What Should I Do As An Author?


I’m about to enter writing competition. It’s the third year I joined this. I know the chance I’m winning this competition is slim. But, that’s okay. I can handle that. Here’s the catch: the rules and regulations required the story to never be published and not to be entered for another competition. This is the part where I need your suggestion.
I think if my story doesn’t appeal to one type of group, I should be able to send it somewhere. At least after the result is out. But if I do that, I may breach R&R stated before. As an author, I believe there is a niche for my writing or maybe my luck is better elsewhere. But now, it’s do or die situation, what should I do?

Can You Help With Author And Title Of This Book?


About fifteen years ago I was working in London and one of my colleagues leant me a book to read. It was by an American author whose work had, at that time, only been published and distributed in the USA.
The central character narrated in first person similar in style to Raymond Chandler.
There was a scene where he was working in a seedy bar/café that stands out in my memory- he had to clean dirty Venetian blinds in a bath.
I’m pretty sure that they were published late C20th and were fairly niche.

Anyone Enrolled The Course From Steve Chou? The Author Of Blog Www.mywifequitherjob.com?


I was already convinced to join his course- but still want to get somemore proof, hence asking here. . some if his students are commenting in youtube or the names amd pictures are posted on his website . . Pls share your experience. Is it really worth to try or really useful course to start an online store? I want to sell women’s clothings, but Im worry what kind of niche he will suggest me. He’s in US and I was in Hong Kong- his course is really applicable?

Help Me With My Plot/title?


Hey guys, I’m a 14 year old from Canada. I enjoy writing books and fanfiction, making movies with my friends and family. I’m everywhere, I want to be in the nba, I want to be an author, I want to live my life to the fullest. By writing my first book, I need help with a few small parts, that is why I’m here. I honestly don’t want you guys to write my book for me, but I would love if you could give me pointers without the act of plagiarism. So, here’s the summary/plot of my book.
Connor Nite is a 16-year-old schoolboy who finds himself living under the roof to the house of his foster parents after the suspicious and untimely death of his father, Arthur Nite. Connor discovers his father was a spy agent working under the secrecy of SPA (Supernatural Protection Agency) on an important mission he couldn’t finish. Will Connor complete the heroic task his father had failed or end up the same way he did? Join Connor as he tracks down the bloody trail of his fathers assasin alongside the forces of SPA, where anything can happen.
So, I would love to know a few things:
– Is my spy organisation’s name fine, not too unrealistic/stupid?
– Is the plot creative/interesting? If not, what can I do to change it?
– Do you think the fact a 16 year old boy falling in to all this trouble is unrealistic, boring, etc?
– How can I make it so Connor finds out his dad’s a spy and unites with SPA to track down his murderer?
– What should the dad’s mission be? What’s the point in Connor killing the dad’s murderer? What did he do and how will he solve it?
– I’m a Canadian author, so should to setting of my novel take place somewhere in Canada? If so, where is the most common area for a spy and all this stuff take place?
– I don’t really want Connor, a 16 year old boy, to be killing people, I don’t want him to be a murderer YET, so how do you think I should go by this and have him get revenge but not reasonably kill his victim. I was thinking there would be non-armed killings, like a car chase or have someone else kill him, someone from SPA. If you know how I can get by this problem because it may be too graphic, do tell me!
Thanks guys, if you could answer this that would be greatly appreciated, I am sure I will take account everything you tell me, where it’s changing the whole novel because it’s too violent for a 16 year old. Anyways, thanks a lot, I promise I will give you credit somehow affiliated, and will remember you from time on. Thanks!
