I'm pleased to announce my participation in this year's April A-Z Challenge! Today's the day for the big reveal and I'm excited to post mine and hop around to see what everyone else will be getting up to. So, without further ado...
My theme will be "Black & White Snippets"!
While putting the finishing touches to my upcoming YA dystopian trilogy, Black & White, I thought it would be fun to introduce you to some of the characters, places and concepts that populate the world I've created. There won't be loads of details or spoilers - just short scenes and vignettes that hopefully build some intrigue. A fun bit of advance marketing, if you like. And they will be short - not more than 200 words per snippet, because I know there will be a whole host of other A-Z themes to check out.
I'm currently busy getting all my posts written and scheduled, and hopefully I'll be good to go for the 1st. Can't wait!
What do you think of my theme? Are you taking part in the Challenge this year?
Hi Nick - making the A-Z meaningful for your book make sense - looking forward to reading them ... cheers Hilary

Look forward to reading your snippets. Thanks for dropping by my post.
ReplyDeleteNick, thank you for stopping in to check out my A2Z Theme Reveal. Short and sweet posts are the best for this type of challenge. It can get overwhelming fast if every post is too long to enjoy. My theme is primarily visual and meant to inspire others to take up their hidden passions so hopefully, others won't feel an overload when visiting my site. I'll be looking for you on the A2Z path next month. Have fun and the best of luck to ya!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun way to do the A to Z challenge. Snippets are great tools to introduce a book and get to know characters.
ReplyDeleteGreat theme! It's always fun to see glimpses of a book like this. Looking forward to the snippets!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Challenge - and your book!
