I'm the lead editor for a small independent press, but I am on maternity leave for the next several years and thus not accepting submissions. I'll tell you my professional opinion on first chapters or short pieces and whether I would have accepted it or rejected it if I was looking for work. I've dealt most with controversial speculative fiction, and I'm most interested in polyamory a.k.a consensual non-monogamy.

Review of My Boys  
Review by K5Rakitan
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello! I found this through the random “Read & Review” feature.

This is a super sweet poem. My son is 2.5, and many days are starting to look like this, though we don't have a consistent bathtime. I typically spray him down after we eat popsicles outside or if he's been playing in the dirt. When we do have a proper bath, it's usually whenever I want a long soak in the tub.

Thanks for sharing your writing :)

Thanks for sharing this very emotional tale. I have a few similar memories, but nothing quite as profound as this.

Hello! I found this through the random “Read & Review” feature.

This reminds me a lot of a big breakup I had. There was no hitting, but there was sleep deprivation, and it took some time for me to realize that the sleep deprivation was physical abuse. I'm sorry you had to go through this.

Hello! I found this through the random “Read & Review” feature.

This looks like a great start to a lovely collection. The first one here has some difficult words to chew on, so I'm not sure how to apply that wisdom to my own life.

Hello! I found this through the random “Read & Review” feature.

This is a lovely recollection. I don't have videos of my ancestors, but I'm taking a lot now, so hopefully my son will have things to show his children and grandchildren.

Review of Oblique  
Review by K5Rakitan
Rated: E
Hello! I found this through the random “Read & Review” feature.

This sounds a lot like what my husband went through and continues to battle to a large extent. Therapy can help a lot with changing your lifestyle and reaching your goals. Husband did a little therapy, but I wish he had stuck with it.

Review of The Sunglasses  
Review by K5Rakitan
Rated: E | (4.0)
Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

Watch out for verb tense consistency. Some of this is in present tense and some is in past tense. I like how the speculations were different from the truth in the end. I suspected that she was blind, but part of me was hoping for some kind of supernatural surprise.

Happy writing, and I hope you enjoy it here!

Review of The Ring  
Review by K5Rakitan
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

This is a great start! I'd sign the non disclosure agreement, personally. Labor was hard, but parenting is harder, and I've heard so many daycare horror stories that I'm not interested in going back to work. Thankfully, I have that choice, but many parents don't.

Also, workplaces are notoriously unsupportive of pumping milk:

Review of Hhh

Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

Is this meant to be a test piece or a placeholder? I recommend drafting your story in a separate program such as MS Word, Open Office, or Google Docs and then copying and pasting it when you are ready to share it.

Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

This is a great start! Keep writing, and I am sure you will improve rapidly.

The grammar could use work. If you want a more in-depth look at sentence structures, I recommend reading "The Elements of Grammar" by Margaret Shertzer.

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

This makes me nostalgic for my university years . . . and a certain professor from the history department. I never took a class from him. He just responded to an ad I wrote back in the days of Craigslist casual encounters.
