Hi, I new here, so tell me if I am stating the obvious. To post work and obtain critique is impractical for anything over a thousand words. For anybody who is interested, and operating in the same genre as me. I will happily exchange work directly via email.

I stress, I am more interested in \'style\' than grammar. Below I will list my progress. If any body wants to peruse a random chapter, just ask.

You might want to check out critiquecircle.com. How many you can post depends on how many points you get by critiquing other people's work, but they have a lot of different genre's and tools. That way those who do want to read your stuff can read and critique it. It might help on there to publish one or two chapters at a time, so that people don't have to take all afternoon to read and critique. Plenty of people do that. Kate
