Anyone up to critiquing and mentoring me?

I'm looking for a pretty experienced someone to read a few chapters of my novel (it's a really really really long one, so I wouldn't put anyone through the hassle of having to read ALL of it just yet :) ) to see where I'm going wrong. I also need someone to help with the query letters - I have a complete inability (in my five to ten attempts) of saying in 2 paragraphs what took me 163,928 words to say (and that's only the first novel of the trilogy ;) )

Anyone up for it? I'm willing to return the critiquing favor, mostly in the fantasy genre. I am however familiar with most genres thanks to working in a book store (product knowledge drilled into our brains, lol). Just PM me!

Thanks,

Annwyn

If it's the first 2-3 chapters, I might have the time for that over the long weekend. (I'll probably be bored at the in-laws anyway)

Send me an email with a single attachment of the opening chapters, the most important for hooking a reader.

Sorry, I thought I had my profile set up to show my email addy. I don't like to post it online for fear of spammers grabbing it. You can PM me or use my public email: melanie_nilles at yahoo.com. (Hope net spiders can't grab that.)

Lol, fair enough, in this day and age you never know - I will post it shortly, thanks for the quick response. I feel like I've been tied to this computer for the past few days
