Hi. I would really appreciate it if some could help me.

I've got a middle grade horror novel 'finished' at just shy of 23K. I would love it if you could give me your honest opinion. I feel like the story is possibly too short, and I have doubts about the ending.

It's about a young boy named Alice Johnson. He runs away from home and gets lost in a haunted forest inhabited by zombie-like monsters. (They are dead, but intelligent.) And it's told in first person.

Thanks again. :)

23k seems short to me, but I'm interested in the premise. Perhaps you could private message me the first chapter and we can go from there? I'm currently about a week or two away from finishing my current WIP, so if I did Beta your whole MS, I would probably not do so for another week or two, but then it will have my full attention. I am an English major so I tend to have an eye for grammar mistakes, but I'd also help with plot/characters/setting and theme if you'd like. Let me know!
