Keith Stevenson: January 2015
http://keithstevensonwriter.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 8, 2015. Horizon: the real life PALs. Each of the stellarnauts have their own PAL, a ball-shaped personal assistant that hovers in the zero G environment using small fans and allows the stellarnauts to talk to each other via video and audio link as well as acting as a recorder. It's a cool concept and, like pretty much everything in the novel, it's based on actual scientific development. Thursday, January 1, 2015. Certainly for me the key piece of work will be honing the second draft of...

Here's a rundown of the blog tour dates and sites and I'd like to say a hearty thank you. 3 November - Voyager Blog. So the list made m...

What’s in a copy edit? |
https://traceyhamill.com/2015/04/04/whats-in-a-copy-edit
Something about me…. What’s in a copy edit? April 4, 2015. Baby, It’s You. Came back from the copy editor the other day. Rather than go to someone new for my copy edit, I chose to stay with the lovely Nicola from ebookedit. There might be cheaper copy editors around, but I really wanted to work with someone I was comfortable working with, who “got” what I was trying to do- and that, to me, was so much more valuable than saving a few dollars. Because Nicola had done my structural edit. It’s a detail...

Wednesday, April 29, 2015. The Lenticular Series - how long should each part be? One of the things writers often ask me is ‘how long should my novel be? 8217; I don’t think it’s helpful to think about that in the early drafting stage, for fear of bending the story out of shape in order to fit some preordained word count. The story is as long as it needs to be. That’s my mantra in early drafting. But it’s time to start thinking about that now. In the meantime, I’m having fun developing my third poin...

Keith Stevenson: July 2014
http://keithstevensonwriter.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Particularly in young adult speculative fiction, there's a current trend to represent dystopias. And it's a valid reaction when we look at our world today. One of the primary functions of science fiction is to interrogate the present and show us the potential outcomes of what we see out of our window. That's certainly true for the worldbuilding I did in Horizon. The environment is protected. Getting there: Governments, business and social groups put short-term gains and competitio...
