Does fiver for reviews work?

[Anonymous No.57508331]

>>57508194
Look man, I’ve done this a lot. Self publishing won’t work well unless you already have an audience. Most agents want MINIMUM of two polished manuscripts before they’ll touch you. Try for an agent regardless. Good luck bro. Post a burner email if you want me to beta read it. Hope you make it.

Always be writing bro. You are a writer after all, aren’t you? I’m serious though if you post an email I’ll read it and give feedback.
Get a copy of Writers Market 2024. Find an agent in your genre, in your country. Write a proposal letter. Ever been published anywhere before? It helps a lot if you have. Think of it like a resume.

>You are a writer after all, aren’t you?
As a hobby but no this isn't my career. I'm cool to take breaks in-between manuscripts. Didn't between these though
>>57508380
>Write a proposal letter. Ever been published anywhere before?
No but I've always heard to write short stories and try and build up a publication history like that

[Anonymous No.57508418]

>>57508401
That’s how I started. Did basic flash fiction competitions. Then short stories. Got a bunch published over years. It takes years to get good. Long listed and short listed a lot too.
One last time: make a burner and post it. Free help doesn’t come around often.

My short fiction manuscript is 18000 words. It’s fine by me if no else reads it. No one else would want to.

What genre is it? I want to write a scifi fantasy novel that rivals Gene Wolfe.

[Anonymous No.57508540]

>>57508529
sci fi and fantasy are pretty gay but it would be cool to write something that rivals gene wolfe or brandon sanderson (who is way better let's be real bro) like a really epic hard magic system and also with some kind of hard sci thing to it like the martian but also set in a fantasy world and also with really big strong muscular people fighting each other and also with huge tits

good luck

Sci-fi and fantasy have been compromised now (like pretty much everything else); however the benefit was always that you could touch more controversial ideas, which would be instantly cancelled if the storyline involved humdrum human characters.
