FROM FAN FICTION TO ORIGINAL FICTION: WHAT IT’S REALLY LIKE TO WRITE NOVELS AND GET THEM PUBLISHED

 

IN FAN FICTION THE TERMS ‘WRITER’ AND ‘AUTHOR’ ARE OFTEN INTERCHANGED WITH LITTLE THOUGHT BUT AN AUTHOR IS A DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT THING. IT INDICATES A WRITER IS PUBLISHED AND WHILE WE HAVE MANY WRITERS IN FAN FICTION WE HAVE FEW ACTUAL AUTHORS, MY SECRET O IS ONE OF THEM AND WITH US SHE SHARED HOW WITH A LOT OF HARD WORK, PERSEVERANCE, AND DETERMINATION SHE CAME TO BE PUBLISHED AND CAN RIGHTFULLY CALL HERSELF AN AUTHOR.

MSBUFFY IS OUR RESIDENT BETA AT THE DIRECTORY BUT SHE IS IN FACT ALSO A PROFESSIONAL EDITOR IN REAL LIFE AND AS WELL AS WORKING HER MAGIC ON THIS SHE INTERSPERSED A FEW TIPS OF HER OWN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF AN EDITOR.

THIS IS A GREAT RESOURCE FOR (ASPIRING) WRITERS HOPING TO ONE DAY BE PUBLISHED BUT SHOULD ALSO BE A FUN READ FOR ANYONE WHO HAS EVER WONDERED WHAT IT REALLY TAKES TO GET PUBLISHED.
