Sonia | 28 comments Looking to swap the first few chapters of my most recent draft with someone to hear first impressions and overall thoughts!! Would be interested in reading almost any genre! Here's my blurb-->

A weary soldier trying to live honorably in a world of deception.
A pretentious leader with a sharp tongue and undying spirit.
A broken jokester desperate to forget his haunting past.
A withdrawn intellect with nothing to lose.

In a world that smells blue and seeps red, Ginia Petrovski is sick and tired of the life she’s been living. She is desperate for an escape from Enevia—all that’s left of their war-ruined country—and the controlling rule of their president. But when a parade turned assassination leaves their leader dead and their city in chaos, Ginia’s wish is granted…kind of.
She is kidnapped from her home and taken to an underground compound filled with legendary spies presumed dead. It’s here she learns that her mother is their Commander who’s been subtly training Ginia her entire life to help lead a rebellion against Enevia.
As she integrates into the unruly world of rebels, Ginia wrestles with whether her loyalties should lie with the rebellion or perhaps something else altogether. She and her unlikely crew cut through buried lies to find the truth before they lose everything.

Rain Moretti | 12 comments Hello! I would be interested in swapping if you still are. I am also writing a dystopian but more for a middle grade audience:

Summary:

The cyberpunk city of Reka is an advanced society built from a past world. Under the guidance of government cooperation, Vector, citizens live a perfect life without the distractions of books, relationships, or history.
Fourteen year old Frances Klouse has been in hiding for the last four years, working as a con artist and trying to stay under the radar as much as possible.
Twelve year old TJ has recently been recruited as a scavenger, someone whose sole job is to destroy anything left of the old world. But when his friend disappears after going against everything the city believes in, TJ starts an investigation of his own.
Forced into working together, Frances and TJ are thrusted into a search for what is rumored to be the last video camera, all while being hunted by enemies at every turn. TJ will have to face the secrets he has always managed to escape from while Frances will finally have to face the past she’s been running from for so long.

But yeah, let me know if you’d be interested in working together. Let me know if you have any questions at all.

Thanks,

Erin
