Hi Kristene - I'd love to try a swap with you! My dark fantasy novel is complete and is sitting at 152k words but I'm willing to swap an amount of words equal to the length of your story. ;)Kindly see below info and let me know via PM/reply/email at authoromdavid@gmail.com if you're interested. Thanks. ;)
Genre: Dark Fantasy with Mystery and Horror elements.
Keywords: Atmospheric, Prophecy, Kingdom, Mysticism, Immersive, Dark
The seers and necromancers foretell a dark prophecy that shall leave the land consumed of life.
Caleb – a mercenary with a mysterious past – escapes from his tower prison and is tasked with retrieving a journal which is his world’s last hope for salvation and to stop the prophecy. There is a rift somewhere between the mortal world and the Volatile, and the seers are searching its location to seal it with the help of the journal, once found.
Meanwhile, an envoy of the court is seeking to prevent a grim war that will bring ruination to his kingdom…and not only.
I can provide feedback on characters (voice, consistency, personality), worldbuilding (setting, description, exposition), plot, writing style and flow of story. A quick disclaimer: the story has some mature content. Nothing (too) triggering (hopefully). :)
Thanks in advance!
Hi Kristene! I’m writing a YA Adventure/Romance (pirates and cowboys) with lots of lgbt representation and would love to chat about our own swap. If interested email me at amandamaedowney@gmail.com
The synopsis of the book: The Nightbird, the stuff of nightmares, walks through life dependent upon death. An assassin by trade, he is trained to be the deadliest person you will ever encounter... and the last.
Aidan, a young farm boy with an unknown magical secret locked in his soul, a gift of Sorcery that many wish to steal.
Both have been cast out of their families and society, can they save each other when they encounter a Royal Archmage who would destroy them both?
In the first chapter, the reader is introduced to both of these characters, but they don't meet each other. I would love to swap WIPs with someone and perhaps even chat over Discord or another platform on a regular basis about our stories and help each other finish them. I currently have 44k words and am working on expanding that number.
