600x800 is for Kindle use. My 600x800 maps did come out fine in the print version.

Thank you. The reason I asked is that one of the things I do at Mythic Scribes is to buy and review a book or two by our published authors. It might be a while before I get to yours.

You make writing a daily habit. Set aside a block of time for writing. In the old days, when I got stuck in the Muddy Middle, I'd take an old cooking timer, set it for an hour, nd do nothing but write until the bell rang, ignoring all plot, grammar, and character issues. You can fix a bad...

Hello! Are your books on Amazon? Titles? Links? That said, I write dark fantasy, with most of the books set in a tottering quasi-Roman Empire on another planet in the wake of the devastating Demon War. The characters struggle to forge new lives in a realm they no longer understand while...

Hello - The rule is to write at least a little every day, even when you don't feel like it, even when you think it is horrible. Often, resolutions and resolve will manifest after a few sentences.

'Qusi-Christians.' Monotheism without Christ. But they act a lot like the old Catholic Church. They have their own army, the poorly trained 'Livberators,' and issue their own currency. They do rule a few provinces outright, but take a back seat elsewhere. Their Grand Cathedral is built atop the...

The quasi-Roman Empire is monotheistic. However, there are a lot of Saints and Angels, some of whom wander in and out of the stories. Mostly, these are entirely spiritual beings who merge or occasionally possess voluntary hosts ('filled with the spirit'). The Church claims authority over all...

I used the old 2E AD&D 'Historical Earth' books as a base. Rome. Ancient Greece. Celts. Dark Ages. Vikings. Others. Mashed together to make a sort of warped (very) late-era Roman Empire. After a lot of back and forth, 'Magic' mostly became 'enhanced PSI,' genetically imbued into select humans...

Welcome! I suggest the Worldbuilding forum. Most of my books are set in a tottering quasi-Roman Empire-type nation on another planet. Have you published any books?

Maps: Size: 600 x 800 is what fits on a Kindle screen or a standard 5.5 x 8.5 book page. Use bold/thick marks and print. Thinner/fainter lines/text can go missing. Keep the font size readable. 11 point minimum. 12 or 14 point preferable. Use a font that people can actually read.

Okay...From 'Labyrinth War' - Ado-Cent’s lowest tier was an assault to the eyes, ears, and nostrils: Long columns of wains laden with bales and boxes piloted by cussing dwarves with braided beards and green-skinned goblins plowed through packs of drunken Ukandar who pissed and brawled in the...

welcome.

Not bad! A couple of my books hit the top 100 in Military Fantasy now and again, though they are usually in the 500-2000 range. 'Empire: The Complete Collection' is at 642, while 'Labyrinth War' is at 1750 (no promotion for most of a month).

Welcome!
