Hello all,
First and foremost, I would like to thank you for reading this post. I know there are a lot of really good authors on here who are in my exact same position so I want to make it absolutely clear that your participation is greatly appreciated. With that said, I was hoping to enlist the help of anyone willing to read my book, The Scion: Declaration. My book is primarily an action driven story about a man with a tragic past trying to resurrect his family name but nothing goes as ... See More planned and he is forced to make changes to a plan he barely even knew in the first place. I am a college student studying English and History but I began writing long before I changed my major to reflect my passion, kind of my literal reason for living. Writing is what made it possible for me to forgive myself for blowing a Division 1 football scholarship that would have seen me in the NFL. I have no accolade and I have no titles. I am just a regular guy who read a lot of Conn Iggulden, Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, GRRM, JK, James Clavell and felt the urge to create a universe and fill this universe with wonderful stories. However, my writing abilities have yet to match my imagination and this is where everyone here comes in. I feel like my strength is in my dialogue but my scene setting ability and descriptiveness need work. Unfortunately, I had no way of confirming my suspicions of my writing until now. I know my writing is far from perfect (is really far from anything even resembling a notion of perfection) and my grammar is atrocious but I am quite literally begging everyone to read my book and tell me where I need to improve. I will do review swaps with anyone who asks.
Once again, I thank you for your time in reading this post. Have an wonderful day.

Tawnii Hey Sidney! I love the fact that you are so realistic and honest in your self-assessment and critical of your own writing. I respect your open-mindedness and willingness to take constructive criticism. I'm in the same boat as you are. I've written a ... See More novel that I believe has potential, but I don't know if it's a story that connects with a larger audience. I'd like to read your story and help you out if you are willing to do the same in return. My story is a post-apocalyptic adventure set in the not too distant future. Here is the link if you are interested: https://www.inkitt.com/stories/scifi/128432?started_reading=true Just let me know. Thank you and good luck! :)

Sabitha Kiritharan Hi Sidney. I like how relatable and honest you are. I'm in the same position as you, since I've written a story called "Keep your promises" and am looking for more people to reserve copies, read and review. I would love to read both yours and Tawnii. ... See More Tawnii hi, I would love to read and review your story. Would you both mind reserving a copy of my story and reading it please. https://www.inkitt.com/stories/romance/109462?started_reading=true

Sidney Nwangwu Thank you two so much. I would say you have no idea how much this means to me but I am quite positive that you do. Both of your books will be getting read almost immediately. Thanks you guys.

Sabitha Kiritharan

Hello everyone. Thank you to everyone who has read/reviewed/reserved my story and continues to show their support by reading so. There are 19 copies left of my novel with the analytic bar nearly complete. I'm still looking for readers who haven't read my story "Keep your promises" to read,reserve a copy and review which I will do as well. It means a lot to me since my story is entered for the novel competition. It's hard to get readers to read your story, so I understand how everyone else is in ... See More the same place as me. I'm just hoping you all will give me a chance and if you haven't read, you will read and reserve a company. All feedback both positive and negative is appreciated since it allows me to grow as a writer.
Thank you all.

BryanQ Hi Sabitha,
Hope you'll enjoy my novel, The Package. And, yes, I'll be happy to read and review your novel.
Peace,
Bryan

Sabitha Kiritharan Thank you Bryan, your story is interesting. I appreciate it

BryanQ Hi Sabitha,
I read the first chapter. Your story is so realistic it sounds personal. The pacing of your story is good. The characters are fleshed out. And you leave the reader curious at the end of the first chapter. Who's the kidnapper and what ... See More is his motivation? That aside, you need to polish your English grammar. Sentences don't end with a period when then should. Avoid repeating the same action in the same sentence. Use a dictionary to avoid misusing homonyms, i.e., patient (person) versus patience (state of being). I suspect English isn't your first language. Is it? No big deal if it isn't. Just makes your job as a writer all the more difficult. This is a good first effort. But do spend some time studying English grammar, especially sentence structure. These issues aside, I look forward to finishing your story.
Peace,
Bryan

Thanks in advance.

LeaLately Hey Sabrina, I'll swap you if you're interested? https://www.inkitt.com/stories/scifi/130707

Hi everyone, my name is Edith and I'm new to the Inkitt family. I've submitted my novel, Time From the Past, in the novel contest. Below gives you a summary of it. Just a heads up, it is an erotica novel about Father Time. I posted a little while back, but didn't have but one response. Please help a beginning writer with advice or/and suggestions.

