Hello! I'm a new author here and have only dabbled in short stories for my own personal fun. I'd like to try something new though and thought that creating a book with the help of its readers would be kinda fun. if you have any constructive ideas/helpful tips I'm more than willing to listen. On order to participate in this BBWM all you need to do is vote on your favorite choices in the following categories. yes you can vote for more than one choice but keep in mind some options will block out other options (like in the geography section). There will be a phase two to make a few final decisions after the voting has ended on this first section. Please enjoy and remember I'm new to this so please be kind. I'm very sensitive. Thank you for the support and I hope to create am incredible world with you all!
