Hey :)

Most of you probably know me from my blog Life of a Random but for those of you who don't:

Hi! My pen name is Skylar Finn...my real name is Selena. I'm a freshman in college, getting a degree in graphic design. My ultimate goal is to design book covers either freelance or full time. I made this group as a critique group for my book cover school project and for any other cover projects I might have in the future. Input is great and it's even better when it's coming from people who love and know books. :)

Random facts:
- I LOVE chocolate.
- Marvel is life.
- I'm short.
- I hate green peas. Don't feed me green peas.

Feel free to post intros in here too :) It's great meeting new people (as long as it's online ;)).

Hi!
I'm Oda(15)
I was searching for some group to join in because I'm Spanish and I wanted to practice english writing
I fund this group fun because I love drawing and I allways critique the cover of the books I read (the most of the time I choose the book I read because of the cover) so I think I might help you
and have a good time :3
(hope I havern't made any writingmistakes, feel free to correct me)

Kate Foley (themagicviolinist) | 7 comments Hi! :) I'm not sure how much use I'll be since I don't design book covers, but I'd be happy to give you feedback from a reader's point of view.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Kate/The Magic Violinist and I'll be fifteen in ten days (!!!). I'm an author, reader, blogger, fangirl, Potterhead, and SuperWhoLockian. I procrastinate my writing by reading fan-fiction and watching Netflix. Fandoms are life. :)

wow!
You're 15 like me? :0
By been an author you mean that you've published something? Or you do it as a hobbie?
Seems like everybody here is famous excepte me :')

Kate Foley (themagicviolinist) | 7 comments Ha ha, not quite, but yeah, soon. :)

I have been published, actually! I'm part of the FAUXPOCALYPSE anthology (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...), which is a collection of science-fiction stories about the end of the world that wasn't. And I was recently included in an anthology all about writing called THE AUDACITY TO BE A WRITER (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...).

I'm working on finding an agent for my own MG and YA novels, but so far no luck. I'll get there. ;)


message 6: by [deleted user] (new)

Wow! Amazing!!! I admire you
I love writing, too (and drawing I'm crazy for drawing and chocolat*-*)
But I haven't thought of publishing anything(alought my friends encourage me to do it)

I would like to read something from you...
Wow


message 7: by Kate (new)

Kate Foley (themagicviolinist) | 7 comments Aww, thank you. :) *blushes* You should totally pursue publishing if it's something you want! There are tons of resources online and people willing to help you.


message 8: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah thanks!
Anyway my real will is dedicats my whole life drawing(love doing manga too)
But yeah, I wanted to publishing something, is just that I see myself a little younger... (I haven't expected finding someone like you, who's been published with hardly 15)
And I don't know how people can take my stories(a little bit stranger, for fans of psicologic novels :'))
Hope someday I will have enough courage to do something :')


message 9: by Kate (new)

Kate Foley (themagicviolinist) | 7 comments Ooh, if you love drawing and want to be published, manga is a great option for you! My brother is obsessed. :) It's such a cool art form.

Evelyn (devours and digests words) (evixy_) Hi everyone. My name is Eve and I like warm hugs!

Haha. It's nice to know this group exist. I've always wanted to share my works and receive feedbacks. I will make sure I do the part here, too.

I started fooling around with Photoshop one and a half year ago. I'm still practicing and would like to get better ^^

I can't wait to get started here. Really looking forward to get to know you guys!

Oh and books are LIFE

How can you share images here?
I mean... If everybody starts pikin' their work... I would like to share my draws too
If you don't mind
(the ones from my profile photo are some of my draws, too^^)

Whoaaa. You guys have been busy while I was gone :D This is why I hate 3 hour classes. I miss everything ;)

Odalis:
Hi Oda! Your English is great. I've always wanted to learn a second language but I'm too lazy so kudos to you. :) I can't wait for your critique comments. (Kate's amazing isn't she? She's got drive that girl.)

I'll be making a new section soon for people who've gotten my permission to post art! You and Eve are totally welcome to post there when it's up :)

Kate:
KAAAATE. You came *claps* Hey, the reader point of view is just as important if not more. You're the ones buying after all ;) FIFTEEN. Woot woot \(^-^)/ Who doesn't procrastinate on Netflix. It's irresistible.

Eve:
Hi Eve :)) *imagine group chorus* (I love you because of that quote.) Books ARE life. I didn't think that many other people would want to share artwork on here but since you do I'll be making a new section soon for posting art. Hooray!

Note: And just a heads up for all the peoples wanting to post art-- I'm not assuming anything but make sure the art posted on here stays nice and clean <3

So if you want, you should try to learn another lenguatge
See, I'm from Catalonia, so i speak Catalan and Spanish (and english in school and by my own)
And now I'm trying to learn Japanese
In school are trying to teach us French and I would like to learn German(after Japanese)
So... I think you should TRY!
Maybe then you won't like it
But at least you'll have tryed
DON'T BE LAZY
