Hi people.

Just found this forum and this is my first post, so I hope this is the wright place.

I am writing a non fiction book about the six years I spent selling timeshare, in the Caribbean, Balearic, and the Canary Islands.

I have the first three chapters and going by the few non experts who have read it so far it appears to be quite humorous, (which is fine).

Because its based on real events that I was personally involved in there is no problem completing the work.

My problem is that, has a complete novice I really do need some experienced feedback just to reassure myself that I do have something, and that I am going in the wright direction.

My fear is that I will bang out 500 or more pages and then have to do it all over again because the format, or perspective etc. is wrong.
I hope you understand what I mean.

Would someone like to read and evaluate this for me?

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!

Hello Pheonix and a hearty welcome to you. The only thing I might suggest is to post something on the Share Your Work Forum under non-fiction-password Vista. Try it and see what you come up with. There are a lot of good and talented folks here who are very willing to help if given the chance-so-try it!

Just posted the first few pages there.

Thanks for your help and the welcome.
