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.

This was a very informative piece. Personally, I enjoyed learning about Samsonite because I got a piece on my mother's recommendation.

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

Try avoiding forms of the verb “to be” such as is, are, was, were, etc. This is known as passive language. Using more colorful verbs can greatly strengthen your writing and cut down on unnecessary words.

Example: His hands were fidgeting and his eyes were glancing around.
-->
He fidgeted while glancing around.

Review of And now I wonder  
Review by K5Rakitan
Rated: E | (5.0)
Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

Thank you for sharing these deeply personal thoughts. Writing about these things is a great way to process your feelings and let others who have had similar experiences know they are not alone.

I have similar feelings about my first love from 2007. At the beginning of 2009, I made a decision to be non-monogamous because I had to leave room for him in my life, but I also had to move on with my life, I didn't know the word polyamory then, but as soon as I learned the word, I knew that was my answer. I got married in 2018, and my boyfriend also attended the wedding. I tried contacting my first love about it, but I received no answer. I still dream of him, though.

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

Thank you for sharing these deeply personal thoughts. Writing about these things is a great way to process your feelings and let others who have had similar experiences know they are not alone.

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

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

This is great to know! I'm in my thirties, and I'm in the process of getting assessed for autism because of some difficulties in my marriage. I believe that a diagnosis was missed in elementary school, and I was labeled "emotionally disturbed" until I learned how to mask it. However, now that I have a toddler, it seems my masking skills have gone out the window.

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

This is quite terrifying. I've seen some downright horrible suggestions coming from Google AI, including suicide. Going to AI for personal issues in an absolute no with our current state of technology. This piece could be greatly improved if you addressed such concerns.
