I'm willing in two weeks if that time frame works for you.

I'm available and willing if you are still looking for crits. :)

Can I request a read after the inevitable revisions from the first round of critiques?

Yep, (closest to a thumbs up)

After many, many, MANY hours of revision, my first ever submission to Writers of the Future sold to Metaphorosis. It's titled "Shards." This is my first story sale *ever* after, um, five years of straight rejections. And it's the basis for the cover art! You can read it here: https://maga...

Congrats Milo!

Congrats! Any sell is a win!

Looking for 1 or 2 Alpha readers. Grammar should be good, commas, are all over the place, but does the story work? 4400 words. I can return an under 10k swap after Aug 5th. wotf009 Congrats on getting through the 1st draft. Although two have already offered, I'd be more than willing to give it a lo...

http://blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-gothic/gothic-fantasy-successful-submissions-strange-lands Great news, everyone! I've sold a story to Flame Tree Publishing's "Strange Lands" anthology! It's going to be available in the UK in October and the US in November. wotf007 Congrats!! S...

I'll take a look too. :) Won't be able to get back to you until end of next week though.

Grats and darn. I enjoyed the heck out of that story.[/quote]

Aw, thanks. Nice of you to say! Congrats on the Silver!

HM for me. I was hoping this story would reach a little higher after these edits, but I'll take it.

Wow that's awesome! You too, Henkel.

Good luck to everyone in for Q3 or about to be!!!!

Congrats Milo! You've been on a roll lately!

Guthington, so sorry to hear. My thoughts are with you!!

Good luck to everyone that has submitted for Q3 or plans to! I'm sitting this one out to give myself more time to finish and polish my story.

But if anyone is looking for some last minute crits, let me know. I'm game.

I am excited to share that DisgruntledPeony and I co-wrote a story that has been selected for publication in the Hold Your Fire anthology from WordFire Press! Proceeds from the anthology go to fund the scholarship we received. It’s a shiny ToC as well- at least one other forumite is with us but I’l...

Plus entries in two Flash comps in Scrib. Awesome! How did those go? This quarter has been slow going for me. With the kids jumping around and needint to be homeschooled (only another week left, yay!!!) while I work from home, I've finished my work days exhausted. I'm sure many of you understand th...

Like Pumpkin said--don't sweat it if you're moving at a different pace. Try not to stress if things don't go according to plan; for me, at least, this year seems to defy all attempts at planning. Just do what you can, and know that simply finding time to put in the effort right now is a win. wotf00...

Do you mean this quarter you won't have anything or last quarter? And you wrote two stories simultaneously? Nice job

I will too. Send me a PM.

If you're looking for more crits, I'm willing. PM me.

My first draft is not even yet a first draft -- it's still only about two thirds complete, and even that two thirds is peppered through with my common marking: [...], highlighted yellow, which means "something goes here, but I either don't know what, or haven't figured out quite how to write i...

Thanks Dustin, I sent you an email.

If anyone is willing, I have a first 450 that I'd like someone to look at and tell me what they think.

I have permission to announce! wotf059 wotf059 I got third place. Joni called me Monday and I’m still glowing. It feels so darn good to finally get the win. This piece was an HM a year ago. I made a small but crucial change, lopped 10% out of the first couple pages, and now it hits all the right no...

So... since all the other results have gone out I should be in the clear for announcing: wotf058 This is my sixth time up at the plate. Will I actually get the home run this time? Here's hoping! I got the call Monday but Joni asked me to keep quiet until she had sent out all the results (and contac...

HM for me.

Sabine, I hope you're OK! Spain was hit hard. You weren't able to get a test? Good idea changing the opening. Especially after Dave said to consider how many of those type he may get. Thanks Dustin. I'm fine now, and no test. By mid March in Spain, they were pretty much only testing if you went to ...

I'm super excited to be in Q2. Just want to reiterate that in Q3. So I'm working away on my Q3 so I can be IN here, too! I'll probably send a PM or two in the next week. Way to go! I'm currently finishing up a rather long 'short' story I had originally planned for Q2, but got sick with a suspected ...

I'm in. Submitted a previous HM.
