Behind the dragons
I wrote this book, and now am typing it up to be sent off to the publishers. Hope it works.. :-\

BLURB:
Kylie has a family pet-motel service. She loves it but she need a break. So then she desides to take a flight to the relaxing county of levesair. But her times turns out to be horrifying. Flesh, blood and bone,thats all that's wanted...

Nacho

Wtf???

What do you want us to do with that info? As this is critics lounge, I guess you'd expect something like "Oh, I like the idea; Oh! that sucks! You should change this and that..."

But with that info we won' t be able to tell so much more than a line... Is is sensible to start a thread in Critics Lounge for that? Anyway, you are sending it to the "publishers"... why do you need help? The work is finished or not? Yes? So, why asking for help? It isn' t? Then why sending it to the "publishers"

Why posting here asking for help, as you are going to receive thousands of letters of the editors telling you where the text is good or not?

Why don' t you think before posting???
Are you guys ready? Let' s roll!

Usually before you send a text to a publisher you have someone read through it. perhaps you should upload it and place it here. If it's any good, I doubt people will have a lot against reading it. If it's not, I think you'll find out quite soon.

Doesn' t sound to me like he' s open to receive crits or advises Tuomas... Sounds to me like "I am going to make me look cool telling this guys I have written a book"  :)

Specially if, as you mentioned, he hasn' t provided a link.   :P

Thus was I guiding him to the right path

Krysis

I'd critic the title.... What's behind the dragons? A tale?

Khris

The "publishers" will sure love a book from a 13yo who can't read (the forum rules).

voh

I have a distinct feeling you've only posted this message about having written a book and 'sending it off to the publishers' to make yourself look cool. Well, it isn't working. I doubt you have a manuscript. And even if you do, I doubt it's worth much to any publisher.

You can prove us wrong, of course. An excerpt? Just a couple of pages to show us we're wrong about you, and our sarcasm and skepticism is erroneous?

I can't wait ;D
Still here.

neelhound

wtf? Why would i want to look cool in front of you?
Who knows, i could be a nerd. A nerdy bookworm?
I wrote this to tell you that its coming up. There is a blurb.
Yes, the publishers probably won't like it, so I am typing it up to show YOU, in this same post.

MrColossal

Please, if you have something that needs critique, post this, otherwise it does not belong here.

Everyone else, please wait for him to post something for crit and don't fill this thread up with insulting jabs please. Thank you.
