I have a finished story that's just under 5k. All my normal readers read it when it was about 2k larger, so I'm looking for fresh eyes. I'd be happy to trade a crit.

I'd be happy too. The first three chapters of the novel I'm working on are of a similar length and I'd love to get more feedback on it.

Wow on the response. I'm so glad I joined this forum.
I have always been apprehensive/shy on asking for readers, but you all make it easier to ask for a trade. I have a couple HMs that I'm working on to resubmit and I'm not sure if I hit the topics that made them HMs (I know HM is an honor/honour (my wife's Canadian and she circles words like that as an inside joke of proper spelling), but I'd really like to see them move up the scale.
