Kell | 3 comments Hello,

I am currently rewriting a 72k coming-of-age novel from third person to first person. It's my first time writing in this POV and I would love to have someone experienced in this area (even just as a reader) to send chapters to and get feedback chapter by chapter as I write it.

I am a broke college student so this is not a paid position, but I am happy to do the same for the other person on their writing.

I feel like this would be good for both parties because we'd be encouraged to continue writing while also receiving feedback.

Please let me know if this is something you're interested in by telling me the following:
- if you like reading this type of material
- what you are currently working on

I'm open to many genres. Thank you!

Ally | 20 comments Hi I would love to read your story, I’m especially interested in it being a fantasy. I’m also writing a fantasy with some lgbtq characters for kids around 12-14, get back to me if you’d like to work together:)

Alex | 8 comments Hey, Kell!

This sounds awesome! I love the LGBTQ+ genre, and I'm also a writer! I'm currently writing an ongoing series (it's an LGBT romance horror) and I agree with you. Having a buddy to encourage each other through their own writing process is a really great idea! I also work with both first and third person (mostly first), so this sounds like a really interesting and fitting project to me! I'd love to hear more about your story.

In terms of feedback, I can write my ongoing comments and thoughts on the document itself as I'm reading and I can also write a mini report (sort of thing) for each chapter. If you have any specific questions you want to ask too, I'd be more than happy to answer them!

Feel free to message me on here. I have Discord too, so if that'd be easier, just send me your Discord tag and I'll send you a message if you're interested :)

Alex

Quinn Huang | 23 comments Hi! i'm not sure if you're still looking, but i'd love to swap critiques if you are. i love reading coming of age/contemporary YA and am queer myself, so this is right up my ally; it's what I mostly read anyways. my current WIP is also an LGBTQ+ contemporary YA, so i feel like we might be a great fit and swap fresh ideas to enrich our manuscripts. feel free to message me on here if you're interested :)
