Novel Creature
Welcome to Substack Saturday: Adventure Begins Here
It’s official.
Substack Saturday is here!
Welcome to Novel Creature, a new signature series dedicated to immersive story updates, Blerd culture, and cozy, bookish fun. If you love sci-fi, fantasy, comics, and getting lost in fictional worlds, you’re in the right place.
I’m Montrez.
You may know me as the author of my urban fantasy debut Errant or as Editor-In-Chief of Konkret Comics. But at my core, I’m just a book nerd obsessed with fictional worlds and spreading bookish joy.
Novel Creature is a passion project, and I hope you feel the love in each post.
What’s Inside?
Novel Creature is designed to feel like your favorite Y2K-era magazine. Only, we’re not talking about celebrities. We’re diving into the Montrez-Verse, talking book recs, and fleshing out our fictional fandoms.
Each month we’ll explore new themes and you’ll get new weekly drops on Saturdays. Here’s what you’ll find featured every month:
📌The Cover Post
The first week of every month will introduce a new cover and theme with real world updates for what’s happening in our community, and a preview of upcoming posts for the month.
✨Novel Creature Living
Connect with the characters and worlds in the Montrez-Verse. From mindsets, mantras, success stories, fashion tips and more, this section takes inspiration from your favorite and emerging fictional characters that’s relevant to our own real life adventures.
📚Power Reads
Power up with fiction! This is where I’ll share book recommendations, anticipated reads, mood reading fun, and more.
💜Community Pulse
Tap into community connection and interaction with polls, prompts, character quizzes, discussion, and more. This section will be featured in each week’s post.
