An amazing friend of mine had an idea. It's a simple idea really. The act of helping others because you've been helped yourself. So she gathered a bunch of us together and encouraged us to help out. Of course, I signed up. I've gotten a lot of help and support from my twitter and #writemotivation friends out there. I think it is our responsibility as a writing community, to help each other.
We're all on the road to whatever dream we have. Some are further than others, but it isn't a race. There is no prize for finishing first.
So, here is what I'm offering.
A TEN page in-depth critique of your Novel AND an in-depth critique of your Query.
UPDATE: IF YOU NOVEL IS NOT "READY" THAT'S FINE. I WILL STILL READ THE FIRST 10 PAGES AND GIVE FEEDBACK. IT WON'T BE AS IN-DEPTH AS FOR A FINISHED MS, BUT JUST SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO IMPROVE AND MOVE FORWARD.
Why?
It's simple. The query gets your novel in the hands of an agent or editor. The first ten pages keeps them reading. It's not a guarantee of a sale, but it does make it easier.
So enter the giveaway, and maybe I can help.
This giveaway runs from today (August 1st) through August 3rd.

ReplyDeleteAwesome. Sounds fun!

ReplyDeleteOh very cool. Like the title and story. Good luck!
DeleteI don't want to post the title on the internet (sorry, paranoid someone's going to steal it), but it's a science fiction thriller that balances humor and darkness with relatable characters. It blends science fiction, romance, and technological horror with an urban fantasy twist.
ReplyDeleteOh very cool! Like the concept. And that's fine about the title, I totally get it. :D Good luck!
DeleteYA Light Sci-Fi Title: The Doppelganger Diaries :) It blends humor and contem issues but in another dimension.

DeleteAwesome idea! Thanks for offering this! :) New Adult titled Becoming. After a heart transplant leaves Zoe with a dragon-shifters heart, she starts an online relationship only to discover the boy she's fallen for is her donor and...a girl.
ReplyDeleteI want to read this sooo bad! :D Ever since I heard about it at RT. :D Good luck!
DeleteGreat idea! My novel is a NA contemporary romance. Title: Coming Alive
ReplyDeleteOoo! Like the title! And there's been a lot of push for NA recently. Good luck!
DeleteI wish I had a title for mine, but it's an NA urban fantasy. Here's the first bit I ever wrote for it:
ReplyDelete"A lot of people have crazy exes. Not everybody has an ex whose brand of crazy involves unleashing forbidden magic that will destroy the city.
Yeah, I have terrible taste in women."
Wow! You managed to squeak in at the last minute! :D Also, love that line. :D
DeleteThe writing community really is very generous and helps me keep going on the bad days. What a great way to pay it forward! And congrats to Kel!
ReplyDeleteYes, love the writing community and I loved Kel's story.
