Wow, what a wonderful opportunity! I'm so excited about so many of the books I've heard about that are coming from the Epic 18 group, so to have the chance to receive a critique from one is fabulous, thank you! My manuscripts are all prose, and I have fiction and non-fiction, so you can pair me up with whoever might suit best. My preference is non-fiction though, if that helps. :)
