Topic: The Results of the 2018 CIBA Awards Are In! (24 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Hi everyone,
The 2018 Chanticleer International Book Awards (CIBAs) have been announced. This year, there were fourteen fiction categories and two non-fiction.
The Kurdish Connection and Dangerous Alliance, both workshopped on TNBW, participated in the Global Thrillers genre. They moved from the slush pile, through the long list, the short list, and the semi-finals.
The Kurdish Connection finished its run as a semi-finalist, while Dangerous Alliance went a step further and was one of seven 2018 Global Thriller Book Awards for Lab Lit & High Stakes Thriller Novels First in Category Winners.
I can't thank those enough who provided reviews and guidance to aid my writing journey since I joined the site in 2015.
Needless to say, I'm thrilled!
Regards, Randall

Hi everyone.
I have been looking for a reputable, legitimate peer review site where I can help others with their writing and get much needed input from fellow writers on my work. I am working on a novel that I've been floating around in my mind for about 30 years. Now that I'm retired from "regular employment," I have been building my chops as a freelance writer (gotta pay the bills!) That has reignited my passion for writing; thus, a novel in the works.
I have posted the first chapter of my novel "Lady Silver: Warlock Chronicles, Book I" and will be posting the remainder when I can (gotta get those points!) I look forward to seeing your thoughts on it!
Welcome aboard, Bobbie! TNBW is a great place to be!

Just to let everyone know, I've changed the name of A Cartel's Revenge a bit, adding Bruce and Smith Book 1. I'm in the process of editing the original chapters based on your input. As of sending this out, current chapters 1-3 are revised. I'll be getting to 4-9 as fast as I can before posting any new chapters.

Re: Discussion of Randall Krzak's novel, Carnage in Singapore (2 replies, posted in Alpha to Omega - Review Group)
Carnage in Singapore has now been pulled from TNBW as I go through the manuscript making suggested changes. All being well, it'll be submitted to my publisher in early May. In the meantime, the fourth (and perhaps final) novel in the series, Ultimate Escalation, is now underway with three chapters posted so far.

jack the knife wrote:I just read the above article. It's essentially presented as a dichotomy - "indie" vs. "traditional" publishing. But it ignores a third category: independent medium-sized publishers. The article seems to be referring to large publishing houses who have publicity teams, pay for book tours, and pay advances when the contract is signed. The third category, with which I and a number of authors on TNBW are affiliated, do not offer those perks. They do the editing and cover art and support in ways I mentioned above. And they don't require an intermediary agent before even looking at your book. In fact, some forbid the use of agents. Just wanted to make clear that a third choice is available for those who don't want to do ALL the work by themselves and are willing to give up being in total control to have it.
"Independent medium-sized publishers". This is a very interesting approach. Like, which ones? Is it possible for we, little, unkown authors to access a database where, at least some them, are listed so we may contact them?
