2k words is definitely ok for a chapter if shorter chapters are what you want! I’ve written some chapters that were under 2k words.
The main thing to focus on is whether you’ve accomplished enough in each chapter to justify ending it there.

Evangelise wrote: "2k will be a longer chapter. For short chapters I do 1k-1.5k"

I think it depends on what style you’re going for, or what audience you’re writing for. 2k might be a longer chapter in a middle grade book, but it’s definitely not in adult fiction. 🤷‍♀️

No, that's good. I've looked it up before, and apparently a five-page chapter is like 1,500 words, so it's def not too little. I personally write short chapters too.

2k is pretty good. You could even go shorter than that if you wanted. Really, chapter length is up to you :)

The Falcon Princess
A Pretty Game
Ayra of Darkwater Quarry

Hi everyone! Happy to be here. My name is Jill, and I write YA fantasy with the hope of spreading light. I have published three standalone books. The Falcon Princess is an empowering fairytale reimagining of The Swan Princess. A Pretty Game is for readers like me who love Jane Austen and like a fun, imaginative spin on a story. Ayra of Darkwater Quarry follows the adventures of a young girl seeking to know her family's past while discovering her own gift.

Here's my debut: The Tale of Tiernan, published on May 28. It's a NA fantasy (relatively clean, no spice or language, some violence). There are *some* Biblical allusions, but I made it a point not to include religion in the book for various reasons (namely, I was uncomfortable inventing a faith as mine is too important to me, but I also felt transplanting Christianity onto a new world was inappropriate).

Available in ebook, hardcover, and paperback.
Goodreads: HERE

Also available wide via other platforms (Apple, Kobo, Nook, etc) for now. OH! It's on Hoopla if you have access to that.

Thank you :)

Hi everyone. I'm M. E. Reach and I love to write YA Fantasy Adventure. Here is my most recent book, Virren.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I'm excited to get connected with the group. Here's a link to my website for more info about me.

Virren looks very cool!

I guess if it's okay, I'll share my three books that I have published so far.

Here is my first/Debut Novel Tales From Stone Creek: The Tales Begin: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Then an art book called Tales From Stone Creek Artbook: Characters: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Finally my third book, a picture book in honor of Father's Day and in honor of my late father. The book is called: Thank You Daddy: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...



Stone Creek is my main series I'm working on, though. As I speak I'm working on the next novel as well as making an artbook retelling of the above novel, and a coloring book for kids. It also features some fantasy elements in a few ways that I won't spoil if anyone is interested.

It's a series meant for all ages, completely clean and faith filled. There is violence, but only mild at best. The story focuses on animal characters in a fictional world. In this world at a unknown point in history, animals gained free will, human intellect and sentience, the ability to speak, and human aging. This changed society as we know it, causing a different, yet familiar world to ours. Witness the story of three groups/families that live in the same remote town and see how their lives effect each other and those around them.

Of course it’s ok! Thanks for sharing 😊

Hey All,

I'd like to post up my book.

The Eye of Ebon

The Eye of Ebon

This book begins the journey of a girl from Norvaine who must become the champion of the Four lands. But she wields the White Sword, and to be its bearer carries a great cost.

Can she be the one to overcome? or will the Shadow destroy all that she loves?

Find out in The Eye of Ebon!



Seems Goodreads does not want me to link to outside stuff.

If you would like to see the trailer or a trope map, it can be found on my website.

Funny...after rejecting my links, it took that one without question...

Thanks Damon

My books The Enchanted Grove and Cross Purposes are adventure/fantasy stories for children aged 9-12, though adults have enjoyed them too. The first takes place in southern Africa, and the second in Central Asia.

They are in mainly rural settings, but my current WIP is an attempt at urban fantasy, which I've found is more difficult.

Hello! I have written a fantasy romance which is releasing on the 11th of March! I'd love for any of you to check it out :)

I'd appreciate any support The Law of the Elementari

Hey Vera! I was looking through some of the reviews, and someone said there were a couple of spice scenes? How far does that go and what age would you recommend for?

Treasures of the Lochs
This is suspenseful YA Christian fiction, involving a modern-day treasure hunt in Scotland, with a bit of supernatural thrown in. Blending historical fact and Scottish legend within an action-packed adventure, Treasures of the Lochs is a powerful story of faith, friendship, and redemption. The target audience is teenage and above (some parts would be too intense for younger readers). This book is a 2024 NIEA Finalist in Religion Fiction. It also hit Amazon#1 New Release for Christian Fantasy. I hope you’ll check it out.

Hey! I'm a Christian author and thinking of starting a publishing company aimed at publishing thoughtful Christian fantasy do you feel like there's any difficulty finding good Christian fantasy literature right now and if so what types of books would you like to see?

Hi! I think it’s easy to find Christian books on Goodreads but no so much as in person bookstores. I know some popular authors like Nadine brandes have books in Barnes and noble locations near me but they don’t feature lesser known Christian authors

I feel like I would like to see more Christian romantsy, or Christian epic fantasies! I feel like the Christian genre focuses on historical fiction and plain romance but again, I haven’t explored the genre widely

I love Christian fantasy, but it can be hard to find good quality books in that genre. I feel like there are more publishers focusing on it now, though, so that is nice.

I love Christian fantasy with well-developed characters and poignant redemption arcs where Christ is presented well and biblically even if in fantasy terms. Epic stories are definitely a plus!

Hi friends, I’m Randal, a Christian fantasy author and lifelong fan of Narnia Prydain. I’m working on the sequel to my novel Fables of Laknohl: The King and the Shadow Lord, and I’d love to invite a few passionate readers to help as beta readers.

The story wrestles with themes of light vs. shadow, identity, and the consequences of choices—for good or for evil. If you enjoy Christian fantasy that isn’t afraid to go a little darker while still holding to the light, this may be your cup of tea.

I’ll send a free ARC of both the first and second books. If interested, fill out the survey at the bottom of this newsletter.
