Fast YA Readers Wanted
« on: May 04, 2006, 06:06:21 PM »
Hi all.  I've just finished the second draft of a YA fantasy I want to send off to an agent--hopefully as early as the end of next week.  The only problem is that all my usual readers (EUOL, MsFish, CtrlZed among them) have already read it.  If anyone's interested, I'd love to have some fresh eyes--but time is really important to me right now.  It's about 50,000 words, and I've been told it's a fast read.  I've found some other readers, but I'd like more.  Any takers?

I'm off from this afternoon until Tuesday and I'd love to read it.  

Second thought I'll PM you my email if you don't have it.

There should now be a copy in your email listed in TWG, Brenna.  Is that the right one?  Thanks a buhzillion.

I sent a copy to you Oldie.  Thanks so much for volunteering.  Hopefully it isn't too painful.

I'd be happy to read it, and I technically am a YA so that should help.:)

E and Pastor, copies should be in your TWG-listed emails as we speak.  Tell me if you have any trouble with opening them or anything.  Thanks once again.
