The Dead Shadow Has Been Over 10 Years In The Making
We are approaching the release date in August, and with every day that passes, we are getting more and more nervous. It’s been a long journey writing and shaping the book. So, of course, now that it is nearing the end of its solitary confinement, now that the book is ready to meet its readers, we can’t help but feel a little uneasy. What if you hate it?What if you don’t laugh at our…

This is extremely exciting. Of course, the manuscript has gone through countless hands before it finally found its readers. Friends who agreed to read and review it, agents (but we have no way of knowing…

Happy Pride Month And The Shadow of Phaedrus
Can you believe it? It’s already June, and, for the first time, my social media feed is showing new indie authors I had never noticed before. It may feel like we are jumping on a trendy bandwagon with the Pride Month and The Shadow of Phaedrus book series, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. For Pride Month, TikTok, Instagram and even Facebook, are trending LGBTQA+ indie authors, proving…

Thoughts on Viral Video Hooks: These 2 Grammar Mistakes
If you show an interest in writing, you can’t scroll peacefully on TikTok without coming across dozens of different videos on the most hated grammar mistakes. Now, the thing is that I don’t go to TikTok for grammar correction. I should be on there to build a BookTok community. In reality, I am spending the best part of my time watching K-drama edits and figuring out what BTS are up to — which,…

Are We Having a Podcast about The Dead Shadow?

In the meantime, we got an email from our publisher telling us we may be invited to a podcast about The Dead Shadow.Admittedly, as with most things, there are still a few elements to clarify, so we may or may not join a podcast about The Dead Shadow. But just thinking about the possibility of…

No More Guessing: How Old Are YA Readers?
The Dead Shadow is going to be released in a little over 3 months, and it’ll appear as a YA fantasy. YA stands for Young Adult. Since we’ve been telling everyone about it, more and more people have come back to us asking questions about YA age. How old are YA readers? Is it suitable for my son? He’s 8, but he reads a lot. Can I read it with my dog? He’s a senior dog, and he likes magical…

Read Our Guest Posts for Teen Literature Day
We sent our publisher some words for Teen Literature Day and were pleased to see our names in their guest posts. However, as it happened, the article is a compilation of many guest posts regarding Teen Literature Day. So to keep things short and practical, our publisher needed to amend and shorten some of the posts (or all of them? Who knows? We can only talk about ours) So here is the full…

If you know a writer or if you are one yourself, then you are probably familiar with Advanced Reader Copies. Those are the copies that are sent to the first readers, even before the book is available for sale. An advanced reader is crucial to helping the book reach out the right target audience and find its readers. As it happens, we are now at a stage where we can finally start looking for…

Meet Our Fabulous Literary Teen Selves on Teen Literature Day
What kind of literary teens were we? It seems only fitting to discuss what we were doing, literature-wise, when we were teens ourselves.It may have been a long time ago, but even if the memories are partially faded, some of the gestures and habits we developed and further nourished during those years are still second nature today. Literary Teens & Critical Reading As much as I enjoyed reading,…

Operation Funky Sticker Design - Just Over 4 Months For Book Merch
There is something deeply appealing about stickers. This must be my inner 6-year-old rejoicing about finding the perfect sticker. But I put it to you, who doesn’t like a good sticker? However, the thing about stickers is that you need a good sticker design. Ultimately, as much as I want people to proudly use our Dead Shadow stickers, I also want to make sure that they come with a relatable and…

We Don't Like Parents in YA Fiction
With Mother’s Day just around the corner in the UK, it’s time to talk about mothers, and parents in general, in young adult fiction. If you enjoy this safer kind of storytelling, you’ve probably noticed that parents in YA fiction are not quite like the ones we grew up with. Of course, they’re not; it’s fiction. I hear you. But there’s more to it. It’s something deeply ingrained in the…

5 Reasons to Get Hyped for Publication Month in August
We’re officially counting down to publication month, and I’ve never been more thrilled, more caffeinated, or more in awe of what this story has become. It’s happening. The Dead Shadow is coming out this August. What started as a chaotic collection of scribbled ideas, written late at night with one hand clutching a tea mug and the other occasionally shaking in giddy disbelief, has grown into a…

WWYD Humiliation: What Would 5 Phaedrus Characters Do?
Humiliation is a raw and burning emotion that can brand people forever.I have just started watching the K-drama Hyena on Netflix. It’s never been on my to-watch list because Netflix does a terrible job at showing decent synopses. If you don’t know the drama, the first few episodes show a privileged male lawyer being constantly humiliated by a street-smart (and ready to cross the line) female…

Come & See Our 1st Book Cover Reveal
Is the book cover the most important aspect of a new book? Ultimately, there is no denying that there are so many different book buyers that it makes sense to believe some would take the cover into consideration. Even if we’re trying to pick books basded on interests or genres, let’s be honest: An attention-grabbing book cover design can go a long way. So, as you can guess, we were very…
