Hello...I hope my questions are not already answered in some place I have not found to read....

I have two complete novels posted, "Billy" and "The Chief, Part one" that I have edited and re edited and rewritten several times and I am sending off query letters to find a publisher.

I thought perhaps some critiques and comments might be of some help...

I have read several long stories and commented on Literotica and have not had the critiques returned on my own work, so perhaps this is a way. Do your reviewers looke at novels...or just single stories?

thank you...amicus....

Hi Amicus,

I think we'll keep volunteers for vivesection--I mean constructive critique-- in the first thread, and make a queue. I think a whole novel is asking a lot, but if you'd like to hear about, for example, a first chapter, that would seem fine. (Other chapters are harder, but not impossible, since there would have to be a summary of preceding action.)

All this is done 'grass roots' style until our true moderator gets past her urgent personal demands.

Best,
pure

Hi amicus,

There are two threads for comment, as of now, the most recent being 'slick's'. I hope to see you. Remember this is *exchange* of service, and you were asking for comments on a _novel_.

Best,
J.

Hello Pure...I think due to time considerations I will withdraw my request for a critique of my work. Thank you for responding, regards....amicus...

Stop by again. I don't think you'd find giving someone a half hour of your time too onerous, but if you're a single dad of 12 kids, I understand.

Consider the time which you are asking strangers to spend.

It's all about 'free exchange', where both sides see the gains, and neither has to coerce or be coerced. An interesing concept.
