I came across the mention of Litopia at Peter Cox's agency, and the possibility of connecting with other writers really appeals. Here's something I'm hoping to find, and maybe there's someone out there in a similar situation. We could exchange! I've written a novel, in a somewhat paranormal vein. The narrator is likable, and dead--and yet still connected to his wife and his killer through a bizarre linking of bloods that creates deadly reverberations in the living.

Is there someone out there who's willing to read the beginning pages of this? I'd love your take on whether the first five pages or so makes you want to read on, whether the narrator's voice captures your attention. Thanks!

Welcome to the writer's club, if I can call it that. You'll find a friendly bunch here and lots of useful information and thoughts. I'm sure someone can probably offer an opinion. From what I've read and done, one usually edits a novel about 8 times before it's about right. I'm still doing lots of editing whilst slowly working on my 7th novel ;)

Welcome! It sounds like an interesting approach. Is that the 'first person dead' voice then? I'm happy to read a few pages for you, PM me.
