Hi All,
I've got a 7,300-word story for Q3 that is in the final editing stages. Looking for overall impressions, flow, and any obvious continuity errors I missed. Happy to read and critique in return either now or nearer the submission date. (@clfors is in my writing group, so she's already read it).
Thanks!

Hi @wahlquistj, I'm happy to take a look. I'm still hammering out my story (reworking an old HM that I think has more potential) but am hoping to have something to send out next week, so would welcome a swap. Feel free to send my way.
