This is my first attempt at a science fiction novel. I'm looking for honest feedback. Be savage, be complimentary, be funny, but above all, be geniune.

Be happy to help. I’ve some expertise as author of several how-to references for Writer’s Digest. Published fiction at several legacy houses like Dell, Penguin, and Berkley. I’ve been a newspaper editor and magazine editor and worked at major papers, including the Dallas Morning News.

In return, you’d visit my “sometimes-funny, sometimes-disturbing” Substack novel and comment occasionally AND fire off the occasional ping to your list to recommend it. (I don’t want “honest feedback.” I want praise. And I need for everybody on your Ping list to further recommend to at least half a dozen others on social media.)

I could remark publicly in posts here to inspire discussion among our learned colleagues. Or go private. Your call.

Deal?

Seems like you simply wanted someone to proofread your novel. ;-)
