Thanks for the follow❣❣❣

Writers! I am looking for about 5 testers for my Spiral Writing book, Write Your Novel.
          
          I'm looking for writers who want to write a novel and are willing to undergo the Spiral Writing process, follow all instructions, and submit all work product for uncompensated publication. That means your notes and unedited drafts, warts and all, will be visible to other people and open to critique. This is NOT a publishing contract, but you will retain all rights to your finished work.
          
          I am demonstrating the Spiral Writing method using a story idea of my own, but I need more examples. Essentially, I was trying to write five novels at the same time I'm writing a nonfiction book, and it was making me crazy! I'm hoping to find some plucky guinea pigs who are willing to show their work as examples.
          
          To be considered, you must be interested in writing a novel, not serial fiction. I don't care if you've never written one before. You must also already have or be willing to open a free Google Drive account.
          
          If this sounds like something you might be interested in, you can get an idea of what you'll be in for by checking out the (unfinished) book at:

          If you're still interested, message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Also, for you writers out there, I've begun another new project called Write Your Novel, which teaches the Spiral Writing method I've been developing for the past four years. I'm publishing it free on Wattpad under the username @spiralwriter
          
          Check it out and let me know what you think!

I can't believe how long it's been since my last post!
          
          Rest assured I've been very busy, and I have two extremely important projects I want to tell you all about. First, I will be posting rewrites of the two Magnetron Chronicles stories already posted here on Wattpad, and eventually three more volumes which are currently available only on Amazon. I've added a subplot that ties the whole thing together, and it will eventually lead to the long-awaited sixth volume, The Kraken of Cape Farewell.

I like your books.. (the last adventure of Dr Hogalum and Spring-heeled Jack..) very good writing. Well done friend.

The first two Magnetron Tales were delightful reads. Looking for the other volumes?  Escape to Xanadu looks to be next. 

I love your story, and I've only read three chapters!  Could I have your permission to turn this into an audio reading on YouTube?  I will credit you and give them a link to your story.  I do have experience with recording and creating audio videos, so you don't have to worry about that.  So, could you consider it?

Hi everyone! Sorry to keep pestering you, but I've advanced to the Iron Writer finals and there's just a couple hours left to vote for my story.  I've fallen behind and really need your help!

          My story is listed first, and the little voting box is near the bottom of the page.  Thank you!

I just finished reading the first two novelettes in your Magnetron Chronicles series, and I must say I was thoroughly delighted with both the characters and the setting. I would merely like to offer a few critiques, that is that you more thoroughly explain the characters upon their introduction, for example I think that if a character has a pet that is often with them that should be included upon their introduction as sometimes that can get confusing. Furthermore, sometimes with the large gaps in time accounted for voyages you get a little vague and it can confuse people who don't know the geography of the region in question. That being said, I think the characters were each their own hilarious brand of person and you did an exceptional job fleshing out their personalities in a short span of reading, which brings me to my next point that being that although they are short works the story progresses rapidly but without feeling rushed. Hats off to you, sir. Why take ten pages to write what you can in two? The setting is extremely well-done and I like the blending of science and mythos; it's extremely interesting. My final point is that the language the pieces are written in is just the flowery script I would expect of a Late 19th-Century narrator. I absolutely adore that sort of literature as I grew up reading Doyle, Dickens, Hugo and the like. Just thought I should drop you a friendly critique and tell you I liked your work. Good day to you! 

Thanks everyone for your votes.  I won!
