the story. Sometimes, the character ends up completely different to how I first imagined them, which is always a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first beginnings of a story where I can start to lay the outline. I find this part the most exciting, because there are so many possibilities I could explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Are there any recurring themes or messages you hope readers take away from your stories? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to think that my stories make every reader believe in a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you overcome writer’s block?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I generally take a break from it and focus on something else for a while, then I can go back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective to tackle the problem again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Elle Jay\u2019s story proves that with patience, confidence, and a love for storytelling, anyone can find their readers. As The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> reaches new audiences on Galatea, we\u2019re excited to see Elle Jay continue exploring new genres and creating stories that make readers believe in happy endings.

Elle Jay:<\/strong> I found out I was selected to be published after about 6 months of being on Inkitt. It was a wonderful moment and I felt very proud of myself. And again, it gave me a real boost to keep writing more stories across different genres.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elle Jay, author on Inkitt and Galatea<\/p><\/div>\n
Inkitt: What are you most excited about readers seeing in your book on Galatea? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019m excited about sharing my story. <\/span><\/p>\n
Galatea is a huge platform and I want many people to enjoy it and I hope that they will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nInkitt: What advice would you give to other Inkitt authors hoping to sign a Galatea contract? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Be patient. It doesn\u2019t happen overnight but trust in the readers. <\/span><\/p>\n
And listen to what Inkitt readers are saying. This has been particularly helpful with all my subsequent stories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Were there specific moments on Inkitt that paved the way for your Galatea signing? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Getting the reviews for my story, I think, were important moments. Because it\u2019s at this point when you know your story is good and liked by the readers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced in your writing journey, and how have you overcome them? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Writers block can happen, and is difficult to deal with when it hits. Also, because I am a part-time writer, finding the time to dedicate to writing and editing can be hard.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Is there a piece of advice you were given early in your career that’s stuck with you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Trust in the process. The first story you write can be daunting, but trusting in the process can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you stay motivated during long projects or tough writing days? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Taking a short break often helps me quite a lot. Then I can come back to writing with fresher eyes. Dividing up long days into manageable chunks also helps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Which authors or books have influenced your writing style the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Some of the best-selling novels on Galatea have been quite inspiring, like Keily<\/strong><\/a> for example. Reading a lot of werewolf stories<\/strong><\/a> has also helped, and this genre has become my favourite genre because there is so much variety you can include. The fantasy element allows for almost limitless possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Where do you find inspiration for your stories, characters, and worlds? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Again, reading my favourite genre helps, but I also draw inspiration from music and social media.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Do you have any specific writing rituals or environments that help you get into a creative mindset?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually write at home, whilst the house is empty, in my spare time. Writing is cathartic to me so usually helps me to unwind. I find it quite relaxing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Are you a plotter (carefully outlining your story) or a pantser (letting the story develop as you write)?<\/span><\/h3>\n Elle Jay:<\/strong> <\/span>I would say I\u2019m a bit of both. I start with an outline of chapters, so have an idea what each one will contain, but generally let each one develop as I\u2019m writing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you develop your characters? Do they ever surprise you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually start with a rough outline of a character, and then this develops throughout the story. Sometimes, the character ends up completely different to how I first imagined them, which is always a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first beginnings of a story where I can start to lay the outline. I find this part the most exciting, because there are so many possibilities I could explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Are there any recurring themes or messages you hope readers take away from your stories? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to think that my stories make every reader believe in a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you overcome writer’s block?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I generally take a break from it and focus on something else for a while, then I can go back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective to tackle the problem again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Elle Jay\u2019s story proves that with patience, confidence, and a love for storytelling, anyone can find their readers. As The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> reaches new audiences on Galatea, we\u2019re excited to see Elle Jay continue exploring new genres and creating stories that make readers believe in happy endings. Be sure to check out The Silver Siren<\/em> on Galatea and get ready to fall in love with a brand new werewolf world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Inkitt: What advice would you give to other Inkitt authors hoping to sign a Galatea contract? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Be patient. It doesn\u2019t happen overnight but trust in the readers. <\/span><\/p>\n
And listen to what Inkitt readers are saying. This has been particularly helpful with all my subsequent stories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Were there specific moments on Inkitt that paved the way for your Galatea signing? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Getting the reviews for my story, I think, were important moments. Because it\u2019s at this point when you know your story is good and liked by the readers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced in your writing journey, and how have you overcome them? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Writers block can happen, and is difficult to deal with when it hits. Also, because I am a part-time writer, finding the time to dedicate to writing and editing can be hard.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Is there a piece of advice you were given early in your career that’s stuck with you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Trust in the process. The first story you write can be daunting, but trusting in the process can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you stay motivated during long projects or tough writing days? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Taking a short break often helps me quite a lot. Then I can come back to writing with fresher eyes. Dividing up long days into manageable chunks also helps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Which authors or books have influenced your writing style the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Some of the best-selling novels on Galatea have been quite inspiring, like Keily<\/strong><\/a> for example. Reading a lot of werewolf stories<\/strong><\/a> has also helped, and this genre has become my favourite genre because there is so much variety you can include. The fantasy element allows for almost limitless possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Where do you find inspiration for your stories, characters, and worlds? