Hello, I have began my first novel and have wrote my first two chapters and was wondering if anybody would read it and give me criticism on it?

Thanks much

Welcome! This thread will likely be moved. The place to post request like that is called Beta Readers...

Also, once you have 50 posts, you can post a chapter in the relevant section of Share Your Work. Password is vista. You can enter that part of the site now, look at what other people say and try your hand at giving advice yourself. Also look at the relevant parts of the site for the book you're writing.

Good luck!

Blessings,

It's a good idea to finish and edit it before looking for criticism too. Many manuscripts I see on SYW are full of grammatical and spelling errors, and it is very difficult to judge things like storytelling, plot, characterization etc. when I'm blinded by fundamental problems.
