Edelweiss Trip & Adventure

21/08/2024

Good morning!
I have 14 unread emails and 5 responses on my latest form today!

I’m about to start answering them thoroughly.

After creating the "Perfect Guidebook Vol.1" and the interview form before submission, my workload has decreased because my authors now provide exactly what I need: the premise and main outline of the story.

Ever wonder why your stories get rejected even though you consider yourself a good writer?

❌ You didn’t align with their preferred subgenre and tropes.
❌ Your grammar and punctuation were off.
❌ You didn’t highlight the uniqueness or core struggle of your main character.

Writing an outline before diving into the story is crucial. That’s why I gave you the form—to clarify everything upfront.

If you can't articulate your ideas on the form, don’t bother submitting your story. You'll just waste your time because the Senior Editor will reject it, and you’ll end up complaining about how “mean” they are.

Be a mature writer.
Take responsibility for your own career.
If you keep blaming others, maybe it’s time to take a break and don't pursue your writing career. You know it's hard, but it's worth it!

Remember ....

I’ve spent hours creating THAT guidebook and thinking about how to maximize your potential while giving you tips on surviving in this industry.

If it feels like I’m being tough, it’s because I want to work with writers who are ready to put in the hard work and push through challenges.

Don’t be lazy!

Remember, I love you.
I love reading your stories, and I want to see you grow and create that masterpiece. 🧡💛💚💙

Here’s a sneak peek of this exclusive guidebook!

Who’s excited?

Yes, I’m admitting it—I’ve been sidetracked by Facebook instead of focusing on creating this e-book.

20/08/2024

Good morning!

I feel you on the rejection front—I'm tired of it too! Platforms are picky about the genres and subgenres they publish, so it’s important to study what they want.

No matter how good your writing is, if your theme and genre don’t match their audience, you’re pretty much setting yourself up for a rejection letter.

I’ve put in a ton of effort to guide you, but let’s be real, rejection can still happen for a bunch of reasons: wrong genre, wrong tropes, grammar issues, or just not nailing those first five chapters.

So, today, I’m taking a break from replying to emails. I’m swamped with creating handouts for my guided writers. I hope you understand—my time is super limited, so I appreciate your patience. I’ll get back to your DMs and emails once I’m done with these handouts, which are only for my writers.

Heads up, they’re watermarked, so if you share or upload them without my okay, I’ll be furious and block you. This is just for personal use, and yeah, I’ve earned the right to be a little protective—I’ve put in the time and energy, and this is business, not charity. If you’re not one of my writers, don’t be lazy!

There’s plenty of stuff online you can dig up yourself. It’s easy to call someone arrogant, but usually, it’s the lazy ones who waste time pointing fingers, right? I don’t have time for that drama.

I love what I do, but I also have a life outside of work, so please understand if I don’t get back to you right away. I get tons of DMs and emails every day, and to keep things manageable, I’m organizing everything with forms, handouts, and tools.

I work with multiple platforms, each with its own needs, and as a mom of two, I know how to juggle different demands—believe me!

So, yeah, please cut me some slack. Let me focus on creating these handouts that’ll make your life easier. And hey, they’re all free. All I ask is for your passion, kindness, and understanding in return.

If my services have been helpful, please leave a review here: https://www.facebook.com/editordelilah/reviews.

It’ll really help me establish my own company and provide a better life for my family. After all, we all need to make ends meet, right?

Thanks so much for your support—I truly appreciate it.

P.S:
I'm launching a new segment called "Deel Academy." It’s unofficial for now, but I’m thinking about creating courses and masterclasses in the future. A lot of people are asking when the next class will be—honestly, I have no idea! So just hang in there with me. LOL.

Haha, I’m finally done creating handouts for my attendees tomorrow! Oh, my back aches and my brain hurts—turns out I’m not as young as I used to be when using PowerPoint. It’s been 12 years since my university days when I used to make presentations like this. Please excuse my slow pace, LOL!

I'm now updating my popular segment "LET'S LEARN WITH DE LILAH" on my page. So, please follow Editor De Lilah

LET'S LEARN WITH DE LILAH (PART 2)
Earlier part: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/WSUzdX8dwHTNSsX6/

Hello, Everyone!

Today, I received a captivating mafia romance story from one of my writers.

The genre is spot-on—romance—and the subgenre is even more enticing: mafia. The classic elements of a one-night stand and a cheating boyfriend are always a hit in this industry. So, what could possibly go wrong?

