Welcome Katlin! No need to be a writer. Both readers and/or writers are welcome here. <3

Welcome Marie! I love THG (who does't?) and Harry Potter (again, who does't?). I've actually been very curious about Richelle Mead. Actually got Vampire Academy the other day, so we'll see how that goes!

Welcome Ruth! I'm also a huge dystopian fan! Congrats on your book going out in the world! Looks like you write many different genres. :D

Welcome Christen! Glad to see others share love for reading!

I am 22-year-old RN with a passion for reading and writing. I love old movies (Casablanca anyone?) and I adore the Classic books like Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre). About a year ago, though, I've discovered the fascinating world of Young Adult literature. That fascination really began when I read The Hunger Games, and I've been hooked ever since. I'm also part Korean by my mother. Some of my favorite YA authors include: Lauren Oliver, Ruta Sepetys, Suzanne Collins, Cynthia Hand, Veronica Roth, and Stephanie Perkins. Those are just to name a few.

Here are some other unique facts:

1. I play the piano.
2. I have traveled to Mexico, South Korea, Canada, and China.
3. I love fairytales and disney movies just a little too much.
4. I hate peas (they are gross and mushy!)
5. I have quite an eclectic taste it music (from country to rock, from indie to pop)

Some writers don't show their work to anyone, but you can't get better without some advice. That's why we've set up this thread: to help find someone that would be willing to read and critique your writing. Whether you are starting out and want quick advice, or you have a manuscript you're hoping to revise, this is the place for you.

PLEASE reply with the following information about your WIP:

---

Type: Fiction, prose, poetry, short story? Name it here.
Status: Finished or not?
Word Count: This really only applies to long pieces of fiction, but put an approximate word count here.
Genre: Again, this really applies to short stories and pieces of fiction.
Summary: What's your book about? Try to limit the summary to 200 - 250 words.

---
All this will help give information someone decide if they want to critique your work. If you are someone who is interested in critiquing/Betaing someone's work, send them a personal message where you can exchange further contact details.

So I've challenged myself to read 75 books. I'm also determined to finish off at least 10 series (including Harry Potter, which sadly, I have NOT finished).
