Hello there.

Looking for someone to basically give me feedback as I go along my current project. I can do the same. I'm probably going to send about 45k but I can read up to 60, possibly more if the writing is very clean.

I crit bluntly, with some humor. I also work fast and efficiently. So if you're a '3 years to write a book' type, we probably aren't the best fit.

My MS is a character driven story with two protagonists: a villain protagonist who is a sociopath and eventually a murderer, and a dead protagonist narrating from...beyond. Basically about a peeping tom who befriends the girl he watches only to find out she's nothing like his idealized version of her. He starts to lose his mind. His character arc is a deconstruction. It's dark. I write dark. With sex and violence and other uncomfortable topics. PM me if you're interested.

I can send along the first page if you want.
