Writing tips: fairytale retellings

Know the difference between a retelling and inspired by

Make sure it's public domain

Only draw from the original (eg. if it has a Disney retelling do not draw from that. Disney is not public domain and you'll breach copyright)

You can sprinkle references or go fully into it

Retellings are more than just the events of the story. Look at the themes, the messages behind it

You can change setting, genders, genres! Anything you can think of

'The earliest Cinderella figures emerged within aristocratic milieus. Basile’s was prepared for academicians or their highly placed friends and acquaintances; Perrault’s was written for a princess of the blood; and d’Aulnoy’s was crafted for fellow salonières. In all three seventeenth-century tellings, Cinderella reproduced and represented aspects of aristocratic imaginaries.'

Ruth B. Bottigheimer, 'Cinderella: The People's Princess' in Cinderella across Cultures, ed. M. H. D. Rochere (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2016).

Book Review: "Alice The Dagger" by Ashley McLeo

What happens when Alice falls down the rabbit hole and learns that she's a long-lost princess of Wonderland? Find out in "Alice The Dagger" by Ashley McLeo! #bookreview #AliceTheDagger #AshleyMcLeo #review #wonderland #aliceinwonderland

  Cover of “Alice the Dagger” by Ashley McLeo. I’m back with another book review, and this time I’m reviewing “Alice The Dagger” by Ashley McLeo! I’ve read other Alice In Wonderland-inspired titles before, including “A Blade So Black” and “I Am Alice: Body Swap In Wonderland.” However, I hadn’t read an Alice In Wonderland-inspired title or retelling for quite some time. It was nice to pick up…

The Last Coffee Shop - Chapter 33: Who Says I Can't Keep Running Away?

But when a mysterious green-eyed stranger walks into the shop and seems to be the answer to all her problems, she's immediately skeptical. And her instincts have always been good . . . Luc is mysterious and adaptable, a drifter with a dark past and a score to settle with one of the galaxy's most infamous criminals. When he crosses paths with Mads, he inadvertently draws her into a complicated world of outlaws, renegades, and ancient curses existing on the fringe of a destroyed world. Can they put aside their differences to survive, or will they end up as two more nameless corpses? Inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, Baz Luhrmann films, 2000s pop punk, club bangers and a dash of Star Wars, "The Last Coffee Shop on Earth" is a science-fantasy adventure for fans of Firefly, White Collar, fairy-tale retellings, and Diana Wynne Jones. *Stay tuned for spin-offs/shorts in the world of TLCS* CW: PG13 level violence, language, sexual themes, and mentions of abuse, etc
