    Non English Writers Beware

    From what I have read and seen: The data about the non-native detection being much higher than native is true. This is likely because of a much higher usage of software such as Grammarly, pro writing aid, and other grammar and spell checkers. Why is this relevant? Because these are powered by...

    Non English Writers Beware

    Love it when both sides manipulate their study's data to generate outrage and controversy.

    Do you pull your stories to publish on Amazon?

    Self pub won't give you the 20-40k USD advance though. And some aren't going to be comfortable handling the marketing nor the expenses of hiring an editor and cover artist.

    Do you pull your stories to publish on Amazon?

    I think you're thinking of tradpub. That's not for LitRPG, Isekai, Xianxia, etc. At least not yet. Also tradpub really sucks, royalties are horrible, etc. I'm talking about Aethon/Podium/Timeless Wind/Mountaindale/Wraithmark/Tantor/Royalguard, etc. All these publishers will put your book on...

    Do you pull your stories to publish on Amazon?

    Your publisher is going to require you go on KU if you write in a KU genre though, so some authors aren't going to have a choice.

    Do you pull your stories to publish on Amazon?

    It doesn't matter if it is 'alright' with readers. Some will be salty and you'll get backlash, but if you want to make a living from your writing instead of it being a game/hobby, you need to monetize, and the audience/income on amazon can be much larger. You're looking at 5-6 figures for...

    AI, what is it good for?

    I've seen a growing number of people posting unedited GPT-4 generated stuff on Scribble Hub. I am not sure if they realize how easy it is to spot the AI's voice, or if they think the (not)effort is really actually pleasing.

    My writing process which allows me to churn out a chapter a day. Share yours!

    1) Know what I am writing before I start writing 2) Write it 3) Profit! Can skip 1 and 3, but then 2 takes a long time. 1) is usually done via drafting a very barebones beat plot of events, but I have to be careful because if I detail things or lock things in too much then I will choke myself...

    Legality?

    Its really no wonder people aren't having as many babies in certain countries as before, society is fucked up beyond recognition and its dangerous to interact with other humans in general.

    How can I get my novel back on trending

    If you don't like the word 'shadowban' then you can replace it with 'algorithm banned' or 'algorithm killed' or whatever suits your fancy. There is an exponential decrease in your ability to reach those ranks as you approach the arbitrary cutoff. That's a shadow ban in my book.

    How can I get my novel back on trending

    Once you hit a certain number of followers you're shadow banned from hitting the front page trending. Almost all discoverability after your first few thousand followers is from tag rankings and being on lists. So the site's discoverability is skewed toward new stories and stories with popular...

    Writing How far can I stretch the "Age of Consent" in Scribblehub?

    The rules are very clear on the Age of Consent and specifically specifies the age near the beginning. Age of Consent - The age of consent is 18+. This is referring to the real age of the character. Any sexual content between characters must abide by this age of consent. Please take some time...

    Ooh, they said I'm talented...

    Their contract assigns them your copyright, forever. If you don't produce, they walk away with your IP. Its extremely bad and predatory as others here have already stated. (I just want to repeat it so its hammered in and hopefully new authors see it and don't get taken advantage of.) Even...

    How does your first draft looks like?

    Anyone who writes 'makes a draft' because a draft is just a version of the writing. So when you create something, the first version is your first draft. Whether that goes through further refinement (second draft, third draft, etc) or becomes the final is up to the author.

    How does your first draft looks like?

    For me, it just felt like a wall. I stared at the text for literally hours some days reading the first chapter and just... drawing a useless blank. I got full of frustration because of that and every time I'd go to try and get started again my mind would wander and I'd end up wasting a lot of...

    How does your first draft looks like?

    My first drafts are usually quite readable. As someone pointed out to me, I learned to 'write' while doing roleplay. That included forum post-by-post roleplays, discord roleplays, etc. Usually one-on-one, multiple posts back and forth per day. Everyday for many years. With many different people...
