beta request (original work)

[poppyseedheart]

Hi babes!

I have a couple of short stories I'm about to send on submission — one has done a short round ages ago and got some sweet personalized rejections but didn't land anywhere, and the other hasn't been submitted anywhere yet. Together they total to under 3,000 words. They are weird, think speculative litfic/high concept absurdism. If any of you tend to read or write shortform fiction yourself, either in the general/litfic genre or the more speculative genre, I'd love some feedback before I embark upon some more submission rounds.

Thank you in advance! <3

Depends on how quickly you want things back and what level beta you want? I'm ESL enough not to trust my prepositions always but if you want general 'this works/doesn't/wtf is this' type of sounding board I'm game... And may then ask for the same in return at some future point if you're amenable. PM me for my email if you want :)

twig I am absolutely happy to read over the works for you and the lengths are super do-able!! send it to my email which is just my dw user name @ outlook . com

Send me the website of the journals you're eying, or a PDF copy of their recent editions if you have it, I'll try to get a sense of what they're publishing before I read :D
