Hearts & Guns beta
Monday, January 9th, 2012 at 12:32 pmDone it — finished the story collection, still with the working title of Hearts & Guns. It’s about 76,000 words and covers material from 1997 to 2010. It includes most of my published short fiction, a new story, and some odds and ends of poetry and ultra-short things.
Generally the older the story, the more I’ve revised it, though I’ve tried not to go overboard (and I brought The Art of Dying back closer to its original form than its other revised versions).
It does need beta reading. If anyone would like to volunteer, please email me. I’ll have your babies reciprocate any reading/critique.
ETA: Thanks everyone who offered, I’ve got enough now!

I need distracting this week. If you’re still looking, I’d be happy to give it a read.

I’m sadly too busy right now to offer beta-services, but I just wanted to say YAY! So excited about this. =D