Pera is happy with the life she’s built. Than life is in jeopardy, however, when strange dreams begin to affect her new life. A disturbed ... See More man stalks her dreams, making demands for her timepiece. A timepiece she knows nothing about. Or does she? When Titan shows up, her life’s foundation is rocked even more. But has he shown up in time to save the life she’s built? To save her?
Titan, a hulking Adonis, is a warrior for Time. Finding and protecting the Past Time Elements is his reason for being. Finding a mate wasn’t part of that plan. Discovering a new part of himself, Titan must choose between protecting Pera and protecting Time itself.

I think my grammar is fine and layout, but I'm sure I've missed a few typos or made a small mistakes. I believe it could use a little more description, you know, to give it more color and feeling. That is my weakest point I believe. As this is my first attempt to write, but not my last, I'd like to get better and learn from others what I can. This is going to be the first novel in a trilogy. Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated. I did submit it as complete, but can gladly make any suggested changes. Lots of thanks y'all. :) please click on my link below to help a novice author. https://www.inkitt.com/stories/erotica/124900

Hello all,

Fantastic response to The Kafené thus far, so a big thank you to all who are currently reading it.

If any beta-reader fancies a dark nineteen-sixties period drama, I would be delighted if you read/reviewed my novel. The Kafené is a period drama with a dark twist that follows the story of a young Cypriot woman whose small, idyllic town on the southeastern corner of the island becomes embroiled in a series of domestic and political scandal.

Old ... See More sins cast long shadows...and there are secrets in this town that are resurfacing that could tear it apart.

Many thanks.

Juan Alejo Lozano Review for review? https://www.inkitt.com/stories/poetry/111353?started_reading=true

Georgio Konstandi Hi Juan, I have posted my review of your text. I hope you find it helpful. Thanks again.

Review for review, my Inkitt coworker?
Our book title is #PositivePsychThings, here is what we are about:

Positive psychology. The science of human flourishing. It is not a field of Psychology, but a new way of looking at the science of the human mind.

This art book is a Gen-Y/Millenial collab by the 20- and 21- year old Juan Bros as we attempt to bring the science which has defined happiness ("subjective well-being") to laypeople through funny, profound, and ... See More positively positive poetry.

29 Copies Left, hope they will all be gone soon. Analytic bar nearly full. Still looking for readers to reserve copy/read and review. Thank you to everyone who has read my story/reserved a copy, reviewed it, shared it on social media. It really means a lot to me and I really want to thank everyone. I appreciate both constructive and positive feedback. I love writing, and hope to be a published author one day. My story is of romance/mystery. It's about a girl called Scarlett, who is on a mission ... See More to find a lost child. But she soon realizes that the people around her, aren't who they seem to be.
But soon she makes an embarking discovery, that changes her life and shapes all she has known about the world.

My best strengths is creating characters that are relatable, my weakness is my grammar and over describing everything. I have always loved writing, and write stories on movellas, another writing community.

https://www.inkitt.com/stories/romance/109462?started_reading=true

Thank you to everyone who will read my novel and will reserve a copy of my novel.

Juan Alejo Lozano Sounds interesting, I'll take a look! Feel free to review our book as well. It is half positive psychology and half poetry!
https://www.inkitt.com/stories/poetry/111353?started_reading=true

Sabitha Kiritharan Sure of course Juan. I appreciate you and hope you will reserve a copy,read and review it. Will do the same to yours. Thank you in advance.

If you like space operas and traditional Star Trek themes about overcoming racial hatred, then "Warriors of the Hollow World" (https://www.inkitt.com/stories/scifi/50637) might be the book for you. Feedback, reviews, or exchange of feedback and reviews would be great. Thanks.

In exchange would you mind reserving a copy of my novel "keep your promises" and reviewing it please, I would really appreciate it. https://www.inkitt.com/stories/romance/109462?started_reading=true

Hello, I'm a new writer, and I just posted a story up. I would like to get some feedback first before I submit it to the contest.

"The Pact" is a story about werewolves and vampires. It's a tale about a boy running away from the dangers of life only to find himself in a more compromising situation. But as he delves into this supernatural world, he finds out mysteries of his past that will affect his future. Maybe he'll stop running!
