Hi folks. I'm querying a complete, edited literary thriller and getting requests from agents (yay!), but I'd still like a few more eyeballs to scan over it and give some in-depth feedback.
My MS: Literary thriller with horror elements, complete at 100,000 words. A new take on the zombie mythos: a rabies-like virus spreads rapidly across the US, turning the infected into violent, mindless cannibals—except for a select few, who become stronger, faster, smarter...and hungrier. The novel focuses on a handful of infected survivors who struggle to deal with what they're becoming.
Books similar to mine:
Feedback desired/willing to offer: Critique of high-level prose mechanics (metaphors, sentence rhythm, etc.). Plot development, pacing, characterization, etc. Always happy to give praise where it's due, but I'm primarily looking for (and wanting to offer) constructive criticism. We're competent writers; let's push ourselves and learn from each other.

PM me if interested. We can exchange first chapters and see if we click with each other.
Thanks!
