Well hi, everyone. So I've been quietly puttering around on my own for a while now, but it's getting a little lonely, so I'm thinking I'm at the stage where I'd like some writing buddies.

I've completed two first drafts by myself, but now I need some extra sets of eyes to help me brush things up to publishable quality. Right now, I'm most interested in my YA high fantasy, BRIGHTMAGE.

I would love to swap; in fact, I'd prefer it. With one caveat: I'd rather swap with people who are writing the same genre and category as me. In other words, YA fantasy. Especially second world/high fantasy. I like to do things at a chapter by chapter basis, and I have a lot of free time and I'm a pretty fast reader. Doesn't matter how far along you are - whether you're editing like me, or have something fairly polished, or are just starting a rough draft.

If anyone's interested, feel free to PM me or reply here. :)

Consider me interested! I have a high fantasy novel that's borderline YA... I hope that's close enough for you? Chapter by chapter works brilliantly for me. If you're interested or want more details first, pm me.

I have a YA novel that I can't decide if it's fantasy or science fiction. It has elements of both, but isn't really high fantasy. I'd be interested, as I love fantasy, but it's not exactly what you are looking for.

I'd be interested. I prefer swaps too.

I've gotten feedback on my YA fantasy before, but I've been messing with the beginning, so I'm hoping to find a few more readers for it.

You already suffered through two versions of the opening in SYW, so you've got an idea of my writing style/what it's about already.

Let me know if you're interested.

Ooh, I'd love to! I have a YA fantasy I've been working on forever. I've started to query but am now really paranoid, lol. Just let me know!
