Newbie Fantasy Authors Stand Up
TLDR: Newbie Authors. Drop your books. I'll pick one from Amazon (KU or <$5 to read and review). My fave is dark fantasy romance, but I love fantasy romance in general.
So, I was introduced to the fantasy romance genre through {A Surrogate for Alpha by Carolyn Above Story}. Even though she is not a newbie author that work reminded me of newbie books. Lots of typos, grammatical errors, changes in character names from one chapter to the next sentence, sentences that weren't completed, and paragraphs that were repeated. I still LOVED it!!!
There's something about the way newbie authors have amazing storylines, vocabulary I don't have to look up, novel themes, and wacky timelines that make me crave those kinds of books. I love my professionally edited books as well, but every now and then I crave something from the newbies. So, newbie authors stand up.
