Author Profile:

I am a geeky, Christian, (former) homeschooler who loves reading and has recently started writing. Fantasy is my domain. Some of my favorite books and series are The Lord of the Rings (which should be read by every self-respecting fantasy fan), The Tales of Goldstone Wood (cannot recommend this enough), The Chronicles of Narnia (except for the Last Battle... Don't get me started on the Last Battle!), Peter Pan (this is my childhood), Pride and Prejudice, Princess Academy, Ella Enchanted, and most recently, Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere.

In addition to fantasy, I find writing and book review blogs extremely entertaining and love a good romantic subplot (or just plot) as much as the next girl.

My "book pet peeves" include stupid heroines ("Why aren't you dead?!?"), shallow villains ("What is your motive for this again?"), and the misuse of your/you're ("Make it stop, oh please make it stop!").

I swear I'm normal, but no one really believes me.

I'm currently writing the high fantasy novel, ~Magic's Minister~ which is hopefully the first in an ever-growing list of prequels, sequels, and spinoffs all set in the same world. It's honestly getting a bit ridiculous, I mean, do I really NEED to plan out 3-4 generations worth of characters each with all sorts of complex back stories? Because if this keeps up, I'm going to be writing about these people till I DIE and that's not even including the portal fantasy I want to write or the other high fantasy set in a different world.

But anyways, it's fine, I'm good, everything's good. Please check out my work if you get the chance! It would mean a lot to me. Have a nice day! Or night, depending on when you're reading this.

Current Update Schedule: Mondays.

Overall appearance

A lot of parenthesis.

Ella Enchanted! Hooray! A girl after my own heart.

Breakdown

Some of this seems like an overload of info and seems a bit like you're rambling in parts. I feel more like I'm on your Facebook than your writer profile. Tell us a bit about you and give us enough to help us connect to your writer side. 

Spelling and punctuation

Again, a lot of parenthesis.

Other than that, I don't see many mistakes. 

Likability

Peppy. You don't do anything that bothers me.

Final Grade and final thoughts

Take out a bit of the rambling and some of the parenthesis, maybe add a little bit of why you love to write, and you're good to go.

Cover (not above):

The only thing I can say at all is to raise the title a little higher so it doesn't disappear at all. Whatever it is, I like it. Attention grabbing. 

Blurb:

Feared by his enemies and tolerated by his allies, Sedgewick Alverdyne, the cynical Minister of Magic, was content with living an attachment-free life whilst striking fear into the hearts of witches, sorceresses,(erase comma) and wizards everywhere. But when a mysterious curse starts wrecking(wreaking) havoc on his powers, his stable existence is swiped (is this the right word? Wiped maybe? Or pulled?) out from under him.

Facing old and new enemies on one side, (erase comma) and his own department on the other, Sedgewick finds himself stranded with little magic and less help. With time of the essence, his reputation on the line, and no one but his meddling--yet surprisingly devoted--assistant for help, he's forced to confront one of the few challenges he isn't prepared for.

Because a mage without magic isn't a mage at all...

Overall appearence

I like seeing a male MC and it looks well worded.

Breakdown

Not terrible. You don't give too much away.

Spelling and punctuation

I've added some notes in, as I'm sure you've noticed. Also, you seem to him back and forth from past to present.

Likability

It isn't great, but it isn't terrible. It's looks good until you look close. A few tweaks would drastically help. The problems don't make it shit or anything. 

Final grade and final thoughts

First Chapter:

Overall appearence

I like the opening. 

You have a thing for dashes.

Breakdown

This is surprising endearing. 

You do a great job of separating the dialogue with character reaction.  You don't use much for dialog tags (which easily bug me when overdone). Not much for repetitive (except for sigh. Your character's sigh a bit too much).

Good length, cutting it before it feels drawn out.

Spelling and punctuation

Correct punctuation! Hooray!

Likability

Nothing is overdone. It's simple, elegant and has just the right amount of character development. I immediately feel like you know the characters.
