Marrying The Vampire Prince (#1 of the Vampire Prince Series)

Snowqueencel takes us through the world of Nicole Jane Parker, a twelfth grader who longs to fill up the gaping hole in her heart, the emptiness in her life that stems from growing up in a rich home with parents who are constantly away and no friends to call her own. Things take an interesting turn for her when she gets transferred to the Clarkson Academy and she meets the Pureblood Prince of Vampires–Kyle Clarkson. The catch? She is destined to be his bride. 

Destined brides, vampire princes and fangs – this steamy mix is everything you didn’t know you needed!

His Caged Princess

A shielded princess. A dark, vengeful heir. A prophecy. The author, Moonlight Muse has us hooked in a world where light meets darkness and clashes. Will the heir who wants nothing but to get revenge on the royals for obliterating his clan and family save the princess from the shackles that have kept her bound all her life? Will she lead him to the light before it is too late? Will they fight together to protect the kingdom from the impending doom barreling their way or will all be lost?

What do we say to this? Yes or yes?

What Your Love Felt Like – The Dragon Saga

Yes! Dragons! A book that holds your heart till the very end. You flip through each page with bated breath, wondering what Frost has next for you. A snippet? Sure.

“She was just supposed to be a pawn in the game of thrones i played. A nanny for my son and perhaps, a little entertainment in my bedchamber as well. Why then did I have to risk it all for her sake? Why was I willing to take a second chance? She was just human, and I had not felt this way, not even for my dragon queen. Yet, my feelings intensify, even if I know deep in my heart that we are no match.”

The War King Rejected Bride

What is even more intriguing than a forced marriage? A forced alliance with a war god! Princess Letitia is given away to the most ruthless being, a king above all kings, Dharium, the king of Nytias. But it had not been her place to begin with. It was her sister he had desired, and they had shipped her off to him like she was irrelevant.

He was brutal, and she was kind. His life was filled with darkness and she was his only light. There couldn’t be a more opposite pair. However, like they say, Opposites Attract.

The Vampire’s Kiss

Stalker alert! Wilfred Bright has us craving a vampire stalker of our own in this intriguing page-turner. Let us paint you a picture: 

You wake up to love bites on your neck everyday. It doesn’t matter that the doors and windows are locked — he always finds his way into your house, gifting you nothing but love bites as souvenirs. 

You have a stalker, you soon realize. It leaves you in fear and discomfort, wondering who it could be every single day. A lover from your past or a stranger?

You find out soon enough. He is both. Your ex has returned, a complete stranger, and now he has a thing for blood and your neck, it seems. He’s a vampire.

The Vampire Brothers

A fan of the vampire diaries? Great! This one’s for you. The O’Connor brothers return to Arcadia after five hundred years of running and hiding. When their ripper brother returns and a Vampire Huntress learns of their unique family, she is left with two choices–work with them to defeat the Vampire King or slay them.

The Sultan’s Bride

Hold up. An Arab King? You heard right! To save her family and her empire from destruction, Princess Gulaab accepted the proposal of a twisted sultan. All she knew of him was the conspiracy against them and her belief that she was all that stood in the way of his plans drove her to utter those words to him. 

      “I do.”

Has she damned herself to a life of torture, hatred and brutality, or has she opened the doors to new possibilities in her life?

Check it out, you know you want to 🙂

Twisting Destiny

Transmigration at its best! After dying in a tragic accident, Rhianne finds herself in a novel world as a character, however, she soon realizes that once again, fate is not on her side. To avoid her tragic ending in the novel, Rhianne decides to change her path completely, taking different steps from what the novel has set out for her.

But the story has been written, and the novel must pan out the way it is supposed to.

Rhiane must rewrite her story if she wishes to live. She must not fall in love again.

The Search For Freedom

A man and a woman assigned to different missions–murder every evildoer that exists on the planet. When Lil and Kaila meet, they hide the secrets of what they really are from each other, choosing instead to feign innocence than admit to the other that they are assassins.

When their curse has them placing their knives at each other’s throats, they must decide if they will run from it or kill each other.

A fresh narrative, a different world that you just might fall in love with.

Three Realms

After she is left for death in a lifeless realm, Xena sets out to take revenge on her tormentor, Xavier. With the help of Levi, her savior, she grows stronger and better, enough to challenge Xavier to a duel, a fight to the death.

At the last minute, with Xavier about to finish Xena off, Levi steps in, sacrificing his life for Xena’s. The rage has Xena discovering powers she never knew existed, and when she raises Levi from the dead, she finds that she might have awakened things that had better been left asleep.

If you’ve ever dreamt of finding success in the YA/Teen fiction realm, then this blog post is perfect for you. Within this article, we will delve into the crucial tips for achieving success, which include the importance of high-quality writing, understanding your target audience, and implementing effective marketing strategies. Here, you will discover eight invaluable tips to help you reach your goals in the YA/Teen genre.

1. Read Widely in the Genre and Write Down Important Moments

Familiarize yourself with the popular works in the YA/Teen genre. Read both contemporary and classic novels to understand the themes, writing styles, and character development that resonate with young readers.

