Critique Status

Not Critiquing

I'm currently writing...

I need feedback on my adult fantasy books. I’m an indie author with her own self-imposed deadlines – two more books (and two short story collections) should come out this year.
I’m character-oriented, no quests or good vs evil stories. Mostly medieval setting, average length 85000 words. But I also have two short story collections I would like to put out this year and need someone to look at them (same world, India/Persia inspired – I cover 500 years of history of my world in the 5 novels).
I have a very dry prose, and not because I used to write screenplays – that’s my voice, I write what I like to read. So no offense, if you like purple prose, we’re not a match! :-)
I have an offline writers group, but it takes them ages to go through a novel, so I’d really appreciate a fast reader who could help me to move on – I have hundreds of stories to tell, I can’t spend forever on the same one. I’m also very prolific, so I’d like to find someone who is prolific so we can swap manuscripts! :-)

Critiquing experience

I have dabbled here & there

Are you pursuing publication?

Yes, I’m serious about getting published

What I want in an awesome Critique Partner

One time only feedback.

The type of structure you like

Casual exchange, no deadlines

How often can you give & receive feedback?

Less than once a month

What is your writing experience?

30+ years in my mother tongue (Italian) unpublished. Started writing in English 10 years ago, screenplays the first five years, then back to prose (fiction). I can tell a story, but I have grammar issues for obvious reasons! ;-)

My writing influences are...

anything with a good story and a fast pacing. I don’t like literary prose (and I don’t write it either – I hate purple prose)

Books I enjoy reading

I’ve been discovering other indie authors even in genres I had never read before
