Writer's Advice and Feedback Group discussion

In this folder you can post your own creative story for feedback. Don't worry, the main rule here is to be nice and respectful, so no one here is going to be harsh or mean :)

Title should be "Your story's name" by Your name (ex: "The City" by Ali)

Horror Vacui by Charles Metzner

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to develop a cover for the work. I'm self publishing my work on Createspace. My sister actually created a front cover, but did not work on a back cover or the spine and I'm flummoxed on how to interface the dimensions Createspace wants and the PDF my sister sent me of the proposed illustration for my cover. Has anyone of you had to make a cover on Createspace? Can anyone offer aid?

I recently published my novel on Createspace. I had someone create the front cover, but not the spine or back. On their online cover creator, there is a template that allows you to add your own front cover, but it creates that spine and you add the information for the back cover.

Hi,

I created all five of my covers for my self-published books in Photoshop.

You have to download a template based on your books trim size and then open it in a design program.

It's tedious, but you have to be patient and just make sure your images touch the edge of the template.

Hi everyone,



The Lost Book of Chaos: How to Divide the World

I'm new here. Just published my first book (self published) under my pen name J.D. Thomas. It's a 650 page epic novel, a mix of science fiction and fantasy.

If anyone wants a copy, I can send as a gift through Kindle, or a PDF copy. You can send me a message with your email so I can send you the copy. Would appreciate reviews, observations, feedback.

Here is a description of the book:

In a world where humanity is caught in wars between powers beyond their understanding. A world where science and magic, mythology and truth, angels and gods, and ancient religions and history are one…

The greatest conspiracy in history is that angels continue to live amongst us, sometimes pretending to be gods, sometimes pretending to be humans. They are here, and have been here, since the beginning of time. This is a story of their secret wars. Wars fought in the shadows, and wars fought before our very eyes but hidden in plain sight.

Circa 2000 B.C. After the sky warship—the Tower Ship of Babel—is destroyed, the knowledge to rebuild it is scattered all over the world. These pieces are called the Ten Fragments of the Sephiroth, their location hidden in a book called the Zohar, and no matter what happens these ten pieces must never come together. Because if they do, it will lead us all to the destruction of the world.

Circa 30A.D. It has happened before, and it can happen again. Just as Lucifer destroyed the first heaven in ancient times, now Earth too is in danger. Judas Iscariot, the infamous Betrayer, with the help of the Serpent Dragon of Eden Nacash, must do everything in their power to save the world from self destruction.

But even as the angels battle against each other, and even as humans struggle to survive and rise up with their own power, a greater war rages on. One of such immense scale that even the angels know nothing of it. Battles between two races more powerful than the angels: the High Serpent Prophets, who are the only beings who can stand up against the Slayers, and the Slayers who seek to destroy the True Creator, and in the process destroy them all.

Thanks,

Oliver