By analyzing successful stories, you can learn what makes a book popular and try to incorporate some of those elements into your own work. Additionally, taking note of moments can help you identify trends in popular fiction, which you can then use to inform your own writing. Furthermore, it can simply be inspiring for you to read popular books and take note of the moments that you found particularly impactful.

2. Craft Gripping Plots

Develop a plot that is engaging, fast-paced, and has a strong hook/cliffhangers. YA/Teen readers want stories that captivate their attention from the start and keep them eager to turn the pages.

Remember, the first chapter is really important, as it’s often what hooks a reader into continuing with the book. A gripping beginning chapter should introduce the main character, establish the conflict or problem, and give the reader a sense of the world and tone of the story. It should also leave the reader wanting more! A great first chapter can make or break a book, so it’s important to get it right.

3. Stay Current with Trends

Stay informed about the trends and emerging topics in the YA/Teen genre. Keep up with popular books, movies, and TV shows that appeal to your target audience. This will help you stay relevant and connect with your readers on a deeper level.

4. Focus On The Develop Of Your Plot

Never write to fill in words to meet a specific word count goal. Use appropriate language, tone, and dialogue, and avoid too much description, repetition, or unnecessary writing, as each chapter should be meaningful, engaging, and worth reading.

It’s important for you to focus on quality over quantity, and to only include words that add value to the story.

5. Craft Relatable and Authentic Characters

YA/Teen readers are drawn to characters they can identify with, characters who face relatable challenges and experiences. Develop diverse characters with authentic voices, struggles, and emotions. Capture the essence of the teenage experience, including themes of self-discovery, identity, relationships, and coming-of-age. By creating characters that resonate with readers, you establish a connection and increase the likelihood of capturing their attention and loyalty.

6. Engage with the YA/Teen Community

Active participation in the YA/Teen writing community is essential for exposure and building connections. Connect with fellow authors, bloggers, reviewers, and readers through social media platforms, online forums, and writing communities. Attend YA/Teen writing conferences, workshops, and book festivals to network, share experiences, and learn from industry professionals. Seek out critique partners or beta readers to receive valuable feedback on your work and improve your craft.

7. Balance Familiarity and Originality

While it’s important to incorporate elements that appeal to the YA/Teen audience, such as relatable themes and compelling characters, it is equally crucial to offer a fresh and unique perspective. Find a balance between maintaining familiarity and introducing innovative ideas, settings, or twists that set your work apart. Strive to bring a fresh voice and perspective to the genre, pushing the boundaries while staying true to the core themes and characteristics of YA/Teen literature.

8. Develop a Strong Author Brand

Creating a strong and consistent author brand is crucial for success in any genre. Develop a unique author persona and establish a recognizable online presence through a professional website and active engagement on social media platforms. Utilize your online presence to showcase your writing journey, connect with readers and industry professionals, and promote your work. Consistency and authenticity are key to building a loyal readership.

Remember, success in the YA/Teen genre may take time and perseverance. Focus on honing your craft, understanding your audience, and building a strong author platform. Keep writing, revising, and connecting with readers, and your chances of success in the YA/Teen genre will increase.

We are constantly increasing our readership base and creating new logics and sections to let the novels of different genres, sizes, etc. shine bright and attract the readers. However, the spots are limited, so all the novels couldn’t be promoted at the same time.

Also, the readers have their preferences, so some tropes would be extremely popular on the platform, and others would receive less attention, which could be a frustrating thing. As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting our authors, we are expanding the number of slots available for promotional opportunities! 

We are delighted to introduce two new sections on AlphaNovel — Popular Author and New Authors. These dedicated sections are designed to highlight the exceptional talent of our authors and provide more promotional spots for you. 

✨ Popular Author Section:

This section is exclusively dedicated to showcasing our esteemed authors ambassadors. It serves as a celebration of your outstanding contributions and provides readers with easy access to your exceptional novels.

🆕 New Authors Section:

We understand the importance of supporting emerging talent and fostering an environment of growth. Our New Authors section is specifically curated to showcase the works of talented writers who have recently joined AlphaNovel.

This means more novels will have the spot and a chance to shine. We value your feedback and strive to provide you with a seamless and effective experience😊

Make sure that your author’s profile is updated with the relevant info and the avatar, so the readers would have a chance to get acquainted with you and your fabulous works!

Good day, esteemed community! We are delighted to share more detailed information regarding our Bonuses update. Brace yourselves for an enhanced rewards program that will take your writing journey to new heights, effective from July 1st, 2023, at 12 am UTC.

📌Important Note: All updated bonuses will be effective for applications submitted after 12 am UTC on July 1st. All previously signed books remain with the previous Bonus Plan that is stated in their agreement.