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Again, reading my favourite genre helps, but I also draw inspiration from music and social media.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Do you have any specific writing rituals or environments that help you get into a creative mindset?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually write at home, whilst the house is empty, in my spare time. Writing is cathartic to me so usually helps me to unwind. I find it quite relaxing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Are you a plotter (carefully outlining your story) or a pantser (letting the story develop as you write)?<\/span><\/h3>\n Elle Jay:<\/strong> <\/span>I would say I\u2019m a bit of both. I start with an outline of chapters, so have an idea what each one will contain, but generally let each one develop as I\u2019m writing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you develop your characters? Do they ever surprise you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually start with a rough outline of a character, and then this develops throughout the story. Sometimes, the character ends up completely different to how I first imagined them, which is always a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first beginnings of a story where I can start to lay the outline. I find this part the most exciting, because there are so many possibilities I could explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Are there any recurring themes or messages you hope readers take away from your stories? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to think that my stories make every reader believe in a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you overcome writer’s block?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I generally take a break from it and focus on something else for a while, then I can go back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective to tackle the problem again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Elle Jay\u2019s story proves that with patience, confidence, and a love for storytelling, anyone can find their readers. As The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> reaches new audiences on Galatea, we\u2019re excited to see Elle Jay continue exploring new genres and creating stories that make readers believe in happy endings. Be sure to check out The Silver Siren<\/em> on Galatea and get ready to fall in love with a brand new werewolf world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Elle Jay:<\/strong> Getting the reviews for my story, I think, were important moments. Because it\u2019s at this point when you know your story is good and liked by the readers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced in your writing journey, and how have you overcome them? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Writers block can happen, and is difficult to deal with when it hits. Also, because I am a part-time writer, finding the time to dedicate to writing and editing can be hard.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Is there a piece of advice you were given early in your career that’s stuck with you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Trust in the process. The first story you write can be daunting, but trusting in the process can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you stay motivated during long projects or tough writing days? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Taking a short break often helps me quite a lot. Then I can come back to writing with fresher eyes. Dividing up long days into manageable chunks also helps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Which authors or books have influenced your writing style the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Some of the best-selling novels on Galatea have been quite inspiring, like Keily<\/strong><\/a> for example. Reading a lot of werewolf stories<\/strong><\/a> has also helped, and this genre has become my favourite genre because there is so much variety you can include. The fantasy element allows for almost limitless possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Where do you find inspiration for your stories, characters, and worlds? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Again, reading my favourite genre helps, but I also draw inspiration from music and social media.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Do you have any specific writing rituals or environments that help you get into a creative mindset?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually write at home, whilst the house is empty, in my spare time. Writing is cathartic to me so usually helps me to unwind. I find it quite relaxing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Are you a plotter (carefully outlining your story) or a pantser (letting the story develop as you write)?<\/span><\/h3>\n Elle Jay:<\/strong> <\/span>I would say I\u2019m a bit of both. I start with an outline of chapters, so have an idea what each one will contain, but generally let each one develop as I\u2019m writing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you develop your characters? Do they ever surprise you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually start with a rough outline of a character, and then this develops throughout the story. Sometimes, the character ends up completely different to how I first imagined them, which is always a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first beginnings of a story where I can start to lay the outline. I find this part the most exciting, because there are so many possibilities I could explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Are there any recurring themes or messages you hope readers take away from your stories? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to think that my stories make every reader believe in a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you overcome writer’s block?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I generally take a break from it and focus on something else for a while, then I can go back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective to tackle the problem again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Elle Jay\u2019s story proves that with patience, confidence, and a love for storytelling, anyone can find their readers. As The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> reaches new audiences on Galatea, we\u2019re excited to see Elle Jay continue exploring new genres and creating stories that make readers believe in happy endings. Be sure to check out The Silver Siren<\/em> on Galatea and get ready to fall in love with a brand new werewolf world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Elle Jay:<\/strong> Trust in the process. The first story you write can be daunting, but trusting in the process can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you stay motivated during long projects or tough writing days? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Taking a short break often helps me quite a lot. Then I can come back to writing with fresher eyes. Dividing up long days into manageable chunks also helps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Which authors or books have influenced your writing style the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Some of the best-selling novels on Galatea have been quite inspiring, like Keily<\/strong><\/a> for example. Reading a lot of werewolf stories<\/strong><\/a> has also helped, and this genre has become my favourite genre because there is so much variety you can include. The fantasy element allows for almost limitless possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Where do you find inspiration for your stories, characters, and worlds? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Again, reading my favourite genre helps, but I also draw inspiration from music and social media.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Do you have any specific writing rituals or environments that help you get into a creative mindset?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually write at home, whilst the house is empty, in my spare time. Writing is cathartic to me so usually helps me to unwind. I find it quite relaxing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Are you a plotter (carefully outlining your story) or a pantser (letting the story develop as you write)?