First off, the book title font is very clunky, were you going for a gothic font? 'Worldstrait Book I' is not centrally aligned, you need shift it towards the left by a couple of spaces, and I'd suggest a small caps font for it. Your name could stand out more by increasing the contrast. Is this...

It's published. Thank you again!

That's perfect. Thank you! I figured I'd wait a while, but they publish their magazine every two months and have a cut off date, and have a waiting period for about that long, so I assumed they'd reply within 2 months after accepting. My revisions are minor, and there was nothing about not...

Thanks. How do I word it? I don't want to sound like an ass :/

One of my shorts got accepted by an online magazine. They said they loved it and want to publish it and they'd be back 'shortly'. I remember replying to them asking them if they're okay with a revised version. It's been a little more than two months and they haven't replied. I did a bit of...

Not even going to bother watching it. I've been waiting for months for something interesting to come to the theatres.

I... can't... look... away... Looks like "The Erect Oak" might be one of my favourites. Anyway, not to judge a book by its cover. I always loved fantasy book covers and as a kid I used to spend as much time staring at them as I did reading, and it's one of those things I eventually wanted to...

I hate pop-romance, but then I might be fooling myself into thinking that the historical romance I read as a teenager were all about the romance and not about you know, costumes and period drama and pretty dresses and men in uniform and stuff. But mostly the characters went through hell, the...

Just thought I'd post this here instead of starting a new thread, fun criticism of some very typical plotlines and character design: https://twitter.com/WorstMuse

Yes, I've tried GIMP :) seriously hated it, lol!I found it a tad buggy compared with Photoshop and also I don't tend to switch softwares easily, I'm pretty bad tech wise for eg., there are things in Photoshop that I discovered years after I started using it (like wow, did you know you can ROTATE...

Some of the artworks I did for fantasy book cover competitions (no wins but I did learn a lot). For example, the details for the illustration above (which I love because it deviates completely from what I usually do) would look good on paperback but never be visible for the kindle edition. Hence...

I'm going to go with Micheletto from the Borgias played by Sean Harris. He's like the most evil pet assassin, extremely loyal, and probably one of the most interesting secondary characters I've ever come across. Smith, I agree I did wait for Scorpius to come on screen in my Farscape days.

Lousy Book Covers I had to stop scrolling at the third one they're pretty bad.

TBH, from one woman's point of view, I've come come across some brave women/girls in ordinary day to day life, however among the men/boys, not one, and I can't even pick out one, among acquaintances or relatives, who have displayed any evidence of a spine if a particular situation demanded it...

The science of writing SF | Books | theguardian.com Short article I just read, thought I'd share on this thread instead of starting a new one. The comments are always fun.
