0 akaslickster Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Fix spelling first thing! First impression is everything. OBVIOUSLY, PROLOGUE. Also, seek out book clubs or other places where you can leave links to the site. Get noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Thanks!!! You have to keep adding to the page, to get viewers interested and keep them coming back for more. So prehaps every month or so add information about a new character, or a sneak peak at a "interesting" section of the book ( which makes sense without any background knowlegde). Start describing the world, maps, citys, all without giving too much away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TwoaDay Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 yea make sure you keep updating, to keep people coming back, also, set dates for big events like the prolouge or sneak peaks and put them on the site. also i like the maps or a description of the setting idea. btw i love the cover pic thingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TwoaDay Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 ok heres the rest of my critique, 1. fix the about the authors page, now. make the link right, fix spelling and make the bio's as well written as the book, i really wasnt impressed with that part, 2.whats up with that insert sub-header here thing ? 3. general polish and mabey some diversity between pages. 4.make the guestbook on the site, not on a link 5. those spoilers are a little iffy, you may just not want them at all 6. i got the feeling the authors were young, but 12 and 13, thats impressive! 7. i have the site in my quick links bar so im going to go back to it, im actually really interested. 8. overall i think its very good, mabey you should check out some other authors sites to get ideas to make yours more proffessional. i hope my comments helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mekal Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 It was pretty good... You might want to get her to put a little more in about the book... I didn't quite get how the City work into it... I'm actually writing a book... I posted an excerpt from it on The Theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Nice cover picture. Way too many popups and ads. I guess you need that to get it hosted for free but it's so annoying. If you ever want to advertise it seriously I'd stump up the cash and move it somewhere nicer. Web hosting isn't that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 peace*out Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 ok. i'll try to fix that, but it may take a bit. 1) to convince my parents to give up their credit card # for some$$ going through them (i dont think freeservers.com takes paypal!!)
