Charity Bradford at My Writing Journey is having a first anniversary give away. She is offering one free first chapter critique for every ten people who enter.
Her critiques consist of a lot of comments. She generally writes whatever pops into my head as she reads. For instance:
- what she likes
- if something is confusing
- questions that she's asking
- passive voice
- anything that throws me out of the story
- telling when you could show
- grammar and mechanical issues
The goal is to give you a glimpse into the mind of your reader.
- Is she asking the questions you WANT her to be asking?
- Is she hooked on your characters? Setting? Premise?
- Would she like to read more?
This is a great offer.

I will check into it, but I have to tell you, if someone gave me my chapter back as highlighted as the one shown is, I might faint.
