Hi there,
I'm looking for critiques on my 89,000-word lit fic novel "A Lost Argument." I have been through two stages of fairly thorough revisions on it, including submitting many of the chapters of the first half to my local writers group. It's fairly polished and you won't need to be correcting spelling or grammar mistakes. At this point I mainly need higher-level criticism on the overall coherence of the story.
The novel is about a Mormon girl in college in the early 1990s who falls in love with an atheist philosophy student. She tries to convert him, he tries to seduce her, and in the process she falls in love with philosophy as well as him. She sets off to find Truth (with a capital "T"), God, the meaning of life, and a boyfriend, and winds up becoming an atheist but learning a lot about faith in the process.
I would be more than happy to return the favor by critiquing your manuscript in exchange. I am open to reading just about anything except horror - I have difficulty with extremes of violence. So nothing too sickening or darkly gory, please. Thanks very much in advance!
