Where Writers Thrive and Stories Soar

Novels are rough. Tough. They require diligence and creativity and abandon and discipline. They like to disobey the best of planning, fly off into their own spheres. If you're in the midsts of writing one, you know what I mean.

 

The best advice I can give is to hang on for the ride and finish the work. Without the words, there's nothing really to shape and edit.

 

But it's easy to give up. The premise doesn't sit right. The middle is a morass and swamp. The end is nowhere in sight. The character's goals are muddy, too small, too big. The day job is overwhelming. You think of packing it in. You're alone with the writing, and no one cares if you finish or not.

 

But still the novel is there waiting. You think of it. All. The. Time. You know the story matters. And you're the one to tell it.

 

That's where Novelitics comes in.  

 

Hi. I'm Kim Taylor Blakemore and I have written and published both traditionally and indie, experiencing the joys and stresses of publishing with big houses. I understand the process from a novel's beginnings through the drafting the full manuscript, to researching agents and working with editors and marketing teams.

 

My goal is to help you write your best novel and get it out in the world.
