    • YA/NA novels
    • short stories

Here are my rules:
    • fill out the form
    • make sure the link works!
    • only one chapter at a time (I want to read the first chapter and go from there)
    • please be patient and understanding, I am an university student so I will only review when I have the time, however you can send me a reminder PM if you want
    • please let me know if you want me to follow your novel

My Promise:
    • I will spend my time working and trying to help you and your work improve

Please understand if...
    • I only review the first chapter of your novel (I don't usually follow novels since it's more of a time commitment and I'm usually too busy, but I'm willing to try).

Here's your reminder from me!

Title: The Chosen Grandma
Link: The Chosen Grandma folder so you can start with the prologue or chapter one, your choice.
Type of Literature: Novel
Genre(s): Fantasy/humor
Blurb or Summary of Previous Chapters: Your typical Chosen One story, except that the Chosen One is an eighty-three-year-old nursing home resident named Edna Fisher.
Other Information (requests): Any feedback is appreciated, critical or positive! What do you like or dislike about the characters, plot, description (nm I know there's practically no description in this one oops)? How's the pacing? Anything that could be cut out in future drafts? Plot notes are particularly appreciated since that's the part I have the most trouble with in revision (and drafting, really just at every step).

Link: The Moon Needs Her Night Chapter 7

Title: Mixing Magic
Link: Mixing Magic [Draft 2]: Chapter 1
Type of Literature: Novel
Genre(s): Fantasy
Blurb or Summary of Previous Chapters: Ayda is a fairy who loves traveling and woodworking. Her family travels throughout the Three Kingdoms as merchants for six months out of the year. But this year, their trip keeps getting delayed. All Ayda wants is to leave already, but an ancient enemy of her land is resurfacing, and when Ayda finds a human girl in the forest, she is launched into the center of a crisis, with her new friend the tipping point that could determine the fate of the Three Kingdoms.
Other Information (requests): Don't feel like you need to review every chapter - just if you have comments on it. I'd generally prefer more overall-story critique rather than on individual paragraphs, etc., and I also like general reader reactions that may not be specifically critique. And thank you very much!
We're all stories in the end.

I think of you as a fairy with a green dress and a flower crown and stuff.

I think you, @Deanie and I are like the Three Book Nerd Musketeers of YWS.

Work Title: Out of Reach [1]
Link: Out of Reach [1]
Type of Literature: Short story
Genre(s): Realistic + dramatic
Blurb: Adam Khair (preferred to be called as Ada) is a transgender boy. Set in a Malaysia setting where transsexualism is frowned upon, his struggles are seen from the perspective of his best friend, Daniel.
Other Information: Would love it if you touch on plot, characters, setting/imagery/description, etc. instead of grammar nitpicks (keep them to a minimum of 2/3 if you think they're really needed).

Thanks for the consideration! :D
