... her prose is actually better than most of the prose in /lit/'s critique threads

It really isn't bad. Good enough to be traditionally published, particularly with the trend toward young female authors.

even don quixote knew how dangerous self-publishing was :3

>But tell me, are you printing this book at your own risk, or have you sold the copyright to some bookseller?"
>"I print at my own risk," said the author, "and I expect to make a thousand ducats at least by this first edition, which is to be of two thousand copies that will go off in a twinkling at six reals apiece."
>"A fine calculation you are making!" said Don Quixote; "it is plain you don't know the ins and outs of the printers, and how they play into one another's hands. I promise you when you find yourself saddled with two thousand copies you will feel so sore that it will astonish you, particularly if the book is a little out of the common and not in any way highly spiced."
>"What!" said the author, "would your worship, then, have me give it to a bookseller who will give three maravedis for the copyright and think he is doing me a favour? I do not print my books to win fame in the world, for I am known in it already by my works; I want to make money, without which reputation is not worth a rap."

Is that really surprising? Most of /lit/ thinks Pynchon, and postmodernism generally, is good fiction.

>> No.5820665

>>5820645
I'm not just saying this because she's a 15 year old redditor, but this really isn't good and if you think it's better than most of what lit writes then you're either saying it to be a contrarian or you don't actually know what decent prose is.

Looks like something I'd enjoy reading as a child. Definitely promising. It's already pretty good, without having the forced ''literary style'' vibe. I hope she keeps it up.
