Does anyone have time this afternoon to alpha-read a YA romance short story? It‘s about 15 double-spaced pages, and I don‘t need line notes or editing, just comments about story and character.

Jess7 @Chelleo not sure if you‘re busy today, but I know you like romance stories so I‘m tagging you. 6y
Jess7 Not sure what alpha-reading is, but I could give you my opinion for what it‘s worth if it‘s only 15 pages 6y
Abby-J @Jess7 Thank you. Opinions are exactly what I need. If you want to shoot me an email at abby@abbyvogler.com, I‘ll send the story as soon as I‘m finished with this last edit. 6y

GypsyKat I could do it I think. When do you need it by? 6y
Abby-J @GypsyKat This evening. I know that‘s short notice. I‘ve had someone look over it, but I made bigger edits than I‘d originally planned to and my timeline has been thrown off. 6y
Jess7 Definitely help her out @GypsyKat - this isn‘t my typical genre, but I‘ll try to help. 6y
sprainedbrain I could help if you need more than one. 😃 6y
GypsyKat @Abby-J Well, it‘s 3 o‘clock here now, and I have to leave the house in 1 1/2 - 2 hours, but if you can get it to me quick I‘ll do what I can. 💗 I‘ll shoot you an email. 6y
GypsyKat @Jess7 I went through a period in my 20s when I only read romance. I still read the occasional one. 👍 6y
Chelleo Thanks for the tag @Jess7 I‘d love to do it but I won‘t be able to read it with such a short turnaround (I‘m a slow reader). I‘d hate to commit and not be able to meet your deadline 😞 6y
Abby-J @Jess7 @GypsyKat I‘ve sent the story. Let me know if you have trouble opening it. Excuse any typos around the 3/4 mark. I was typing it in a hurry. 6y
Abby-J @sprainedbrain Absolutely! Shoot me an email and I‘ll send it! 6y
Abby-J @Chelleo The turnaround really does suck. I‘m normally not a last minute person, but this story is proving to be the bane of my existence. 😂 6y
GypsyKat @Jess7 I somehow missed the part where it was a YA and only thought it was a romance. Lol yeah, I read a lot of YA lately, so it‘s definitely a typical genre for me! 😂 6y
Jess7 I sent my feedback to you in two emails. The first is my typed thoughts and the second contains two pictures of my handwritten notes (that supplement my first email). Hope it helps! I liked the concept and the story. I hope you will write more. I want to know more about Lucy and Dylan. 🤗 let me know if you got the emails. Thanks! @Abby-J 6y
Jess7 Yep, it was. Did you finish it yet @GypsyKat ? 6y
GypsyKat @Jess7 I did! I thought it was great! ❤️ 6y
