As the title indicates, I'm looking for someone to read my short story "Grover's Meadow Revisited", which is about three former sitcom actors who reunite in San Francisco under the pretense of producing a very bad one-woman play. It's a spoof on Hollywood culture, as well as an exploration of how media and stories in general influence the ways that people construct their identities -- and according to my dad (parents are always the best critics, right?) it's pretty funny. I'm hoping to publish this, so I want someone who isn't afraid to be brutal with feedback. Let me know if you're interested!

I'd love to beta your story. I am a pro editor, so if it's brutal feedback you're looking for, I can provide it! (Honestly, I am blunt but kind. I think brutal is unnecessary.)
