Spark Your Holiday Novel With Imagery!

Hershman RightsLeave a comment

Weather (pun intended) we like it or not the holiday season is right around the corner! It’s practically here (in Grinch voice)!

And for some of us that means snow! Now, if you are trying to spark some creativity for your holiday novel one great way to do that is through imagery. Looking at photos can make us believe we are there and feeling the surroundings. So if you live in someplace that may not get snow, spark that feeling with some of these images!

There are so many tools to use to spark your imagination! Just by going online and typing themes of your book into the search bar and looking at the images can open a whole new door to your novel!

And I am not just here to show you pictures of snow because there can be so much more in a holiday novel. Maybe you live in a place that has too much snow and your characters take a tropical vacation for the holidays?

The possibilities are endless! Maybe you use your own photos to spark something! Just remember that you can spark your creativity through almost anything! 

Happy Writing!

Put on your comfiest pajamas, go to your favorite spot in the house, and grab a great book! The holidays can be especially relaxing and cozy, so we created a collection of our favorite holiday reads- ranging from romance to mystery. You will definitely be able to find a good book to fit the season!



A fan of a fun mystery…grab this book to give you more than one good chuckle.



The Christmas Club is now a Hallmark Christmas movie! Read or listen to the book now before you watch the movie.



Bobbi Holmes has plenty more where this came from with a little ghost in everything!



Get a look into Christmas time from someone else’s perspective. A short and sweet English Christmas holiday romance!
Outside of the Christmas realm but can still put you in the winter spirit. Read this one to get shivers down your spine!



Want something a little more nontraditional when it comes to Christmas books. This one offers young love in its finest with a twist!

Give one of these books a try and let us know what you think!

Happy Holidays!

There are so many tools on the internet to help you to create a beautiful and unique card- including Hallmark, Canva, and Tinyprints. These services allow you to either make printed or ecards:
