TeslaCon Presentation: Strange Happenings at the 1893 World's Fair

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 17:55:19 GMT

Slides from my Presentation at TeslaCon 2023

I had so much fun at TeslaCon this year! I had a table for my books , presented one of my favorite topics using my notes from Monsters and Machines, attended a masquerade , and met so many wonderful people. I hope I can return next year!

After my presentation at TelsaCon, I had several requests to make my slides available. If you click on the banner above or the link here , you can view my presentation. At a later date, I might record my talk, but for now, I have unpacking and writing to do!

Strange Happenings at the 1893 World's Fair

Alternate history is popular in steampunk storytelling, but what happens when reality is stranger than fiction? Come learn about the 1893 World’s Fair that almost wasn’t and the curious events surrounding the exposition.

With fierce competition between cities to host the Fair and the War of the Currents, the Columbian Exposition had a challenging start. We’ll discuss the myriad of problems faced by the scale of the construction of the White City, inventions and products debuted, the multitude of notable international visitors, and shocking crimes committed in Chicago during the Fair. Finally, we’ll examine examples of the 1893 World’s Fair in media.

ARC Readers Wanted for The Hazel Fae

kelsey.josephson88@gmail.com (Kelsey Josephson) — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 21:05:14 GMT

Be One of the First to Read This Steampunk Cinderella Retelling!

UPDATE: ARCs are now closed. Thank you so much to all of my amazing ARC readers!

✨�� ARC Readers Wanted! ��✨

I'm looking for ARC readers to review my novella, The Hazel Fae, for the Once Upon A Winter anthology . If you'd like a free copy of The Hazel Fae in exchange for an honest review, click here .

The Hazel Fae is a fantasy romance novella with a steampunk twist. It's low heat (a little more than Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast.) While it has darker elements, this story does have a HEA. It features a cinnamon roll of a broody prince, a brilliant Cinderella, and the fairy godmother like you've never seen her before!

Blurb: When Nicolette was young, her mother always warned her: never accept gifts from the fae. Years later, when a fairy godmother offers an escape from her wicked stepfamily, Nicolette’s resolve crumbles. Can she pay the price for happily ever after?

Listen to Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast on the Serial Fiction Show

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 21:49:11 GMT

The Serial Fiction Show

I had the privilege of guest starring on the Serial Fiction Show ! Listen to the opening of F orsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast episode one, then we discuss everything from steampunk, Nikola Tesla, fairy tales, anime, comics, and K-dramas, and how it all ties together. Best of all, the Serial Fiction Show is a cool concept in that it’s two shows in one.

In the Reader’s Show, you can listen to the first half of Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast, then we discuss the world building and inspiration behind the series. JP and Christine also asked me about Strange Happenings and the possibilities of a crossover. Spoiler alert: I’m thinking about it.

In the Writer’s Show, we discuss craft. I talk about my Franken-plotting method of combining a few different frameworks and how I learned serial writing from comics, manga, anime, and k-dramas (yes, really!)

I had so much fun on the show and I’m grateful for the opportunity. The stinger at the end of the Reader’s Show made me laugh to hear it again. I didn’t realize we were still recording, but what I said about myself is true.

Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast

An unconventional beauty, a tormented beast, and the ether that binds their fate. Start reading this steampunk fairy tale retelling today! Updates weekly.

After her own father sells her to the unscrupulous Ringmaster, strongwoman Belle thinks she'll spend the rest of her days performing cheap stunts while the Nuzaran masses gawk at her ether-poisoned body. A chance encounter with a beast by her solitary campfire changes everything. Can they find liberation or will the past consume them both?

Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast is a steampunk fairytale retelling, filled with mad science, airships, and magical tech! It’s released as 600-5,000 word episodes on Patreon, Kindle Vella , Radish , Fictionate.Me , and Laterpress .

On Kindle Vella, the first three episodes are free, and at the time of this writing, are giving away 200 free tokens to new readers. On Patreon, I wrote a free prequel episode that can be read here . It’s also available on Fictionate.Me as well.