We believe that author’s work should be rewarded, so we offer a fair royalty share: 50% of the Net Royalty for Non-Exclusive books and 60% for Exclusive books (we also have a Gross royalty model with 10% and 15% share respectively). AlphaNovel also has its bonus system as an additional benefit for the authors who reach some milestones. Below you could find a detailed description of all bonuses and their criteria ⬇️

*All bonuses, except the Monthly Attendance Bonus apply for both English and Spanish novels

First Release Bonus

First Release Bonus is a reward for the authors who put their work on the platform under the Non-Exclusive agreement. This Bonus could be claimed only for 1 book that:

• is signed under Non-Exclusive contract;
• contains 50k+ words;
• has earned 50% of the bonus (50$) in royalties;

This is a new type of the bonus, so if the author has a couple of books on the platform that were signed under the old bonus plan and has claimed old Non-Exclusive Signing bonus on them, the writer still could be eligible for First Release Bonus with the books applied after July 1st 2023.

Exclusive Signing Bonus

Exclusive Signing Bonus could be claimed for all author’s Exclusive books that contain 50k+ words and have earned 75$ in royalties.

• signed under the Exclusive agreement;
• marked as “Complete”;
• contains 100k+ words;
• has earned the threshold in royalties;

Monthly Attendance Bonus

Monthly Attendance Bonus is a reward for the authors who consistently update their MAB Exclusive novels during the month. This bonus does not have a threshold that the author should earn in royalties as it has its own criteria. To get the Monthly Attendance Bonus author should:

• apply for MAB Exclusive Contract and get approved;
• update 2000 words daily within 25+ days in a month;

This bonus is available only for one book at a time and could be claimed for 3 months after signing and meeting the criteria.

**Only novels written in English could apply for MAB contract

Outstanding Bonus

Here are some calculations on how much the Exclusive novel could earn on AlphaNovel if it is a fit for the audience 😊 💸

We believe this update will serve as a powerful motivator, encouraging all authors to create masterpieces and achieve their writing goals 💪🏻

Happy writing!

As writers, one of the most crucial decisions we face is determining the genre that best suits our creative vision. It’s a journey that involves self-discovery, exploration, and a deep understanding of our own writing inclinations. In this blog post, we will embark on an enlightening quest to help you find your genre, that magical realm where your storytelling prowess thrives!

1. Embrace Your Reading Preferences

Reflect on the genres you naturally gravitate towards as a reader. Consider the books that have captivated your attention and resonated with you emotionally. These preferences can offer valuable clues about the genres that might align with your writing style and interests.

2. Research or explore AlphaNovel’s Genres

Take a closer look at the genres available on AlphaNovel and read through some of the most popular books in each genre. This will give you a better sense of what each genre entails and the types of stories that readers are looking for.

3. Experiment Other Genres

Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and explore genres you haven’t yet delved into. Give yourself the freedom to experiment with different storytelling styles, themes, and settings. This exploration can help you discover unexpected passions and stretch your creative boundaries.

4. Identify Your Writing Strengths

Consider your strengths as a writer. Are you good at creating complex worlds and fantastical creatures? Or do you excel at writing emotional, character-driven stories? Identifying your strengths can help you find the genres that allow you to showcase your skills.

5. Research Reader Demographics

Each genre tends to have its own target audience. Research the demographics of readers in different genres to see which ones might be a good fit for you. For example, if you enjoy writing stories with young adult protagonists, the YA/Teen genre might be a good fit.

6. Trust Your Instincts and Don’t Be Afraid to Blend Genres

Listen to your intuition and trust in your creativity. Don’t feel like you have to stick to a single genre. Many successful authors blend genres or write cross-genre stories. If you enjoy both romance and paranormal stories, consider writing a paranormal romance. The possibilities are endless.

7. Consider Your Writing Goals

Your writing goals can also play a role in determining your genre. If your goal is to write a bestselling novel, for example, you might want to consider genres that are more likely to sell well. If you’re more interested in writing for personal satisfaction, on the other hand, you might focus on genres that you find most fulfilling. Feel free to check our guide, which will help you to set up your own goals 😊

8. Seek Feedback

Share your writing with trusted beta readers, writing groups, or online communities. Collect feedback on different genres you’ve explored to gain insights into which ones resonate with readers and evoke strong responses. Embrace growth and allow yourself the flexibility to adapt and explore different genres throughout your career.

9. Follow Your Passion

Ultimately, the most important factor in choosing a genre is to follow your passion. Write the stories that excite and inspire you, and don’t worry too much about whether they fit neatly into a particular genre. Passion and enthusiasm for your subject matter will shine through in your writing and make your stories more engaging for readers.

As we celebrate the journey of finding your perfect genre, we are thrilled to announce exciting additions to our app that further enhance diversification and broaden the storytelling landscape. We have recently introduced new genres, including LGBTQ+, CEO/Billionaire, and Werewolves, providing even more opportunities for writers and readers to delve into captivating narratives.

We invite you to explore these new genres, discover fresh narratives, and unleash your creativity within these vibrant literary realms.

Thank you for being a part of our community, and we look forward to witnessing the incredible stories that emerge from these new horizons. Happy writing, and may your literary adventures be filled with boundless imagination and boundless success.
