Some help please...

[IrishGolfer]

I've just finished writting a work of children's fiction. It involves two young boys and an old man and the central theme is golf. It's a kind of moden "Greatest Game ever Played" for 11 year old kids.

It's ~9,500 words and will eventually have some simple illustrations / cartoons embedded.

Anyway I need some volunteers to read it and even proof it before I approach any potential publishers.

I published an illustrated book a few years ago. Some of you here even bought it. The proceeds went to Habitat for Humanity (managed to raise about ~$5K) and if this goes ahead the proceeds will be going to the same charity.

PM me with your e-mail if you are interested. Thanks.

Send it, I'll read it, and allow my girlfriend to do so as well. She's done with her degree now (YAY!), and she's been known to be a reference for proof reading peoples papers and thesis.

PM sent.

Please send me the english version...I never learned to speak Irish.

You can send it to me too if you like. I work in a library, so I may be able to give you some insights. If not, at least i'll enjoy the read.

I can give you a non-native english speaker point of view if you want


I'd want the same English version as MCDavis. My Irish isn't very good either....

 

[IrishGolfer]

OK, so did any of you avid readers get a chance to look at this yet? I know a few of you are still in the middle of it, but I'd be delighted to get some feedback on it from anyone else that got a copy.

If you are still interested in getting a draft of this, PM me and I'll send you the latest version. Oh and I'm looking for an illustrator, happy to talk to anyone with contacts.

It's not Tiger's world, but maybe that's a good thing.
Thanks.
