Nathan Bransford - The Forums

I went a step further and googled her. After reading a few more interviews, I'm afraid that I am unable to form a very favorable view of her. She seems to go out of her way to be "different" or perhaps "edgy" and to me I'm afraid she comes off as entitled. There is certainly no s...

Well, that came about just a little late for Father's Day, now didn't it?

I wish there was someplce to go to do a side-by-side comparison of these readers.

I can't imagine some of the stuff that must cross agent's desktops. I'll bet they could fill a book...hey!!!

On my current wip, the ending revealed itself to me about four months before I ended up really needing it, so I wrote it all down and put it in a safe place. I have another novel in the works and I kind of sort of almost know how it ends. I have a short story that sat around unfinished for almost a ...

Conferences are soooooooooooooooooooo motivating. This is so true. I'm thinking very hard about attending the Surrey Writers' Conference this year not only for the opportunity to renew several acquaintances but to get recharged. I don't belong to any "real life" writers' groups and someti...

Nathan checked the door latch for the third time and then returned to the battered wood table. The single bare bulb dangling from its cord still swung in ever decreasing ovals, causing the shadows of the multi-shaped dice to orbit their sources like poorly trained ballet dancers. The 20-sided die wa...

Without regard to how people might feel about the contest, I think it's nice to see how the Introduction thread has grown in the last week. I know that I am guilty of limiting my participation here to perhaps a third of the forums and new voices are what forums need to grow and evolve. As to the con...

I did though I have no wild dreams of the generator picking mine. I just don't have any luck with stuff like this or contests in general. Honestly, the reason I put mine up there is because I admire everybody else who did (and all the folks who put their hearts out there in the action contest last ...

Well, I decided to enter because even though my manuscript is not totally where I want it to be yet, my first two paragraphs are finished :)

I just posted mine after reading all of the other entries. There sure are a lot of people with their submission as their one and only forum comment.

[quote="Regan Leigh Mine are more general literary stuff, with some YA and Horror mixed in at times. :D A little diverse. lol [/quote] The SF and Mystery writers really seem to have a lot of markets, but even my alternate timeline story probably isn't "out there" far enough for them. ...

TITLE: Kaeso GENRE: Historical Fiction I left the Roman road while the sun was still low in the east and warming my back. Flat and smooth, it had served me well and allowed me to put distance between myself and my pursuers. Its sightlines gave me time to hide at the first sign of another traveler, s...

Just a general curiosity question for you Nathan (since by asking it will be crystal clear that the situation does not apply to me): Have you ever had, or known of, a first time author turning down a multiple book deal in favor of just selling the one they have ready? How do agents and publishers re...

I hope you find some good leads!

I looked for some places to place some historical fiction shorts, but there isn't a terribly large market I'm afraid.

My critique partner is proud to write fan fiction. Her inspiration? Alexander Dumas! Where he left off she took over, and believe me, it's nothing like Star Trek!