Kindle Vella readers, you can also read this episode. It’s not behind a paywall. I wanted all of my readers to have a free preview episode but I couldn’t use anything on Kindle Vella without violating their ToS. This is my workaround. All my readers deserve a chance to read a preview.

Introducing Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast

Tue, 13 Jul 2021 20:45:34 GMT

The release day is finally here for my brand new sci-fi fantasy serial, Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast! This serial is a steampunk fairy tale retelling, filled with mad science, airships, and magical tech! It will be released as 600-5,000 word episodes on Patreon , Kindle Vella , Radish , Fictionate , and Laterpress .

Introducing Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast

An unconventional beauty.

A tormented beast.

And the ether that binds their fate.

How to Read Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast on Kindle Vella

Kindle Vella is Amazon’s latest reading platform. You can access it on Amazon.com and in the Kindle app on iOS and Android. You can read the first three episodes of Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast for free on Kindle Vella here . Readers can purchase and redeem Tokens to unlock the rest of the episodes. The number of Tokens needed to unlock an episode is determined by the episode’s word count at the rate of one token per 100 words. At the time of this writing, Amazon is giving new readers 200 free tokens.

How to Read Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast on Patreon

If you don’t live in the US or you’d prefer another option, you can read Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast on Patreon . If you’re unfamiliar with Patreon, it can be accessed either at Patreon.com or as an app in both Google Play and iOS. I can’t post any free episodes outside of Kindle Vella without violating their Terms of Service, so I included the first three episodes under the $1/month tier and wrote a free prequel episode on Patreon that can be read here .

Kindle Vella readers, you can also read this episode. It’s not behind a paywall. I wanted my Patreon readers to have a free preview episode but I couldn’t use anything on Kindle Vella without violating their ToS. This is my workaround. All my readers deserve a chance to read a preview.

For $3/month, you’ll have access to all of the episodes as they’re released, starting with the first five episodes. All Patrons will have access to my Patreon-exclusive behind-the-scenes podcast, Strange Questions. You can read more about the different tiers on Patreon here .

Why Patreon?

From my letter on Patreon , here’s why I chose to release on Patreon as well as Kindle Vella :

Hello!

I’m Kelsey Josephson, author of the Strange Happenings and Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast serials. My favorite genres to write are speculative fiction, sci-fi, and fantasy, all with a dash of horror.

Strange Happenings is a gaslamp fantasy serial set around the 1893 World’s Fair and available on most distributors here . You can also find out more about the serial on my website here .

Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast is a steampunk fairy tale retelling, filled with mad science, airships, and magical tech! It will be released as 600-5,000 word episodes on both my Patreon and on a paid reading service.

So, why am I on Patreon?

I wanted to make Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast accessible for more readers and I thought Patreon would make an excellent home for it.

The other reason I’m on Patreon is I’m currently working on a novel version of Strange Happenings. Writing is going well on the project and I’m on track to completion. The book will be available both in both eBook and print form. However, I’ve reached a point in my writing career I need to scale up my advertising. Unfortunately, when most of my available work is only $0.99 per story, before the distributors take their cut, my profit margins are razor thin.

I’ve been able to do a few ads, but some of the paid newsletters with the biggest impact are well beyond my budget at this time. I would like to use this Patreon to fund some of those dream newsletters and advertisements to help my book reach even more readers. In addition to writing, I’m a mother to two young children. With more funding, I’ll be able to use my limited writing time for producing fiction instead of having to spend so much time working on organic reach on social media. Anything I earn beyond that will go towards more ambitious projects, artwork commissions, and beyond.

If you’ve read this far, thank you so much for your time. I appreciate any and all support!

Life After NaNoWriMo: 5 Easy Things to do After Finishing a Draft

Fri, 04 Dec 2020 21:20:06 GMT

If you recently finished NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and are wondering what’s next, this blog post is for you! Even if you didn’t reach the 50,000-word count goal, these are all applicable to you, too. No matter what time of year you read this, these tips will help you recharge after finishing a first draft.