<\/span><\/h3>\n Elle Jay:<\/strong> <\/span>I would say I\u2019m a bit of both. I start with an outline of chapters, so have an idea what each one will contain, but generally let each one develop as I\u2019m writing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you develop your characters? Do they ever surprise you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually start with a rough outline of a character, and then this develops throughout the story. Sometimes, the character ends up completely different to how I first imagined them, which is always a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first beginnings of a story where I can start to lay the outline. I find this part the most exciting, because there are so many possibilities I could explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Are there any recurring themes or messages you hope readers take away from your stories? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to think that my stories make every reader believe in a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you overcome writer’s block?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I generally take a break from it and focus on something else for a while, then I can go back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective to tackle the problem again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Elle Jay\u2019s story proves that with patience, confidence, and a love for storytelling, anyone can find their readers. As The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> reaches new audiences on Galatea, we\u2019re excited to see Elle Jay continue exploring new genres and creating stories that make readers believe in happy endings. Be sure to check out The Silver Siren<\/em> on Galatea and get ready to fall in love with a brand new werewolf world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Elle Jay:<\/strong> Some of the best-selling novels on Galatea have been quite inspiring, like Keily<\/strong><\/a> for example. Reading a lot of werewolf stories<\/strong><\/a> has also helped, and this genre has become my favourite genre because there is so much variety you can include. The fantasy element allows for almost limitless possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: Where do you find inspiration for your stories, characters, and worlds? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> Again, reading my favourite genre helps, but I also draw inspiration from music and social media.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Do you have any specific writing rituals or environments that help you get into a creative mindset?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually write at home, whilst the house is empty, in my spare time. Writing is cathartic to me so usually helps me to unwind. I find it quite relaxing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Are you a plotter (carefully outlining your story) or a pantser (letting the story develop as you write)?<\/span><\/h3>\n Elle Jay:<\/strong> <\/span>I would say I\u2019m a bit of both. I start with an outline of chapters, so have an idea what each one will contain, but generally let each one develop as I\u2019m writing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you develop your characters? Do they ever surprise you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually start with a rough outline of a character, and then this develops throughout the story. Sometimes, the character ends up completely different to how I first imagined them, which is always a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first beginnings of a story where I can start to lay the outline. I find this part the most exciting, because there are so many possibilities I could explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Are there any recurring themes or messages you hope readers take away from your stories? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to think that my stories make every reader believe in a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you overcome writer’s block?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I generally take a break from it and focus on something else for a while, then I can go back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective to tackle the problem again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Elle Jay\u2019s story proves that with patience, confidence, and a love for storytelling, anyone can find their readers. As The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> reaches new audiences on Galatea, we\u2019re excited to see Elle Jay continue exploring new genres and creating stories that make readers believe in happy endings. Be sure to check out The Silver Siren<\/em> on Galatea and get ready to fall in love with a brand new werewolf world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Inkitt: Do you have any specific writing rituals or environments that help you get into a creative mindset?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually write at home, whilst the house is empty, in my spare time. Writing is cathartic to me so usually helps me to unwind. I find it quite relaxing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Inkitt: Are you a plotter (carefully outlining your story) or a pantser (letting the story develop as you write)?<\/span><\/h3>\n Elle Jay:<\/strong> <\/span>I would say I\u2019m a bit of both. I start with an outline of chapters, so have an idea what each one will contain, but generally let each one develop as I\u2019m writing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you develop your characters? Do they ever surprise you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually start with a rough outline of a character, and then this develops throughout the story. Sometimes, the character ends up completely different to how I first imagined them, which is always a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first beginnings of a story where I can start to lay the outline. I find this part the most exciting, because there are so many possibilities I could explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Are there any recurring themes or messages you hope readers take away from your stories? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to think that my stories make every reader believe in a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you overcome writer’s block?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I generally take a break from it and focus on something else for a while, then I can go back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective to tackle the problem again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Elle Jay\u2019s story proves that with patience, confidence, and a love for storytelling, anyone can find their readers. As The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> reaches new audiences on Galatea, we\u2019re excited to see Elle Jay continue exploring new genres and creating stories that make readers believe in happy endings.

Elle Jay:<\/strong> <\/span>I would say I\u2019m a bit of both. I start with an outline of chapters, so have an idea what each one will contain, but generally let each one develop as I\u2019m writing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you develop your characters? Do they ever surprise you? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I usually start with a rough outline of a character, and then this develops throughout the story. Sometimes, the character ends up completely different to how I first imagined them, which is always a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> The first beginnings of a story where I can start to lay the outline. I find this part the most exciting, because there are so many possibilities I could explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nInkitt: Are there any recurring themes or messages you hope readers take away from your stories? <\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to think that my stories make every reader believe in a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inkitt: How do you overcome writer’s block?<\/span><\/h3>\nElle Jay:<\/strong> I generally take a break from it and focus on something else for a while, then I can go back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective to tackle the problem again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Elle Jay\u2019s story proves that with patience, confidence, and a love for storytelling, anyone can find their readers. As The Silver Siren<\/em><\/a> reaches new audiences on Galatea, we\u2019re excited to see Elle Jay continue exploring new genres and creating stories that make readers believe in happy endings.
