While affording it is still a question, I'm struggling to decide if I should pick a male or female narrator. I don't listen to audiobooks at all so I just am not sure.

My book is third person omnipresent so I feel like there's more of an option. It rotates pretty evenly between male and female leaning perspectives.

I guess a part of me is afraid that the MMC "deep voice" being narrated by a female will sound really cringe but apparently women are more likely to narrate in this genre?

Im working on my book, and its the pov of 3 different women that work in a brothel. My 5th chapter is where I have some sort of action about to place. Im afraid of people losing interest before that point, but my first 4 chapters are to really introduce the 3 women from their POVs.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry... but I think I decided my book needs to be in first person.

This epiphany occurred to me 128,979 words later.

Please feel free to laugh or cry with me. Or both.

Which do you write in, and why?

Hi everyone! New to the sub, kinda new to reddit in general. I noticed while scrolling there’s a few older threads about writing groups and discords, but I figured I’d try my hand at making a newer one for those looking for a fresh group/environment to share their work!

As for an introduction, I’m 22F writing a political/romance high-fantasy focused around large-scale magic, dragons, politics, all the fun things hehe. My main romance is a sort of friends-to-lovers with LOTS of yearning. I have a finished manuscript that I’ve been itching for feedback on!

I recently found myself with quite a bit of spare time, I love beta/alpha reading and I loveeee connecting with people over their passion projects. I usually connect with people on other platforms, but I figured I’d give Reddit a try :) if you’re looking for a critique group, yap sessions, semi-regular virtual meetings, etc etc, let me know and maybe I’ll make up a discord server!

New author here! I am writing my debut romantasy trilogy and I have been trying to figure out how I should "advertise" it. It's a forgotten memory, second chance type romance but the tricky part is with the "red herring" romance. This one is dark, and filled with trauma but it's not the true romance of the series. It is however, the main romance in the first book. The true romance has hardships and betrayals but no where near what I would consider a dark romance. But of course I don't want readers to know that right off the bat.

I don't want to give too much away so hopefully this is enough to have an opinion on... would it be deceiving to say it's a dark romance? I don't want to catch readers off guard with some of the darker elements.

When writing RH, how do you go about outlining four different relationships? I’m using the hero’s journey structure to outline my story plot, but wasn’t sure how best to outline each of the MMCs and how the relationship progresses with the FMC and each other. Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

Hello

I’m still very new to writing, so please bear with me.

I’d like to ask for your advice on how to write a ménage à trois where all three characters are in romantic relationships, so not an ‘equiangular triangle’ but an ‘equilateral’ one?
In my draft, the situation is that the man, a nobleman, has to marry a second wife for political reasons, and over time the two women become increasingly close (the relationship was never cold, and the ‘primary’ wife is rational about why her husband has a ‘mistress’, even though she was not thrilled about it.)
From my point of view, my story isn’t really a romance novel, but I’d still like to make the relationships easy to understand.

I’ve tried searching for similar topics, but I get the impression I’m in an unusual situation.

Oh, and it’s set in a fantasy/pseudo-historical world, so I thought I’d ask here (yes, I know that fact has hardly anything to do with my question, but you never know.)

Yours sincerely,

A Newbie
