I have been writing for a long time, and actually thought of myself as serious about it. That was until I joined WEbook and discovered what really working at it meant. Writing is the hardest "occupation" I have ever had, and the most fulfilling.
I will be happy to read and review your work as time permits, but PLEASE understand, only ask me to look if you want an honest TECHNICAL review. While I appreciate good content, I am especially interested in good grammar, punctuation, spelling, and the PACE of your story.
PLEASE take a look at some of my previous reviews to make sure what I do is what you want. A REALLY GOOD way to get me to check out your work is read some of mine. I am currently showcasing Novels in my NUMBERS Series: FIVE http://www.webook.com/project/FIVE and would greatly appreciate reads and reviews. - I have been fortunate enough to meet and befriend many good writers here at WEbook.
