first 3 chapters contemporary romance

[Tabitha]

HI all,
I re-worked my first chapter today. I'd like to get some feedback about just this first chapter from a fresh set of eyes. Anyone interested? It's about 2,500 words.
Email me at thapeman628@gmail.com if so.
Thank you!

I read/write literary fiction, and I'd be willing to read & comment on your first chapter. If you like, send the Word document to thegreenheron1980 at gmail dot com.

Thanks, J.R.! I just emailed you.

Hi Tabitha

I normally write Literary Fiction but have been trying my hand at a more commercial style of writing.

I’d be happy to do a swap read of first chapters.

My new book is about a man with six months to live who convinces himself he killed an old woman. I thought it was a straightforward mystery but readers are responding to its gritty realism.

If you’d be interested let me know at

I'd love to swap! I've been struggling to define my genre. I've started calling it 'character-driven' as I'm not sure whether to pitch it as literary or upmarket. If you have an opinion after reading, I'd love to hear it!

Pleas email me at thapeman628@gmail.com

I look forward to reading your work!

That’s great. I’ll get stuff to you.
Best wishes.
