Title pretty much sums it up. After trying somewhat unsuccessfully to rope people I know into reading / critiquing a modern hard-boiled detective novel I’ve written, I turn to the Dope to see if there are those out there who’d be willing to give it a gander and tell me what they think / offer constructive advice.
So, who’s game?
Is this related to your NaNoWriMo project? That sounded like an interesting start.
Have you made it for the Kindle, if so I’d be willing to check it out.
It was, indeed, my NaNo project. And I have no idea how to make it available for Kindle- if there’s a way you can suggest, I can give that a try.
OK, I’ll bite. Pirates gotta stick together.
PM me with your email address and I’ll share my email address with you. I just released my book in Kindle format (this week, in fact), so I can give you pointers in that direction, as well.
PM sent!
How long is it?
That’s rather a personal question, isn’t … Oh! The story. 75 pages. 
I’d like to give it a try. I’ve never written anything, but I read 40-50 books a year.
Excited- Sent you a PM with details.
I’ll read it, too, why not? But what kind of criticism are you looking for here? Generic, vague? Pats on the back? Detailed grammar/spellcheck? Or an absolutely honest opnion of the book, with constructive criticism.
I’ve volunteer edited before and it’s always good to ask these questions before. How much criticism can you deal with?
