Daniel (goodreadscomdaniel_robledo) | 24 comments Greetings everyone,

I have a fantasy short story in need of some beta-reading. In exchange I'll read any short story of similar length, or even an excerpt from your novel. My preferred genre is literary fiction, but I'll read anything that is well written and has a strong narrative hook.

Comment below if you're interested and I'll DM you with my email.

Hi Mae,

I'd love to read your story. Feel free to either send me the link or email a digital copy here: danielchristopherrobledo@gmail.com

Let me know what kind of feedback you're looking for.

Here's the link to my story 'The Orc': https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H...

At this point this story has already been edited a dozen times, so what I primarily want to know are these two things: 1) how can I refine it. 2) Is this story any good? Don't feel bad telling me if it's mediocre, or even flat out terrible. At this point I'm debating whether to chuck it in the trash or start submitting it to publishers.

Thanks
Daniel
