Availability: Unavailable as of 10/20/11 (I'm doing NaNo!)
Contacting Me: PM me a summary, blurb, synopsis or query letter. You may also send your first chapter, but that is by no means a requirement.
Critique Style: I comment on pacing, plot, development, characterization, spelling, repetition, consistency, etc. Basically, if I notice something off, I’ll let you know. I make comments as I read and summarize my thoughts at the end. Let me know exactly what you’re looking for in a beta as well as the time frame you would like it to be completed.
What I read: YA, Fantasy, Paranormal, Horror, Mystery, Suspense, Thriller, Humor, Contemporary, LGBT themed and Science Fiction.
What I might read: Romance/chick lit and Non-fiction -if it’s EXTREMELY good.
What I don’t read: Memoirs, Historical fiction, Erotica, Christian, Hard Scifi
Your novel genre not listed? No problem. Just follow the directions for ‘Contacting Me’ and I’ll give it a look.
Things to consider:
~I’ll read first drafts if they don’t read like first drafts. i.e. If it’s riddled with so many errors I have a hard time understanding it, I will have to decline. I actually don’t mind rough/first drafts, but when taking on so many projects…time is not my friend.
~I’m all for giving critique for critique. I may ask if you’re willing to return the favor, but don’t feel obligated! My main focus is to help other writers as much as I can while getting some good reading in.
A return crit is not expected or required.
