Speculative (with a hint of literary) ~90k. On memory and immigrant experiences.

[Clint]

Hi all! I'm looking for a critique partner for a completed manuscript (speculative fiction with a hint of literary at ~90k).

It deals with memory and the technologies which mediate it. It also touches upon the experiences of immigrant fathers.

Especially interested in others who would like to do a swap and I'd love to help as much as I can with your project too.

Will be happy to trade a synopsis and chapter at first, and we can see how we go! Looking forward to connecting further.

Hi, I am looking for a critique partner. My WIP novel, in the women’s fiction genre is about 80,000 words. Going through second draft. Not professionally edited yet.

Here is the blurb

Dreamcatcher - an immigrant woman’s emotional journey

Shila, a docile Bengali bride from India, frustrated with her husband’s ambitious career moves in the USA, learns to bring up their daughter in a new culture, far away from home. Her crisis peaks when Asim, her husband gives her an ultimatum. She must choose between him who’d go back to India, or stay in America for their kid, who’d soon go to college.
Shila’s immigrant journey in America during the nineties opens her to a new world where a larger-than-life call awaits. Should she answer to that call, putting the security of her marriage at stake while her innate shyness challenges her growth?
