🎉📖 Congratulations to @amandasloothaak on the release of Ice Wolves, Book 2 of The Myths of the Northern Lands. ❄️🐺 📖✨ For book 2 in this series, we kept the same layout and design choices as volume 1. The only change was swapping the arrow chapter illustration for an axe. This kept the look consistent, sped up the process, and saved on production costs since we didn’t have to start from scratch. ✅ ➡️ Grateful for the amazing editing team @inspiredcreativeco_ and @cattediting 🙏🏻 Clean manuscripts = a much smoother typesetting process (and a happier designer!). 😃 📖 ⬇️ Available now in paperback, hardback, and eBook formats – Ice Wolves: The Myths of the Northern Lands: "The Northern Lands is a world inspired by Scandinavia, the Viking ages, and Norse mythology, where myths come back alive and find new meaning. The bonds between the seven clans are tested. The edges between allies and foes are blurred when the Northern Lands find themselves in a war with the Southern Warlord and his legion."

💁‍♀️ Need help with tone and mood in your novel writing? Maybe your scenes aren't hitting the right emotional notes, or your story atmosphere feels off, or maybe you’ve even received specific feedback saying your story’s tone/and or mood needs to be sharpened.. If so – you're not alone. Because so many writers struggle with this. For example… 😱 If you’re writing a thriller, your readers should feel tense and nervous. ❤️ If you create a cozy romance, your readers should feel warm and hopeful. And of course… 🔎 If you’re sizzling up a mystery, your readers should be gripped and curious. But here’s the thing… If your tone and mood aren't quite right, your readers won't experience your story the way you intended. That's why I invited Isobelle Lans (@inspiredcreativeco_) onto the podcast! She's a UK-based author, editor, and writing coach who knows exactly how to break down these tricky writing elements into practical, actionable steps. In this week’s brand-new episode, you'll learn: ✅ The real difference between tone and mood (finally explained in simple terms) ✅ 4 practical ways to keep your readers emotionally invested from page one to the end ✅ Exactly when to focus on tone and mood in your writing process ✅ The biggest tone and mood pitfalls to avoid and how to fix them 👉 Comment “171” and I’ll DM you the link! You won't want to miss this one! You’re going to love it! . . . . . #writingcommunity #authorlife #writingtips #novelwriting #writersofinstagram #writerslife

⚠️ Be wary of editors and coaches who do these 2 things... @rachelgrosvenorauthor and I often see posts and content from editors and coaches that, to us, look like a red flag. What are these? 🚩 They make promises and guarantees about their services. 🚩 They tell you what you should and shouldn't invest in. While it can be enticing to work with someone who promises success and big results, your writing is 🌟 art 🌟 and therefore results are hard to guarantee. Yes, an editor and coach can help you finish your book and make it better, but they can never promise publication or being a bestseller or making lots of money. If you find industry professionals making these big claims ❌️ be wary ❌️ Here's what an editor and coach CAN do: ✅️ Motivate you ✅️ Support you ✅️ Educate you ✅️ Inspire you These are the true benefits of working with an editor and coach. With their help and guidance, you can learn the skills you need to better succeed in your writing goals. ⚡ If this is the kind of support you need, The Fiction Fellowship is waiting for you! ⚡ Join an intimate community of like-minded writers and take the overwhelm out of writing alone. With two editors and coaches on hand, you'll learn new storytelling skills, develop new writing processes, and gain confidence in your ability. Take advantage of weekly live calls, writing sprints, resources and more. 👉 Join us through the link in our bios in time for new November content!

I have connected with many editors over the years, and we almost always seem to agree on one thing—we hate social media. 🙄 It's become a chore and we cringe at the thought of having to be "salesy." 😑 But maintaining a social media account is a necessity for everyone—not just editors! 📱 It's our way of keeping people in our network up to date with what's going on in our lives and in our businesses. 🤳🏽 It's a great way to engage with an untapped audience and make new connections! But here on Instagram is where it's at! I discovered an entirely new community of editors and realized this is where all the cool kids hang out. 😎 It was amazing and intriguing to see how connected the editorial community really is! On several occasions, I've received DMs from real editors who just want to say hello—not bots trying to sell services. 🤖 💻 One of those DMs came from @inspiredcreativeco_ owner of Inspired Creative Co. She's created an amazing profile with catchy, creative, and unique posts that relate to all types of writers and editors. I found it so inspirational, that I decided to devote a podcast episode on how to build a successful profile on Instagram geared specifically to editors. 😁 I am so excited to announce this upcoming episode because Isobelle @inspiredcreativeco_ makes it all seem doable, easy, and fun. She's also realistic in the way she talks about creating content on social media. ⭐ After this episode, and with summer finally here, I hope it'll inspire you to get outside and share more creative content with others! 🌻 #community #instagram #copyeditor #writers #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #reelsinstagram #editors #communitydevelopment #summer2023 #network #connections #podcast #content #share #creative #people #socialmedia #marketingdigital

Oh my gosh! I can't believe that I just had my last call with my editor. Working with Isobelle has been such a revelation for me. I've learned so much, been inspired by her enthusiasm and knowledge, and I know that my story and characters are much stronger for having had her input. I'm nervous about the next stages of this process, but I've come this far, and I know I can do it. Thank you @inspiredcreativeco_ for everything! #iamediting #editingprocess #novelediting #editorsofinstagram #bookeditors #amazingeditor #writingjourney #writingprocess #writinglife #authorlife #writerslife #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #writingcommunityofig #writerscommunityofig #womenwriters #womenwritersofig #writerssupportingwriters #writersconnection #writersjourney #finaldraft #finisheddraft #writinganovel #writingfiction #writingscifi #writingscifithriller #scifiwriter #aspiringauthor #aspiringwriter #icandothis
