    I could do it in the new year, but I've committed to getting draft 2 of mine finished by mid January so I won't have room in my head for other stories.

    Thanks for the offer, I'm on my fourth draft! I'll get back to you. If like me, when going through a draft it always takes me longer than I have calculated.

    If you'd like to pm me a rough idea of what it's about/genre I'll tell you if I'll give it a go. Reading nothing at mo.
