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.

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

I've noticed that you use both present and past tense here. I recommend choosing one verb tense for presenting your story.

Review of Silent Shadow  
Review by K5Rakitan
Rated: 18+ | (4.0)
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.

Review of This is a test.  
Review by K5Rakitan
Rated: E | (4.0)
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 reminds me of a few people I still have feelings for. Humans were never meant to be separated like this. Thankfully, we were built to fall in love with different people.

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

Things were like this for me once, but now my first love has company. It was quite a relief when I fell in love again, but it did not make me love my first love any less.

My dad likes to say, "One monkey is no monkey." We were certainly not meant to do this alone, and I often share this article with other parents: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/12/...

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

Motherhood makes me feel like this a lot. The kid is literally draining me. He's draining my mammary glands, and I feel like my creative juices are getting drained at the same time.
