One particular exercise that brought out their thoughts was to exchange letters between them and other characters about situations they were dealing with in their lives. My characters are basically friends and I’ve gotten to know them through knowing myself. What’s your process for creating fully fleshed out characters? I actually enjoy marketing, since I love talking about my characters. Correcting errors can be an extremely lengthy and expensive process, especially when using printers such as Ingram Spark. I actually find formatting sort of fun, but I hate having to wait for proofs and discovering I did something wrong. I still hired editors and artists, but I learned formatting and marketing by trial and error. You either have to pay for all the services yourself or learn the ways to do it yourself. Now I know most people think self-publishing is the easy way, but it isn’t, not if you’re willing to do it right. I knew that for the most part traditional publishing didn’t allow for that, so I went the hard way.
As an artist, I wanted to have full control over choosing a cover artist, include illustration, determine how many books would be in the series, allow for spin-off series, include some crossover references with fellow authors, and decide exactly what my story needed. From very early on, I knew I did not want my creativity to have limits. The reason why I enjoy self-publishing is the same reason I chose self-publishing. What is your favorite part, and your least favorite part of self-publishing? This vivid, violent, and wild fantasy builds off elements of Snow White, Snow White & Rose Red, and The Snow Queen, while creating a story all its own. Defining the difference between a character’s understanding and the actual truth. Providing chuckles and aww moments in a clean romance with just enough world-building, drama, and action to keep interest (these especially build throughout the series) is what made Tara Grayce go to the top of steampunk romance Amazon charts and stay there.Ī FAIR ACCOUNT OF THE TRAITORS SNOW WHITE AND ROSE RED by S.E Page It takes a practical, extroverted heroine with a big heart and sets her in a stuffy elvish world, and explores the hilarity, tension, and sensitivity of such a combination. Because while fae/elvish romance is completely overdone, this story fulfils a much needed hole in the genre. Honestly, I recommend this because it’s fun. The world-building is rich and steeped in history, the wit is sharp, and the characters have the soul of someone unique. But what is really amazing about this short story is how MUCH it packs in, setting the stage for a much larger series ahead. Is it written by my writing partner? Yes. If you could recommend three self-published books, which would you choose and why? Princess Bride Where Were We GIFfrom Princess Bride GIFs
