Hi,
My name is Sara, I am looking for someone to help me with a novel I recently finished. It is called Town Curfew. It is a sci-fi/suspense, thriller type book with a dash of romance. I need a harsh critique to tear it down and show me the flaws and weaknesses and problems so that I can build it back up for a real publisher.

My goal is to submit it to Penguin and Putnam's DAW branch as their sci-fi doors are open to submissions but I want to do this right. I have dealt with bad publishers (Publish America a mistake made by me who knew nothing and fell for their "We are traditional" guise).

I don't really care what credentials you have, I just need someone who is great at finding flaws and tearing books down so they can rise even better. I want everything critiqued, grammar, spelling, my voice, my style, plot everything.

If there is anyone interested in helping me through this, I would greatly appreciate it. You can send me a PM or reply to this message.

Thank you very much.

Sara
