I'm sending the 46k one to beta readers. I feel like it's ready to be looked at by others. The 66k is also being looked at by others too, just less so. I think it's almost ready.
Are you going to ask for money or for a review? I don't do that. Just swaps and one ways.
Are you going to ask for money or for a review? Because I don't do that.
I have two novels in the beta reading trenches at the moment. Why do you ask?
You can check my linktree and see. :)
I love critting big novels. Two critted novels ago was around a 150k and three critted novels ago was a 190k. I do have a warning. I'm currently critting a 60k something. Once I'm done with that I'm happy to crit your work. :)
I h8 bots and scams too. I h8 it when someone runs my story through generative AI. shivers
I'm looking for anything goes: developmental, in-line, proofreading (SPaG). I completed the 46k this year, while the 66k one has been through a lot of slush piles and beta readers.
What are you looking for?
Are you looking for swaps? I have two fantasy novels (66k and 46kish) that are also looking for readers. Please reply if interested, we'll chat here, and then head to dms if comfortable.
I don't want this to be a can of meat, but I am looking for someone to swap with. If you are interested in my fantasy novels, I'd be happy to swap with you. Please respond here if interested. We'll chat here and then possibly head to dms.
An editor
The sidekick
The keyboard
The plot
Am I right?
Check out my latest short story, "Dragon Runs on Coffee," a fantasy about a human and a dragon trying to navigate their way into an audition.

I've been in a revision kind of mood as of late.
I have several short stories in slush piles at the moment, with some of them in waiting. I have two novels with one of them freshly new. The MG novel is going to see agents after one beta read while the YA novel needs lots of attention. I'd be happy to provide a better inkling of the novels in dms.
The link is already in the post.
Honestly, I don't want to look at it again. I have it saved somewhere, but I don't think it's good enough. Also, some of the characters promote a publication that uses gen ai art, so I'm not particularly proud of the novella. I have other work to look at anyways.
Think it was a case of too many protagonists. Also, I was trying to squeeze a lot into a small space.
Yeah, followed.
Are you sure you want to do a one way crit? I do have one story in my beta reading queue, but I'm almost done with it.
Show me your passion for speculative literature. Why do you like it so much?
A new short story is out. Please check out "How a Phoenix Comes Back," one of my more darker tales. #writingcommunity

Do you have work that needs to be read?
Trunked. It didn't wind up working.
I need beta readers. Requirements:
1. NO GEN AI CRITS
2. SWAPS, I'M NOT PAYING MONEY AND I'M NOT GIVING REVIEWS ON FIVVER.
3. EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE.
Comment below and we'll chat about our works in public and DMs.
For me, anything goes, developmental, inline, proofreading. I'm looking for swaps. do you have something that needs reading?
I'm looking for swaps and I cannot pay.
I'm looking for swaps. And I cannot pay.
Hey, I have a urban fantasy YA novel of 46k words with a comedic tone that needs beta readers. I've been meaning to connect with other people on bluesky, and I think we need to be following each other before we can dm. I have a very small queue but let's chat. :)
I've been beta reading, and I picked up a longer piece to beta read. :) So i'll be busy with that for the next week. :)
I spent my afternoon revising my novel. I wonder how it will fare in the future.
I spent a handful of hours looking at my owl novel. I wonder how betas will receive the novel.
700 words into a different document. It's a freewrite using old characters in new situations. I wonder how that will turn out.
I don't want to make a big deal about it, but I have two short stories that are available for awards: "Ding Meets Blink" and "Pala." Both of them can be found in my linktree. :)
