if you'd like to help with critiquing my fantasy novel for MG/YA, please drop me a PM. Thanks!
(figured id post this here since there are so many great writers around..... 
Hi Jellyman,
I'm not sure you'll get many bites for an entire novel here, especially YA (which I think is a clash with the contest). Have you considered joining an online critique site, instead?

And you'll want to figure out real quick if it's MG or YA--those two categories require totally different focuses and appropriateness meters. Typically speaking it’s hard to slash the two together because they have very different target audiences.
And I agree with Mr. Baker about a crit group. Since we're short story focused here there might not be as many full-on betas waiting in the wings.
Good luck! Finding a beta you can work well with can be a difficult endeavor.
