Ok, I've been writing fan fictions for years now...probably four or more...but I've always wanted to make up characters and a story of my own. I want to get it published when I'm done too!

Well, there's a scholarship being put on by Hyperion Books. A student writes either a sci-fi or a fantasy novel, and if it's the best one, they get money for college, and a book deal.

I've decided to write a fantasy novel, and I have an overall goal for what the story will be about. My problem is this: I only have one person, , that I can count on to read it and give me honest and productive feedback. I was hoping that someone on here would rise to the challenge and help me by reading the story as I finish chapters and suggest corrections, let me know when I should add more detail, or take some out. Give me ideas for how to convey certain ideas...etc. Would anyone be interested? It would be a great favour and help to me if a few people volunteered for this...it would mean a lot.

Even if I don't finish the book in time for the scholarship, I can always enter it next year, and if I do finish it but do not get the scholarship, I plan on sending the manuscript to other publishers; as many as it takes to get it published. I won't quit until I've accomplished this, but with help, it'll be easier...

Please and Thank you to everyone; especially those who volunteer...
