Critiques 4 U!
CONTEST CLOSED!
Happy weekend, everyone! We missed our monthly critique contest last month due to December craziness, so now that we’re fully into January, I’m excited to get back into the critiquing groove.
If you’re working on a first page and would like some objective feedback, please leave a comment that includes:
1) your email address. Some of you have expressed concern about making your email address public; if you’re sure that the email address associated with your WordPress account is correct, you don’t have to include it here. But if you do win and I’m unable to contact you through that email address, I’ll have to choose an alternate winner.
2) your story’s genre (no erotica, please)
ONLY ENTRIES THAT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED
Three commenters’ names will be randomly drawn and posted tomorrow. If you win, you can email me your first page and I’ll offer my feedback. Best of luck!

The are young females both age 18 and they’ve each signed up to join the Universal Federated Army of Space. They are looking forward to becoming Infantry as this is considered an elite specialty.
