Welcome, dasyrch! Whereabouts in London? I used to live there ... fabulous city! It'll be warming up there now :)

Yes, maid and butler type scenarios. Oh please, beat me silly if I do that! But, in first drafts, it's useful, but the job of a writer is to turn the vomit-on-the-page into something readable. My pet peeve on a line-by-line level is "was ... ing" i.e. was running, was hitting etc. Why can't...

Mainly fantasy, some thrillers, but also classics and books on the craft.

Welcome Prince Vince :)

I don't usually read omniscient, but last week I read one of the best in modern literature from a debut author (someone who clearly took time to learn the craft before debuting). Elizabeth Arden's, Bear and the Nightgale. Part fantasy, based around Russian fairytales. I finished it in 2 days.

I just found this the other day (from a former agent):

Snowpoint, have you read Jim Butcher's Furies of Calderon? That's based on a mixture of Pokemon and Rome. He wrote it to prove a newer writer wrong and it's a bestselling series.

Welcome, Robin!

I agree, robinlxs.

Fulhark, that Deverry series is one of my favs :)

G’day Buvanesh, welcome! The best thing to do is participate and show you’re committed before asking for people to read your work.

G’day Sammo2191, welcome aboard :)

Sounds like a fair ask from publishers. I'm curious what the wording would be. I wonder if agent's will have them too? My last agents didn't.

I know my editing process has to include critiquing and beta readers.

I too enjoyed the special effects, but I do wonder what was the point of Mrs Marvel? And it was a bit of a letdown when they just chopped off Thano's head.
