I want to exchange first chapters of my work-in-progress with another writer to learn whether we might benefit from continuing to critique each other’s works as equal peer partners.

My current project is a novel, an amateur detective mystery, but I’m a diverse reader with interest and scholarship in a variety of genres and will be happy to offer critiques on any writing project. If you think it’s important, I will, too.

I was raised on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Dame Agatha Christie, and I taught in a small college forty miles south of Canada’s border. Students from states and provinces could choose U.S. or U.K. spelling, punctuation, and grammar – but not both. Neither is better than the other, merely different. However, since I’m writing for U.S. publication, with this project I’m looking for proofreading consistent with stateside editing.

For further discussion, writing sample, or test drives of critique styles, please private message me.

Tenets, anyone?

How about me?

I wouldn't mind giving it a try. You know what my WIP is about. :)

Euclid,

Thanks for your offer, as well as bringing my ad back to the top. I'm sending you e-mail details via private message so we may get started.
