Thanks for reaching out.
I write as a freelancer for a company that publishes children's books. I started writing in 2021, out of need (personal story). I'm a mechanical writer. All learned.

Crazy story. I began with writing for online novels like Good Novel, Starry, and so on, but mostly rejected. Why? I was submitting anthologies, sci-fi, instead single stories expected to reach 120,000 to 150,000 words. I got a better deal shortly after.

Popular rejection statement - "Your stories are not our reader's cup of tea." I don't/can't write romance or love stories which is what most online novel agencies expect. Just mystery, horror, sci-fi.

Could you please point me to your website and share a few links to stories you have published online before?

I don’t have a personal website or public links, since the freelance work I do isn’t under my name. Hive is really the only place where I publish stories as myself.

Did you start writing for online novels and children's books in 2021? Sounds like this is for English publications, right? And which company did you write children's stories for now? What made you want to write here on Hive, and how do you manage your writing time between your freelance work and Hive? What inspires your stories, other than the writing prompt, of course? I'm interested in understanding your process as a writer 😊

I joined The Ink Well to share stories, not to be interrogated about my personal life or contracts. I’ve already explained my background, and I’m not obligated to disclose private companies I work with.
