I'm looking for a handful of people who would be willing to be on my critique list--people to take a look at short stories and/or chapters for me as they're finished for the purpose of giving me feedback. I have a few friends at the moment who do this for me, but most of them aren't either writers or particular fans of the speculative fiction genre, so their ability to give me strong feedback is limited.

I write a wide range of speculative fiction, from fantasy to science fiction. The sci-fi is not "hard sci-fi" but tends toward the "anthropological," more about people and culture than about any particular technology (although as in any science fiction, technology usually plays a certain role). My fantasy interests are somewhat far-flung, but there is a strong tendency toward sword-and-sorcery in my work to date.

I am trying hard to get published this year and could really use some enthusiastic readers, preferably strong speculative fiction fans who are highly familiar with the genre, to give me feedback and suggestions on my work. If you're interested in being on the list, just write to me and let me know!
