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.

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

I jumped into the middle of this, so I haven't had a chance to get familiar with the characters.

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.

Keep up the great work, and I'm sure you'll improve rapidly!

Thanks for sharing your writing :)

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

I find it odd that Greek deities have influence in Washington. Indigenous peoples have their own sets of deities, and I'd like to see them holding influence over the land.

The airhead joke was cute, though.

Thanks for sharing your writing :)

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

I feel much the same way about writing. Now that I've become a parent, however, I don't even have my hands free very often, and when I do, my brain isn't geared up for writing. My son is currently taking a ride on my husband's back while he cooks dinner and my son is hollering every time he drops whatever toy I gave him two minutes ago.

Happy writing, and I hope you enjoy it here!

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

This is an intriguing story. Now that I'm a mom, I'm curious about whose milk the narrator drank. A world without restaurants seems like it would also be a world without infant formula.

This is a very sweet story. Personally, I begged my parents for a cat, but they got me a dog first, and I loved them both.

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

This poem carries some powerful emotions. Humans are generally not wired to be alone. We have a biological drive to find companionship. Without it, our species would not exist.

The focus on the black man came off as racist, though.

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

I've always preferred winter sports to other sports, too. Perhaps it's because I've never lived in a place that gets cold enough to have winter sports outdoors.

Review of Alan  
Review by K5Rakitan
Rated: 18+ | (4.0)
Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

This was a lovely piece. You go a bit heavy on the -ing verbs, though. Something that ends with ing is in continuous tense, meaning that the action is ongoing. It's best to use it when someone is doing two things at the exact same time.

Happy writing, and I hope you enjoy it here!

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

This is a great start! Since this is tagged as an action story, I recommend diving into the action sooner to hook the reader.

The puppy was a cute surprise. Given that wolves are mammals, I'm wondering whose milk the puppy will drink. However, in a fantasy universe, the puppy could easily live on mana or something along those lines.

Thanks for requesting my review!

I like the colorful metaphors used to portray emotions in this piece.

I like the way you explained how they were not obligated to follow the law and could do however they pleased.

The ending was short but very satisfying.

I think this piece would be perfect in an anthology of related stories.
