I love reading about the experience of other writers, and I'm glad you decided to share! Having a complete manuscript is always a great start, and it's so exciting that you have more ideas lined up to work on. I'm currently working on my second novel after having queried the first to encouraging response though nothing has panned out at this point, and I spent years scribbling short stories before a novel idea swooped in about three years ago and took over completely. If you're thinking about having someone read your pages, feel free to tell me a little bit more about it through a message, and we'll figure out if I'll be a good fit for your story or what you might be looking for in terms of feedback. I'm no expert but I exchange pages with other writers regularly, so if that's something you're interested in, let me know!

This is so exciting!!!! If you do eventually want someone to read it, I would love to, and perhaps I am abstract enough to you that my edits or feedback won't hurt you?? Not that I expect it will need harsh editing! Also I have done some freelancing, if you want any advice on that front :) A really good thing to do is to write for the student publication if your uni has one too! I wrote for ours, and then was the editor for (one of) my uni's student publications and it was such a great experience. I loved reading about your recent ventures :)

thank you for the kind words!! :) :) I hadn't even thought about seeing if my uni has some sort of student publication, I'll definitely look into that! And if I'm ever feeling brave enough to have someone else read over it, I'll be sure to reach out :) Thanks for reading!!