This post contains affiliate links from Amazon.com. If you purchase products from these links, I’ll earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. To read my full disclosure statement, click here .

Rest

Take a day or two off from writing. You could catch up on housework or go back to neglected hobbies, but there’s no shame in only wanting to rest when you can or watching your favorite shows. Even if you have developed a habit of writing large word counts year-round, give yourself a break and come back to your writing refreshed.

I took the last weekend of November off from writing since I finished the goal early this year thanks to sprinting. I played a lot of Animal Crossing and watched Christmas movies with my family. At first, I felt weird about not being at my desk all weekend, but when Monday arrived, I was ready to delve into a side project.

Read

If your reading time was neglected during November (and October, too, if you did Preptober), now would be a good time to get back into it or try something new. If funds are limited, you could check out books from your library. Many libraries offer Overdrive or Hoopla online, making it so you can check out eBooks from home.

For me, I’m diving into books I already own to either revisit favorites and also finish books I started reading before November. I’m also revisiting two of my favorite writing craft books. I’m not looking to finish reading all these books in a month, especially after the challenge last month, but here’s my to-be-read (and reread) list:

There are still books I want to check out from the library, especially Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia , but I haven’t made a full list yet. I’m also considering another reread of Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir , because they’re both fantastic novels. The world is unlike anything I’ve ever read before, and her writing balances humor, action, and heart-wrenching scenes beautifully.

Study Writing Craft

Instead of editing right away after finishing a draft, I like to either start a small side project or study writing craft. This year, I’m working on a short story and reviewing craft books. I’m also delving back into MasterClass , to take some writing classes I haven’t yet, starting with Walter Mosley’s new class on Fiction and Storytelling. What I love most about MasterClass is that I can watch the videos while I go about my day, then during my writing time, I work on the exercises. If I’m feeling uninspired, Neil Gaiman’s videos are great for a pep talk. (Through 12/28/20, MasterClass is offering a buy one, get one free membership promotion. You can find more information here .)

New Paragraph

How to Prepare for Camp NaNoWriMo

Sat, 13 Jun 2020 20:06:13 GMT

What is Camp NaNoWriMo?

Camp NaNoWriMo is a more relaxed version of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month.) The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words of a story during the month of November. You earn badges and achievements on the www.nanowrimo.org website for completing word count goals and other milestones. Camp NaNoWriMo takes place in April and July. The best part? You decide your goal for the challenge.

Unlike NaNoWriMo, you’re not locked into 50,000 words for Camp. Last April I kept track of writing minutes. Since the only option to track on the NaNoWriMo website is word count, I used the formula 1 minute of writing = 1 word for tracking. My goal was 1,800 minutes writing during the month, so on the website the tracker had an 1,800 words target. If you need to edit a project, you could track the number pages revised or minutes editing for Camp.

Another unique feature of Camp NaNoWriMo is the cabin system. You can search for other writers in your genre or partner with your friends to form an online cabin where you can post encouraging messages and hold each other accountable.

To sign up for Camp NaNoWriMo and more details, visit www.nanowrimo.org and create a profile. If you already have a profile from participating in NaNoWriMo, all you need to do is announce a new project on the website and select the option to associate it with Camp NaNoWriMo.

This post contains affiliate links, including Amazon.com and MasterClass. If you purchase products from these links, I’ll earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. To read my full disclosure statement, click here .

How to Prepare for Camp NaNoWriMo

Here are some steps you can take now to prepare for Camp. Even if you don’t do everything on the list, completing some of these tasks will make Camp much more fun.

