I am a techwriter. One friend of mine who writes novel will email me every chapter he just finished. I will contribute ideas as the story moves on and, as he told me, those contribution greatly helped him develop the stories. I am curious to know whether you share your unfinished works with other people? Will that idea-contributing work for you?
Also, after the final draft is finished and before you send the manuscript to publication houses, will you share it with other people and let them review and send you their feedbacks? If you did, what do you expect from them? Send them the Word document and expect them to fix small typos for you or add comments for paragraphs they're interested, or just only a general feeling?