Well, it’s all about the storytelling!

09/08/2024

We're still recruiting talented writers to join – PayPal users only.

Check out my dashboard! This opportunity offers lifelong earnings – no retention needed. You get paid per 1,000 words. Sounds great, right?

Imagine having 100,000 or 200,000 words published. Your steady income could be $200 or more, all without the usual hustle.

Interested? Slide into my DMs now!

P.S.: Nigerian authors, please connect with friends or family who use PayPal.

09/08/2024

LET'S LEARN!

I believe it's important to always polish our stories. That's why I'm eager to help—send your story to me for a review before applying for a contract. While I can't guarantee anything (since I'm not the Story Editor and platforms may change their policies), I can promise that your writing will improve.

Remember, this isn't just a one-day job; it's a career. I hope you always see learning as a vital part of your writing journey, and of life in general.

***

Today, I received this beautiful story of billionaire romance. I won't give you the author name, but, i hope we can learn together from this manuscript.

***
Original manuscript:

Chapter 1 # Tripping Troubles

~~ 3 months ago~~
“Mom, I got the job..I got the job” Her joy was evident as she couldn’t contain her
excitement.
This job was a great opportunity for her to provide for the family.
“Oh my goodness! … I& #39;m so proud of you, Andrea” her mother,Mrs.Laura Exclaimed
enthusiastically.
“After all the challenges I faced in finding a job, I struck gold unexpectedly”
“I am super excited, momma.We can now afford to cover Lisa and Laurel’s school
expenses”
They were overjoyed. Not only was the money she could earn appealing, but the idea of
being able to support her siblings’ education was what really excited her.
Her dedication to finding a job was well known.
Starting a job at a prestigious company was a dream come true for Andrea but after just
a few months, she was eager to leave due to the challenges she faced at work.

~~Present~~
Andrea sat back comfortably in her office chair,taking a moment to relax with her eyes
shut.
Suddenly, the intercom on her desk buzzed,snapping her back to reality. She listened to
her boss’ voice coming through the speaker
"Andrea,come to my office now!!."
When she heard the tone of the message, she realized the man was upset,which was
typical of him. Andrea had recently begun working as Mr. Kings’ Personal Assistant a
few months ago and was able to tell when he was annoyed.
She stood and walked towards Mr. King& #39;s office,prepared for what awaited her.

Upon reaching the door, she knocked and waited for a reply,
“Enter!” came the voice from within. The office was spacious and everything was
carefully organized.
“Sir, you requested my presence”
“I was expecting a cappuccino, not this black coffee”
“I apologize Mr. King.I will make the needed correction immediately”

***
My revision:

Let's begin revising the story with this excerpt:
***

Andrea sat back comfortably in her office chair, taking a moment to relax with her eyes shut. Suddenly, the intercom on her desk buzzed, snapping her back to reality. She listened to her boss’s voice coming through the speaker.

"Andrea, get to my office now!"

When she heard the tone, she realized he was upset, which was typical of him.

"Got it, Boss!" she replied, trying to hide her trembling voice to avoid making things worse.

Andrea had only been Mr. King's assistant for a few months, but she could already tell when he was annoyed. She stood up and headed to his office, preparing herself for whatever was coming.

Upon reaching the door, she knocked and waited for a reply. Her boss yelled from inside.

“Come in!”

Andrea hesitated for a moment, trying to suppress her fear and irritation.

"Yes, Sir," she said, walking into Mr. King's office with as much confidence as she could muster. It was the least she could do to maintain her professionalism, even though her boss didn’t seem to care.

“I was expecting a cappuccino, not this black coffee!" Mr. King's eyes blazed as if it were the end of the world.

Andrea was shocked by how fussy her boss was over such trivial things, but that was just how he was. She gulped and answered.

“I—I apologize, Mr. King. I’ll make the correction immediately."

Good morning!

It's 9 am (UTC+7) so, yes! My working hours have just started, and as usual, my email is my TOP PRIORITY for the next two hours.

If you send me a DM, I will start replying after that.

Look at these unread emails, LOL. My hands are getting cramped replying to them one by one and giving advice on manuscripts.

I just finished cooking, sent the kids to school, and prepared everything my husband needs. It’s a rough life out here too. I hope you understand. I’m considering hiring some personal assistants in the future to handle more submissions, but not anytime soon as I’m not sure what to do with them yet, LOL.

