New novel, anyone with time to read?

Danpad

Completed novel, comes in at just over 98k words (first draft was 115k). I'm sure it could do with a fresh pair of eyes 'thrun' at it. If anyone has the time/zest to have a look at the first 1/2/3 chapters(or full MS if you're up for it!) I'd appreciate it.

Cheers

Danpad

P.S sorry, forgot the essentials: Crime, thriller, adult. Can provide a synopsis, didn't want to just throw it up here without permission.

When do you need it done by and what formats can you deliver the draft in? What kind of feedback do you want on it?

Toasterspark

I'll take a look at the first few chapters for you if you want? Might take me a little while to read through but I'll try my best. PM me.

No deadline, have it in a .doc but can convert to pdf or mobi if you like.

Hi, thanks, how would you like to view it?

Toasterspark

.doc, .docx or anything I can view on the laptop is good!

I'll read three or four chapters in DOC no problem but for a full manuscript It would be handier in epub/mobi. I can always convert myself though so feel free to send over whatever you like. Either PM for my email address or if you want to post it to the private writers' forum (Write Club) for feedback it can be arranged.

Danpad

OK, the Write Club would be handy. I'll stick the first three chapters up there if given permission.

@Toasterspark, if you want to pm me your email I'll fire over the first three.

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Danpad has posted this to Write Club if anyone wants to look at it there.

Hi Danpad, I can't access the write club, but would read it for you if you like. Any chance of getting it mailed to me?

You can now

I enjoy a life of crime (reading).

If Pickarooney is good enough to give me access to write club, I'd be happy to read the first three chapters and give some feedback.

You'd better not hear anyone speak of it. That's against rules one and two of Write Club.

For anyone that does have access to Write Club I'm going to request that you do participate in some way in the forum, preferably by way of in-depth, constructive critique.

If you're still in need of eyes to peruse some of your work throw a copy my way. .doc would be ideal.

For anyone who hasn't read this yet I would strongly recommend it.

I'd be happy to have a look.

This book is as good as any thriller I've read recently.

The manuscript is on the Authonomy website, which I hadn't come across before until the author mentioned it. You need to register an account but I haven't received any spam from them, it's owned by Harper Collins.

This is the link to the book:

Ghost Estate

I think it helps the author too if more people have it on their bookshelves.

Access granted. Only the first three chapters are there though; if you want to read the whole thing (and chances are you will) follow the link in the post above yours and register on authonomy.
