Hello All
As advised, I'd like to introduce myself. I am an aspiring (i.e. currently unpublished) author seeking a forum for advice, feedback and critical input. Equally, if my 'day job' background and expertise (biomedical research, biotechnology) could be of use to anybody, I'd be happy to help where I can. Currently, I have about 35 short stories, in 5 collections of 7, and if anybody might be willing to offer critical input, it would be most appreciated - but I imagine this forum is inundated with such requests.
I also have a question which somewhat qualifies the above request; which is, to what extent does material provided over this forum breach the requirement of many publishers that work submitted to them should not be previously published, including on blogs, websites, etc? I don't want to shoot myself in the foot by disseminating my work too broadly.....
All comments and advice welcome, and I hope to participate in many collaborations with like-minded individuals over the coming months.