Keep writing! I'll reach out to you soon. The contracts from 1001 Novel and Mespery have been issued. I hope most of you have received the offer letters from the officials!

Love you!

06/08/2024

I'm sorry for the delay, but I've received a lot of DMs and will respond to them one by one.

The book review period is over, and I'll get back to my emails by tomorrow morning. For now, I'll focus on replying to DMs and providing tutorials for the platforms.

Thanks for your patience! Just remember, I can help you secure a contract with the following platforms.

If you wish to publish your book with one of our partners, do message me.

Please be patient, though, as my inbox is quite full!

06/08/2024

I received my payments from MYBARD! They're legit but unfortunately, only for PAYPAL users.

DM me for further assistance.
Why not mass-publish your non-exclusive book?
Come on! I'll guide you through all of my partnered platforms and let's get rich! :p

"Please... Don't do this to me, I beg of you." I begged my voice trembling as he encroached me, getting into my personal space and beyond.

"Do this to you?" He laughed, the sound an emotionless void that sent stabs to my soul. "You're ours now. You have no choice. We'll do as we please." He growled, burying his nose into my neck as he breathed me in. I let out a shuddering while, my heart filled with fear, dread twisting in my stomach.

"We're going to enjoy ruining you Lienna. Look forward to it."

In the days of old, there not only used to be werewolves shifters, but tigers and dragons as well. Each one were powerful in their own ways, filled with numerous qualities and governed by the moon goddess who looked after all and ensured there was peace.

Until, the humans attacked. Jealous of their supernatural neighbors, they went into deep research, finding out their weaknesses and using it against them in battle. A lot was lost during the war, but the most painful was the loss of the moon goddess who used all her powers ending the war and vanished from the universe.

Enraged, the shifters turned feral, loosing all morality and began attacking humans and subjecting them to immense torture and enslavement. Centuries passed, but no one could save the humans from the hands of these despicable shifter beings. It is believed that the moon goddess will return and restore peace to the world. But who is she and what form will she take? Even if she is here, will she be able to turn the blackened hearts of the shifter kings around?
Wolfless. Rejected. Sold. Enslaved.

That is the life Lienna Moonborn now leads. Life has dealt with her tremendously in such a short amount of time and it's about to get worse. A lot more worse.

She has been sold to the Shifter Kings and her new owners would stop until they have ruined her completely.

Will she make it out alive and discover her true nature? Or does she have what it takes to bend this ruthless monsters to her will?

Please... Don't do this to me, I beg of you.

Let's celebrate our first achievement on Goodnovel! ❤️

We have successfully linked our very first author who received her contract yesterday. Congratulations to Author Nana! 🎉 I’m so proud of you! This is an English book, so yeah, the struggle is real!

Nana is a professional, yet she humbly accepted the NEX contract to showcase her skills to the market.

Our Senior Editor has promised that she’ll receive an upgrade once her book performs well and fits into their market.

Oh, Dear Lord. Alhamdulillah ... this is such a relief! ❤️

02/08/2024

Every day, when I open my laptop and start my working hours (8 am, UTC+7), I always check my inbox.

So, if you want advice or revisions for your story (limited to my signed authors only), make sure to send it to my email accordingly. Otherwise, I might not be able to assist you. Remember, your chance is only in the morning. After 10 am, I shut my laptop to play with my kids and only respond to casual messages and complaints, LOL.

Why is revision a must?

As authors, we occasionally become saturated with our own thoughts and information unrelated to the writing itself. Or maybe we mistype and fail to create tension in our story, which is bad! Of course, it's bad! Our neighbor's criticism is way sharper than your conflict, so why would readers waste their time reading it? Moreover, why should they buy your work and want to know how the story unfolds?

That's why I'm here, to give you a fresh perspective on your manuscript and tell you where to tweak, reduce, or add more drama to drive the plot forward.

This is FREE! Of course.

Why do I do this without any payment?

Well, first of all, I love my job. I'm quite a perfectionist, and I find it fulfilling to perfect others' work. It's a relief to know it's not a mental syndrome but a beneficial gift from God to enhance my editing ability.

Second, I love you, and I want to help you succeed under my guidance.

Third, the platform will pay me whenever you succeed in signing the contract. Otherwise, I don't get paid, which is unfortunate, but it's just a business risk I'm used to.

But trust me, if you listen to me and strive for success, that's enough.

Even though it's a non-paying job, InsyaALLAH, my Dear Lord will see it as a charity and reward me when I need it most :D

So, how's your writing going?
