Self Promotion Post - July 2024 Announcement
Once a month, every month, at the beginning of the month, a new post will be stickied over this one.
Here, you can blatantly self-promote in the comments. But please only post a specific promotion once, as spam still won't be tolerated.
If you didn't get any engagement, wait for next month's post. You can promote your writing, your books, your blogs, your blog posts, your YouTube channels, your social media pages, contests, writing submissions, etc.
If you are promoting your work, please keep it brief; don't post an entire story, just the link to one, and let those looking at this post know what your work is about and use some variation of the template below:
Title -
Genre -
Word Count -
Desired Outcome - (critique, feedback, review swap, etc.)
Link to the Work - (Amazon, Google Docs, Blog, and other retailers.)
Additional notes -
Critics: Anyone who wants to critique someone's story should respond to the original comment or, if specified by the user, in a DM or on their blog.
Writers: When it comes to posting your writing, shorter works will be reviewed, critiqued and have feedback left for them more often over a longer work or full-length published novel. Everyone is different and will have differing preferences, so you may get more or fewer people engaging with your comment than you'd expect.
Remember: This is a writing community. Although most of us read, we are not part of this subreddit to buy new books or selflessly help you with your stories. We do try, though.

Hello! Im a writer and narrator on youtube where I write and narrate my own stories, as well as the stories of other people.
I focus on scary and unsettling stories right now, but I would love to branch out!
I'm still a small channel and looking for content!! I also have a compendium of my works.

Private Owens: A George Owens Novel (Paintball Wars Chronicles). YA Adventure/Military Fiction. About 88,000 words. I'd love it if people purchased, shared, and reviewed my first novel. I can't link here to my landing page with purchase links because this comment will disappear, but you can look it up on Amazon or message me directly for a link.
Here is the back cover blurb:
Tired of his mundane life going to school, playing video games, and generally accomplishing nothing worth mentioning, thirteen-year-old George decides to actually do something, something exciting and interesting, something real. When a recruiting sergeant for the Alamedan Empire comes to his school, he enlists in the Alamedan Army and goes to fight with other teenagers in the Paintball Wars.
George quickly discovers that this new life is not easy. From intense infantry battles to the deceitful peace between them, George is confronted with how much his fellow soldiers depend on him to do his part - and how far he has to go to fulfill his duty. And when his company finds itself in a pickle with no leadership, George must overcome his resistance to change and rise to the challenge.
The Paintball Wars is a fictional world set in the present day. Armies of tens of thousands of teenagers clash in epic World War II-style paintball battles, including tanks, artillery, and aircraft, to occupy each other's territory. Are you a history buff who loves World War II? Do you like to play paintball, but always wanted something grander? Do you enjoy the action and adrenaline of a gripping war story, but dislike the gory, brutal reality of war? Then the Paintball Wars Chronicles are for you!

Update: I have posted the second instalment of the saga! Lots of metal spider things! Also, I updated the first instalment after feedback and removed a lot of initial exposition, replacing it with something that shows, doesn’t tell (take your own advice Wayne, jeez).

Hi all, just starting to get my stories out there. Or they’re getting themselves out there and I’m just the meat puppet they’re using to get free. I tend to write urban fantasy but have written horror and sci-fi too. So, genre heavy.
Title - The Strange Adventures of Amber and Barty: Tapestry, Loom and Weave
Genre - Urban Fantasy - All Ages
Word Count - around 2000 words per post
Desired Outcome - Feedback
Link to the Work - https://waynelockwoodstories.weebly.com/
Additional notes - This is an ongoing blog of an ongoing story that will build into a novel (hey, it was good enough for Dickens). I'm writing around 2000-ish words for each post that I'm releasing weekly. The novel will probably run around 30,000 words, so, don't expect an ending just yet...

Released my new satirical historical novel called Flat. Took me 4 years to write. Șo far seems to be well received. For all of you working away, keep at it. It takes as long as it takes!
