I like to write fiction with female protagonists, in women's literature, romance/erotica, chick-lit, suspence, or literature category.

I'm a novice writer, (4 stories so far) and new to reading English literature, too, since I grew up reading in Japanese and didn't read besides requirements in college. It is a triumph in itself for me to enjoy being able to read in English. This year I read Wuthering Heights, and was happy that I could read old English and enjoy it, too!

First goal is to publish my short story (5000words) in a literature magazine/e-zine. I can take criticisms. Love encouragements. :D

I have a special need for someone with a solid understanding of English mechanics, as I'm a non-native English speaker. Through your guidance I want to learn to write in beautiful English.

Hey, Kate--did you live in Japan before moving to the States? Because perhaps we can work out a bartering system...LOL

The next book I want to write will be set in Japan (I write young adult novels)--so maybe you can aid me with your expertise, and I can help with mine! :D

Let me know what you think.

I'd be interested in reading your stories and offering some critique. Your background sounds interesting and I'd like to help make your stories the best they can be.
