I’ll be doing a YouTube live Q&A event on this Friday, September 30th at 7pm Mountain Daylight Time in support of The Pixel Project’s work to stop violence against women. I’ll be reading an excerpt from Burning Glass and answering all the questions you have for me! 💜 In addition, I’ve donated an awesome package of signed books, a signed ARC, limited edition swag, and a Zoom writing consultation or fan chat. The Pixel Project will be auctioning this off to raise funds for their non-profit. The YouTube event is also your chance to place a bid. 💜 I sincerely hope you can join us!

Thursday TBR

Hey guys so I’m sure many of my fellow book bloggers have a piling to be read list just like I do and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. So every Thursday I’m going to post a book that I’m interested in reading but don’t know if I should actually take the time to read it or just remove it from my TBR pile.

So today I’m going to ask what you guys think about reading this book

It was a…

Did you know that today is Dictionary Day?! This was pulled from a Dictionary dating to 1799. ‘Burning. Burning Glasses, and Burroughs's Machine.’ was engraved on copper by J. Pass for the "Encyclopaedia Londinensis; or, Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature, Comprehending, Under One General Alphabetical Arrangement, all the Words and Substance of Every Kind of Dictionary Extant in the English Language. In which the Improved Departments of the Mechanical Arts, the Liberal Sciences, the Higher Mathematics, and the Several Branches of Polite Literature, are Selected from the Acts, Memoirs, and Transactions, of the Most Eminent Literary Societies, in Europe, Asia, and America." by John Wilkes. It was published by J. Adlard out of London on November 4th, 1799. This print measures 10 7/8 x 8 3/8 inches.

My friend @tricialevenseller tagged me to share the word counts of my books. Definitely check out the post where she shares hers, because she does a great job explaining why the publishing industry focuses on word counts vs. page numbers, and what word counts are encouraged when trying to sell speculative YA fiction. ✏️ 80k is probably the sweet spot, and as you can see, my word counts usually exceed that...which is why I also wanted to include additional word counts (swipe right), so you can see the bigger picture for my books. ✏️ Here’s a breakdown of my terms: First draft - the initial draft I turn in to my editor, which has already been self-revised. Revised draft - the draft I turn in to my editor after our first big round of content edits. Final draft - the published book. ✏️ Also, keep in mind that my agent sold the Burning Glass trilogy as a trilogy (some books in a series are sold one by one to the publisher), so it was sold based off my my first draft of Burning Glass (90k words) and a synopsis of books two and three. On the other hand, Bone Crier’s Moon was sold to my same editor as a duology, based off a partial draft of book one and a synopsis of book two. ✏️ I mention all of this because some of my final word counts are fairly high, and I wouldn’t recommend trying to sell a YA manuscript that’s over 90k, especially if you’re a debut author. My word counts increased in the process of revisions with my editor. ✏️ It’s also interesting to note that my two sequels in the Burning Glass trilogy, Crystal Blade and Frozen Reign, were initially much longer than they ended up when published, whereas other books of mine started smaller and ended up much bigger. Each story requires a different word count in the end, and the ones whose vary the most in the process are the books I had to most drastically revise. ✏️ If you’re a writer, what word counts do your first drafts tend to be? Mine usually fall in the 90-100k range, and again, that’s for YA fantasy. . . . #bonecriersmoon #bonecriersdawn #burningglass #crystalblade #frozenreign #kathrynpurdie #wordcount #writingtips #bookstagram #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writingadvice https://www.instagram.com/p/CEFeIDrpksS/?igshid=hiq95teqbtgr

How pretty is the cover of @kathrynpurdie's #BurningGlass? The minute I saw this gorgeous book available in Paperback, I hit the buy button on Amazon and I didn't regret it one bit! . . Burning Glass is the first book in Kathryn Purdie's epic fantasy series which you should definitely check out because I've only heard good things! . . QOTD: Favourite cover of 2017?!

"Books are uniquely portable magic." ~Stephen King . The argument of digital books versus print books seems to be an all the time topic... but really, they both have an important place in my life... I mean digital books can save so much money, but I will never give up the feel of actual print books. . In fact I always have at least one digital book going and read them while I do my cool down workouts at the gym. | ebooks #readgushSept17 . memorable quote #fanaticalbirdsept |big #ampersandsept17 | throwback thursday #writerswhobookstagramSept | unexpected plot twist #psychyououtsept | bookstack #bookstagrambasics | green #bookishshapes17 . . . . . #amreading #bookfanatic #bookblogger #bookstagrammershavemorefun #bookishlove #ireadeverywhere #bookstagrammers #quotes #bookishquotes #bookdragon #letstalkbooks #geekerella #burningglass #epicreads
