I'm making a decision about whether or not to expand a super hero novella of mine into a proper novel and rather than publish it and get no comments (as usual), I was wondering if anyone would commit to reviewing it, either as chapters are posted or at the end.

I'd post the chapters here as another thread.

I'd be willing to take a look at it, for what it's worth.

Yes, especially since I was planning to post some writing (re-writing) I've done. We should be open and willing to critque each other!

I'll be happy to do it. But I would prefer to review the whole thing, rather than piecemeal.

I'd read it James. I have, in the past, done work as a proofreader. I also have an honours degree in English Lit (that I've done nothing with). I'd like to read it.

I have two functioning eyes, and a workable knowledge of the English language (written and spoken). I feel I am eminently qualified.

To all posters and any interested: one doesn't need qualifications to be part of the review group. I'm looking to see what works, what doesn't, what you like or not, and the whys. If you can communicate this, that's all that matters.

It will take effort and commitment to expand this piece and I am simply trying to see if it will be worth my time to do so, especially since I have the third IMWAN 4 comic book, the second IMWAN 4 radio play, and the Tina Terrific piece all on the table already and all sorts of other real-life issues to deal with.

Thank you all in advance.

I'll be happy to offer my thoughts, though I can't promise the kind of punctuality you might desire. In fact, I've left someone else hanging on the second chapter of their work for a little bit now. Damn my eyes.

Answer at the end then.
