Hello! A child in my life has a birthday coming up, and I would love to gift her a book to encourage her love of reading. She is turning 10 (in 4th grade), and I would say she reads at grade level or slightly above, and because she does have reading stamina I would prefer to gift her a chapter book rather than a graphic novel.
She has expressed liking adventure books, has a wild imagination, and does not at the moment really like princess or "girly" characters or storylines (not opening a discussion on whether or not girls can be both girly and brave, I am just communicating what resonates with this child rn.) So, I would like if the book had a brave/spunky female MC she could see herself in. Anyone have a suggestion for a book that fits the bill? :)

Hi,
I'm seeking an artist to produce original art (agnostic to medium) for the cover of my soon-to-be-published novel. The novel is both a work of historical fiction and a retelling of the most foundational Indo-European myths in an adventure/drama. Thus I'm looking for an artist with facility in historical or fantastical styles.
Experience at cover art for trade paperback/hard cover novel preferred (6"x9"). The contract will be for the art only, no other design elements are necessary (ie. back design, interior, etc). The book will be published in trade paperback and ebook and potentially hardcover.
I have some idea of what I'm looking for and am happy to discuss individually, along with more details about the narrative and what ideas might suit. FWIW my favorite sci-fi/fantasy artists are Michael Whelan, Tim White, Simon Bisley and Donate Giancola.
I am looking for a total of 3 images: one will be used for cover, the others for marketing.
-The first image will be the cover image. It should be iconic, dichromatic and incorporate several mythological elements.
-The second image will include characters.
-The third image will depict a scene from the narrative.
My budget is between $500 - $1000 (USD) and will include a full assignment of rights in connection with the work as I will need to use them for commercial and marketing purposes. This work will be done on an independent contractor basis.
I am looking for an artist who can complete the work by mid-June. I anticipate writing more books in this series, and there is a possibility of follow-up work for marketing-related artwork
If interested please include a portfolio of potentially relevant images, or links thereto, as well as an estimate of how much time you would need to complete the work.
After months of research and writing I am very excited to publish this book, and I'm really looking forward to choosing an artist to bring it to life.
*************************UPDATE**************************************
Thank you all very much for your replies. I am truly impressed with the quality and range of art. I will be making a decision shortly. Due to the high quality of the responses I may need to split up the commission.

Hello All,
As the title says, I’m looking for adventure novels with a female protagonist. Not super picky, it can have romance or no romance, be historical or set in modern-day, etc. I’ve just been on a real adventure novel and movie kick lately, but most of the protagonists seem to be men. I was watching one of the Tomb Raider films over the weekend, and it got me to wondering.
Open to any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Looking for what you think is the classic literature adventure story that is the easiest to read and is a major pageturner. Preferably swords and travels and a good unexpected story. But mostly easy to read and a pageturner.
Thank you.

Hi,
My father is looking for a series he read. It's about a young man during the age of sail, who is pressed into service in the british navy. He is a ballistic genius, clever with anything from pistol to cannon, and during the series advances in the ranks to become a recognized captain. He is no noble man, he is either from a simple family or maybe an orphan.
So far we have ruled out these series:
-
Sharpe
-
Hornblower
-
Master & Commander
-
Kydd
-
Horatio Lyle
-
Bolitho
-
Ramage
-
Alan Lewrie
-
Nathaniel Drinkwater

Fingers crossed that some of you may know what this series is!
Dedicated to the works of H.P. Lovecraft, this is your stop for all of his outstanding works and weird fiction in general!
I'm attempting national novel writing month this year and my plot is a lovecraftian psychological thriller.
I devoured a ton of lovecrafts stories recently, but i think I need something longer to read while I write for the next month.
My fav lovecraft story is at the mountains of madness if that helps you choose.
(Also if anyone is interested in reading a reddit randos story when/as I write it, that would be pretty cool)

Swashbuckling high adventure focusing on a male hero. But not all ship-based please. Sword fights, travels, romance, close calls, clever escapes and deceptions! Already read Hornblower, Aubrey-Maturin and Wilbur Smith.
Thank yall.

"I took pictures of everything but the evidence."
Y'all...I can't. She takes pictures of EVERYTHING and records EVERYTHING but has no images of abuse that comport to her testimony. THEN she claims she gave the images to her lawyers and they aren't using them? Oh, and the police body cam footage is wrong too. But it happened. I swear. I have pictures. Oh, and #JusticeforJohnnyDepp has almost 1 million tweets, which should not be interpreted as pro-Johnny Depp, but rather negative Amber Heard tweets.

The book followed two young women, friends or cousins, one in a city and the other in the countryside. The entire book is made up of the two characters' letters to one-another. It follows their social schedules and respective high society balls, eventually revealing conspiracy, scandals, and (occult/magic?) plots that they must foil. Their respective enemies are revealed to be in league by the end. I imagine there's likely some romance but it is not the focus of the book.
As I recall the book has two authors, who wrote the letters to one another as their chosen character and eventually edited it into a novel. I believe it was written in the 90's or earlier.
