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.

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

You’ve painted a vivid picture with your words, and I've always had a soft spot for science fiction, so this was a very enjoyable read.

Happy writing, and I hope you enjoy it here!

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

The word choices here are interesting, but perhaps too convoluted, as I can't make sense of the meaning behind them.

Review of A Little Get Away  Open in new Window.
Review by K5Rakitan Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

You've painted a vivid picture in just a few words. I have to say that the protagonist is unlikable, but perhaps that's part of the point.

Happy writing, and I hope you enjoy it here!

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

I've felt similarly at times but quickly turned to the comfort of my own imagination. Writing these things down also helps me to manifest them into reality to a certain extent.

Review of The New Woman  Open in new Window.
Review by K5Rakitan Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

This provides a lot of food for thought. I think that joy is best when shared, and individualist cultures have forgotten how to do that. Pretty much every psychology course I took started off by pointing out the differences between individualist and collectivist cultures.

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

This was very informative. My mom taught me how to crochet a child, but I'm out of practice. I'd like to teach my kid and re-learn in the process. Do you happen to know of some good YouTube videos for beginners, especially kids?

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

It takes a lot of bravery to share these experiences. I hope that this will help others who have gone through similar things not feel so alone and will help break cycles of behavior as well.

Try reducing 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, increase sentence structure variety, and cut down on unnecessary words.

Happy writing, and I hope you enjoy it here!

These sound like some very traumatic and defining experiences. Even when the details are changed to protect the specific people involved, it is valuable to share these stories.

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

This is a good start, though I was confused by "bark on a place." Was that a typo for park or back or something?

My first piece here was also a grief piece. I'm sorry for your loss and I know the pain will never fully go away, but you can at least heal partially with time.

Review of "Friend"  Open in new Window.
Review by K5Rakitan Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

I've felt that way in several scenarios in high school. I wound up getting an autism diagnosis at age 35. I had records of being "emotionally disturbed" in elementary school and not being able to read body language of peers. Learning to read body language is something I worked on in my twenties. I put a lot of effort into social interactions because they don't come naturally to me. I find being in groups particularly draining.
