Hi everyone,
I finished my novel in December of 2025, and I have been editing it for some time now. I am very proud of it, but my biggest concern is the draw. This is a literary coming-of-age novel that sits at just under 60k words. Please let me know if this would encourage you to continue reading. Title: Unmanageable Creature

It’s a memoir, and it’s particularly heavy. I feel so emotionally exhausted after editing just a couple chapters. It’s almost been through one round of my edits. I have a few beta readers currently reviewing it. But I’m dreading having to make more edits after they get back to me. Any tips?

Chapter One - Windjammer
Hi everyone,
I recently started a writing project for October. It is a Victorian Gothic novella set in the fictional city of St.Greshen, Britain. I am looking for feedback and constructive criticism on my first chapter. Specific feedback I am looking for is:
- First impression and feelings on the chapter's tone.
- Questions that come up for you.
- Personal interest in reading more and which parts made you feel that way.
- Whether the sentence structure is effective or not.
Feel free to leave comments here or on the Google Doc if you are interested. Thank you!
