help wanted

[cornerofmadness]

I belong to a couple of writers groups. They're good but there is a problem. Because everyone is reading everyone else's work it's slow going. The two novels I have right now would take on average two-three years to complete. I would like to move a tad faster. In fact two of the novels I have right now HAVE been through both groups (None of which found the problems the agent did with Machiavelli Moon so there is that).

Anyhow, I was hoping to find someone on the flist that would like to read and edit one of the novels (I could trade the same services) one a chapter by chapter basis (or the whole thing if you're masochistic.

Machiavelli Moon - Easily the easiest to give you in full though right now I'm revamping things (can be made availble with the critiques from the agent so you can see if I'm actually making the changes correctly) This is a murder mystery set in Deadwood SD (Yes a lot of you have already read and loved this and despaired of it being published) WIth vampires and werewolves as the protagonists.

Until the Ice Breaks - This is a young adult novel centered on a frozen world where Makai, a young man and his two companions have to find out who's trying to assassinate the lord of the manor.

Ties that Bind - evil_little_dog and I are reworking this one, set in the same universe as Makai's, it's the story of his grown up relatives and their attempts to stop the invasion of the human world (strict fantasy setting here)

If you'd like to read any of these, leave your email (i'll be screening) since I would like to get these into shape and to the agents. Thanks.
