Did you find a match? If not message me on FB or email me at shetoobook@gmail.com - I too have a pitching deadline of March :)
Would you like to swap with my 62k word sci-fi comedy?
blurb: Ten years after William destroys most of the Earth, he designs a simulation to help him decide if it is even worth the trouble of saving what is left of it. Join William as he travels into a simulated future to explore human nature and meet up with Francis, his stark raving mad creator, and Jonathan, Francis's dubious yet benevolent son as they embark on an absurd journey through a utopian 2120 Manhattan.

Hi! I would love to read your book and can do it quickly. I have a YA fantasy called Time Passers I'd love to swap. The summary is below. I hope we can work together!Far before the Crown of Caelae came to Mirabelle, it was found in the hands of Ilea Sukarno when she was led into the kingdom of Perez by the desert’s most notorious assassins, the Jarhira. After an accidental display of her magical abilities, Ilea sets out to rescue the slaves of Perez as well as to discover why her old acquaintance, a Shadow Bearer who calls himself Leviathan, has made himself close to the kingdom’s ruling court. Her quest does not go as planned, however, when she crosses paths with the youngest son and daughter of the ruling family, Perez’s once most wanted criminal, her own past, and her own god Elyon who is unleashing plagues that will leave Perez – and its people – broken forever.



I'm looking for a fast swap where we would read each other's work and provide high-concept feedback within 2 weeks. (I'm going to a writer conference and have the potential of getting an agent.)
I promise to still be thorough and involved in the critique process! It's all the same, just on x4 speed, haha.
My blurb:
On October 12th at midnight, Ari turned 16. So on October 12th at 2:11 a.m., she went monster hunting. It's something she's done hundreds of times before- break into old construction sites, traverse through sewer drainage pipes, and now, run through the grey streets of New York, New York looking for the monsters that murdered her brother. The monsters everyone says don't exist. But tonight, she finds them. And they are not like monsters at all, much more like friends.
Thrown into a world of exiled fairy tale characters where everyone is both a pawn and puppet-master, Ari fights to keep the door of her heart closed against the gang of dirty pyromaniacs living in the sewer. She fights extra hard to keep a certain golden-eyed pirate out. But when their path to an official pardon for their crimes coincide with her quest to find her brother, Ari finds herself with more hearts than she can handle. Giving in might mean losing her brother. Again. But giving in might also mean finding a home and a family for the first time in years.
Open to swapping with any genre! DM me or comment here if you're interested.
Thanks and happy writing!