Set a goal. Think about what you want to accomplish during Camp. Do you need to meet a word count goal? Do you need to work through edits? Are you trying to build a writing habit? Journaling might help you clarify what you most would like to work on during camp. After you have a general idea of what you want to accomplish, make your goal as specific as possible. It will make it easier for you to track your progress.
If you will be working on a first draft, consider writing an outline or synopsis so you can start the first day of Camp with a clear plan. If you are new to plotting, a book on the topic I’ve found to be helpful is Save the Cat! Writes a Novel by Jessica Brody. You can find it here . You could also try the Snowflake Method, where you grow an idea from a one-sentence summary to a full outline. This post has a more detailed explanation.
Catch up on your to-be-read pile, or pick up a book in the same genre as your project for inspiration. Use your local library if you’re on a budget. Many libraries are using curbside pick-up right now, and some also lend out e-books through Overdrive and Hoopla.
Start building a writing habit now. Set aside 10 minutes a day to write so you can ease into longer sessions when Camp begins.
Let your friends and family know about your plans to participate in Camp. They can cheer you on and hold you accountable. It also lets them know you have a project to work on and may not be as available for the month.
Brainstorm easy meals to make and consider meal planning. Pinterest is a great resource for recipes. If you’re the main cook in your household, this will free up more time during the month.
Look for writing prompts for inspiration. Pinterest, Tumblr, and Reddit are all great sources for prompts if you’re feeling stuck.
Watch YouTube videos on writing craft. This lecture by Brandon Sanderson is popular with science fiction and fantasy writers.
Take an online class. My favorite series of courses are on MasterClass . There are 80+ instructors of all kinds of subjects, including writing, acting, cooking, fashion, music, and more. This is a good way to get an in-depth look at a topic. For writers, aside from the benefit of access to a dozen writing courses, you could take classes related to your project. Notable writing instructors include Neil Gaiman , Joyce Carol Oates , and Margaret Atwood . I recommend purchasing the All-Access Pass because a single course costs $90. The All-Access Pass is $180 for one year with unlimited access to all the classes. Even if you only take three courses, you’ll save money. You can find more information here .
Don’t forget to sign up on the www.nanorimo.org website and announce your project!
Look for cabin mates, either on the NaNoWriMo website or online.
Join the official NaNoWriMo Facebook group for more support. The group is active year-round.

More Resources for Camp NaNoWriMo

In this blog post , I share ideas of preparing for NaNoWriMo in a bullet journal. Even though the demands of Camp NaNoWriMo can be less strenuous, many of the tips can still be applied. You can read the post here .

If you purchase anything from the links below, I’ll earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support!

One of my favorite courses on MasterClass is Neil Gaiman Teaches the Art of Storytelling . The video lectures are a perfect pep talk if you’re having writer’s block or looking for inspiration. He covers everything from short stories to comics to novels. The class workbook is full of exercises and an extensive list of recommended reading to further improve your writing. You can watch a preview of his class here .

I already mentioned some of these books in this post, but here are some of my recommendations to add to your reading list. I’ve read and loved all of these books.

Good luck with Camp NaNoWriMo and have fun!

Preparing for NaNoWriMo in my Bullet Journal

Last year, I completed my first NaNoWriMo under a pen name. This year, I created a new account under my real name and I’ve made more of an effort to prepare in my bullet journal . I asked in the official NaNoWriMo Facebook group for ideas for Preptober (the term many writers affectionately call October and is credited to Rachael Stephen .) Using the resources I found through Pinterest and the Facebook group, I’ve made a bullet journal for my work in progress so that by November 1st, I’ll be ready to write. Below are the first few pages of my set-up:

This year’s NaNoWriMo is particularly dear to me because I’ll be working on the first draft of a novel idea I’ve had for years. Though I’ve had the basic idea for a long time, I’m struggling with the fear of my idea turning out to be terrible. I’m determined to get over my worries about writing an awful first draft and finally finish writing my story.

Any mistakes I make or plot holes can be fixed in editing, after the first draft is written. NaNoWriMo will help me silence my inner critic and focus on getting the story out. I’ll still be working on it in December, as my current outline puts my novel between 90K and 100K words, but having the first half of the draft done by November 30th will be rewarding.
