tips for freelance writers + novelists

craft

Stop making these same manuscript mistakes. Before you send your manuscript to a developmental editor, make sure you're not making the same mistakes that drive editors crazy, from flat characters and wonky plots to sloppy dialogue tags and inconsistent pacing. By avoiding these 20 common pitfalls, you can take your writing to the next level, craft a compelling narrative that hooks readers from start to finish, and ultimately produce a manuscript that's polished, professional, and ready to shine. (Writers in the Storm)

New writers: ditch vague openings and prioritize context. Immediately establish the story's "who, what, and where," revealing character dynamics through concrete details and actions, not abstract summaries. A strong opening is a definitive first stroke, drawing readers irrevocably into a richly defined world. (sweater weather)

What goes up must come down. To elevate your storytelling, remember that every character choice has consequences. The key to crafting a compelling narrative is to heighten the stakes by introducing elements that escalate tension and drama, such as warnings, transgressions, and unexpected turns. By applying these principles, you can transform a straightforward tale into a complex and engaging story, where character choices have far-reaching and meaningful consequences that drive the plot forward and keep readers invested in the outcome. (Writer Unboxed)

“POV Disorder” is the chief culprit behind most writing blunders. Novelists must deeply inhabit their characters with consistent angles, empathy, and well-chosen vantage points. By leveraging “theory of mind,” physicality, and boundary-pushing experimentation in perspective, a solid POV elevates craft and terrifies those who fear fiction’s radical power to foster genuine empathy. (SubMakk)

No experience? No problem — if you’re willing to research. To write authentic procedurals, you don't need to be a lawyer, doctor, or cop, but you do need to be willing to put in the work to get the details right, from educating yourself on the basics of the profession to observing and engaging with the systems and people that drive the story. By following a five-step approach — educate, research, be curious, observe, and engage — you can create a procedural that rings true, with realistic dialogue, plot points, and scene setting that keep your readers hooked and invested in your characters and story. (Writers in the Storm)

Plot isn’t just beats to meet as you write. Fundamentally, “plot” poses a big unanswered question that emerges from the intersection of place, people, and problems. The key is to start with a setting you know intimately, develop characters through extensive sketching and backstory work, let their central problem emerge organically, and be willing to surprise yourself with the answer rather than plotting everything in advance. (Frump Feelings)

marketing


Reach millions of readers with a simple Reddit AMA. One author's Poe-themed AMA drew over a million views by focusing on the subject, not the author, tapping into a ready-made fandom. Center your AMA on your book's topic to reach a wider audience, position yourself as an expert, and generate long-term benefits beyond immediate sales, like podcast invites and stronger marketing material. (Poe Can Save Your Life)

The secret to a successful writing newsletter isn't about growth hacks or monetization. It's about consistency, genuine passion for your niche, and using the platform to enhance your broader artistic practice. By treating your newsletter as a tool to deepen your research, clarify your thoughts, and build a dedicated audience outside social media's chaos, you can create something valuable for both yourself and your readers while developing stronger writing habits.

publishing news + notes

Stop staying silent during the submissions process. The traditional publishing industry's unwritten rule of silence around the submission process (when agents shop your book to publishers) only keeps writers, especially marginalized ones, in the dark about industry practices and fair compensation. Breaking this culture of silence — which stems from white civility and upper-class gentility — is crucial for authors to better advocate for themselves, understand their worth, and help create more transparency around the realities of selling a book in today's market. (astrology for writers)
