Critiques from Readers and Fellow Authors

For over a year now, I have been a member of Scribophile. It is a website where authors and readers can get together to post and read. It covers everything, from short stories to full length novels. Critiques are left for the authors, often by fellow authors, but also by people just there to read. The feedback is usually very helpful, especially from those who write it in-line with the text rather than as a chunk at the bottom. Authors can request readers to concentrate on specific areas, or invite general comments. Today I am celebrating finishing the first full draft of my military science fiction novel, Liberty. I'd like to thank all those who have contributed critiques so far. Without your support, getting this far would have been a lot more painful. I'd also like to invite others to read and critique (http://www.scribophile.com/authors/alasdair-shaw/works/). Individual chapter feedback is welcome, though it would also be great to hear from someone who reads through the entirety of it, even if they don't crit individual chapters. The novel follows on from the short story Independence (http://lrd.to/xZJGd4yPXo) and will be followed by the novels Equality, Fraternity and Unity. Hopefully it also works as a stand-alone book. Scribophile has been invaluable in crafting my work so far. I intend to continue to use it in the years to come...
