Hey, everyone. I am a full-time top-rated ghostwriter and editor on Upwork.

First-time writers are racked with insecurity, and it's usually gentle coaching from editors that allows them to find their truest voice (while adhering to clean writing standards).

Many writers on this sub-reddit are struggling.

I am offering free manuscript critiques. With my schedule, I can do around 5 right now.

If you want a free analysis to see if your manuscript is ready for readers, drop your book's premise below and we can connect.

See you.

(No poetry please; I am not a poet. And poetry jargon makes my head hurt.)

I want some tips on adding humour to the story through scenes, dialogues, etc. You can share some analysis too from any movie/book you've read or seen through.

I am curious. Which devices do you use to write your books? I used my Lenovo Ipad as my primary writing device. I, sometimes, use my phone for writing but I don't like it that much.

Sorry if the title sounds a bit melancholic but I am very shy and scared to post things in Reddit, I wrote this poem while free, this is the first unedited draft....plz honestly rate this and explain how to improve

Title (Not thought of anything yet)

The misty night grew long.

A flame was hardly burning.

Dimly lit, she was mourning

As two beasts fought along.

She mourned because the two she

Loved were fighting for her heart.

The flame called for a duel to pull them apart.

Whoever shall come the closest to me

Shall earn my hand, she found

That the two fighters were a moth and water.

The droplet went first and pierced through the sun's daughter.

At last, alive and safely, he embraced the ground.

The moth unnerved, had for a long time

Watched the great flame and

Plunged himself in his grand

sacrifice - "Even in death, I'll make her mine."

At the very border, he was reduced

To mere ashes, only for a moment did he

Embrace his periled lover, she

Cried as he had died for his muse.

The water called to her, asking

For his prize. She looked at him,

Her eyes, watery, and her light dim,

and turned away her head, masking

Her pain as the one who loved her truly, was dead.

I notice many people on the sub-reddit are in the grey about how self-publishing works.

I am a Top-Rated Non-Fiction Ghostwriter and Editor on Upwork. I've helped a few KDP business owners create successful books that are live on Amazon and making a hit with readers.

If you have any questions related to the process, whether how to go from idea to raw draft to final manuscript or about how the publishing process works, ask away.

Happy to lend my experience.

Other self-published authors are welcome to share their experience with the process in the comments.

I want to know what's the scope of writing in India. Also, as a beginner, where/how should I start. I like writing fictional stuff. I also have an outline idea that I want to expand into a novel.

Any writers or poets in bangalore

I am an aspiring writer trying to write a novel, I need an honest feedback and review on my idea and need some motivation to complete my manuscript.

I write mostly from my experiences and incorporate them in storyline to make it feel real, so I think if someone is interested to share an interesting ideas, I'll be grateful.

And yes when one day I publish I'll give you full credit of it too.
