AN OFFER OF ROMANCE FOR THE LADIES OF BN

Post by Mottola-Buffett »

This request goes out to ladies only... Sorry guys.

I'm looking for a couple of women interested in reading a 200 page manuscript for a novel I've written and providing feedback.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PROFESSIONAL EDITOR OR PROOFREADER OR ENGLISH TEACHER OR SUCH, JUST A REGULAR JOE... I MEAN JANE, THAT IS. The only prerequesite is that you enjoy light romantic suspenses. (And this one happens to be completely Buffettesque in theme.)

I'm rather anxious for feedback; therefore, a quick turn-around would be greatly appreciated. (Quick, meaning within the next month or two)

Once I find an interested person, I'll PM you with more details, OR you can PM me if you have questions or want more information.

You can't imagine how much I would appreciate some good honest BN feedback.

Thanks,
Lisa

P.S.: Women happen to be my target audience, but if you're a guy that loves a good "chic romance", then, by all means, feel free to reply. [smilie=coolup.gif]

Thanks so much to those of you that have already offered. I am certainly open to more offers if anyone else should be interested. I'll get in touch with each of you later today or some time over the weekend as I've got a crazy day ahead of me.
Thanks again! You can't imagine how much I appreciate this.

Thanks again to all of you ladies and men (yes, some men) that offered to read my story. Unfortunately, I can't get the manuscript out to all of you (I resorted to a name draw), BUT, once it's published, I'll make sure you're all aware, as I have a feeling the Buffettesque theme might interest those of you that like a romance.

So did I, actually.

Now if *I* had started a topic with that subject, the message would be more like, "I want to be your cabana boy!" :)

Yes, absolutely. I once wrote half of a novel, and I've written enough songs so that what's left after some severe critical review fill three albums (third one coming soon!), and I know how much work it is to do all of that. Congratulations! :)

Thanks guys! :D
Actually, one of the most difficult parts of writing this book has been the lack of free time to actually do it. Hard to concentrate when you're constantly interrupted by an 8 yr old, 6 yr old and 3 yr old. Hopefully book #2 won't take me as long to write.
