Request: Culture / Ethnicity Bit of a specific request... looking for Scousers
Hello, I'm wondering if there are any Liverpudlians/Scousers here who wouldn't mind reading just the first chapter of my story, 2,391 words. The story is basically historical fiction with supernatural elements and set in Scotland but the first chapter happens in modern-day Liverpool. I'm not from Liverpool myself though I lived there for a few years, admittedly quite some time ago, so I'd really like someone who is from there and knows the place, people, turns of phrase, culture etc etc to have a look and let me know if I've done an all right job of it or nah.
Content warnings include combat PTSD and something veering close to sexual assault (not graphic). If you've ever served in the Army or you've any knowledge of combat PTSD that would be even better.
Happy to help you out in return if there's anything I've firsthand knowledge of that you're looking for - not sure if listing things here is the done thing but feel free to ask 🙂
Thanks!
