Introductions
Hii! I'm Ruqayyah- and along with my best friend and soul sister Dovey, the moderators of the group. Any problems, questions and anything in between- feel free to ask away- you can privately message me too.A bit about me:
Aspiring author (Evidently)- I used to make these little paper books, with one line on every page from a very young age.
Ardent reader (Also obvious)
Umm... I'm quite bad at this- check my profile out.
Oh and I can never pass the 'Are you a robot?' tests but I'm human- honest. And probably half fae too.
And I'm Dovey, you may call me Dove, Dovey, V, Vera, I'm really not picky (wow that was a lot of commas).I write pretty much the same genres I read. So fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction and dystopian mostly.
As for current works I can never focus on just one thing so I am writing several novels and series (yes, yes I am chaotic thank you for noticing)
I also may or may not edit my comments like way later (the 'last edited' thing is giving me away lol)
So anyway welcome to the group!
I'm Lilly. I write mystery, romance, and dystopian. I hope to be a successful writer and it'd be cool to talk to other young writers for advice. I'm not working on anything in particular rn. (I just write when I get inspo) If you want to talk about writing/ editing/ anything like that def message me!
Hello y'all thanku for inviting me, I am Rida and I write poetry atm but I have written romance, fantasy and crime when I was 14 or something.

Hey, I’m Jaedon (well actually that’s my middle name but shh), thanks for inviting me to this group! I write, like most of you, the genres I read. Typically mystery, romance (although I never write solely romance, it always has to have another plot in it), dystopian, and the current book I’m writing is like a weird mix between romance and historical fiction, AND mystery but it’s not entirely historical fiction…I’ll explain it in more detail if you want haha.My goal is to have this novel published before I turn 18!! I want to have my first draft finished by the end of this year☺️
Idk, a random fact about me is I live in Australia but I’m currently in the Uk for a few months :)

Cool! I live in the UK
Hellooooooo everyone! The name's Erin and thank you so much for the invite! I join this, introducing myself as a writer with commas around it . Mainly due to the fact that I have far too many ideas crammed into my head and are always in the stage of planning.
I usually enjoy reading fantasy and crime thrillers, with a pinch of historical fiction therefore most of my ideas are based upon them. My current work fixation is about a inventor and a geomancer bound together with fate as they meet a fallen god.
As well as books, I have ideas for plays as well but those are still on the fence of development.
For the random fact, I watch too many true crime documentaries and read about true crime far too much for my own good. 💀
See you around!

Hopefully we'll help you get the ideas penned down!
The documentaries may help with ideas!

Hii this is Allie. I like to read and write fantasy and sci-fi because they aren't in the real world, but I also like reading stuff that makes me cry. I'm the kind of person that doesn't get scared by horror books but does get scared by nothing at night. I'm working on an Alice in Wonderland based story... and boy is it hard.
Fun fact is I like to craft a lot and I make book covers!
Hi Allie, welcome! Alice in Wonderland is great, can’t wait to see some of your work!
OMG AN ALICE IN WONDERLAND STORY?! i love the concept of Alice of Wonderland! I can't wait to see it !

Hello loves, hope you're all doing well! My name is Shireen, and I just self-published my first novel, Card of Truth. It's about childhood friends reuniting on a senior trip. I believe this book is actually the first YA book that's set in my home country, Lebanon. Really excited to get to know you guys! <3
Hi welcome Shireen (I love your name!). Your book sounds amazing and that's so cool it's the first YA from your country!
The cover of your book looks really cool Shireen!
