Hey people,

Between Issues of Gutter I knock myself out writing my own stuff. I'm starting up a novel critique group in order for myself and others to help each other hammer some mostly-finished works into completely finished, publishable products.

If you have something you're actively working on that's relatively polished and in the 60,000-word range it may be that we can work together.

There are two of us so far, and I'm looking for two more. Like-mindedness being advantageous, it's probably worth mentioning that we're tending toward dark and edgy, literary-ish crime and suspense.

I'm working on a structured approach to this so we can stay focused and see it through to a good outcome so, please, make sure you're dead serious and have the time.

If you're interested, please send a quick synopsis and a five page sample to me here.

Thanks very much. I'll be looking forward to some responses!
