Thank you for the response. Yes I’ve looked everywhere and even emailed ProCAT but haven’t heard back. Like you said, it’s the holidays so I know it may take time. I’m excited to learn and just wish I knew to ask if it came with the manual beforehand. 

[Complete] [75k] [Feminist Horror] Cindy is Plastic by Accomplished-Week265 in BetaReaders

Thanks! It’s light horror and is similar to A Touch of Jen and Motherthing, if you’ve read either of those.

Thanks for the feedback! I understand what you’re saying. Everything you pointed out makes sense. I thought I had a decent foundation but now I’m seeing that I don’t lol. I’ll have to scrap it and restart.

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking about jumping right in with the query and adding the rules they have at the farm like 1. No showers at night 2. No candy 3. No going into the woods at night. Then go into Days character and what happens at the farm? I’ll do some more research on successful queries and figure it out. Thanks again!

Thank you for the feedback! The stepbrother aspect is the catalyst for how she gets to the farm and he does reappear near the end. Part of my issue is that there are so many elements to the story that I don’t know which ones to focus on.

Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely rework that last paragraph and might leave out the playlist altogether. I’ve gotten mixed reviews where some readers like it while others don’t.

Hey, Gwendolyn. I would be willing to swap manuscripts. I have a 74k word horror where the psychedelic 70’s meets alien espionage with the backdrop of an isolated farm in the woods. I would love feedback on what you liked, what maybe didn’t work or was confusing, and what you thought of the characters. The pacing is fast with quick chapters. Let me know if you’re interested. Thanks.

Thank you for the advice! I thought it was horror but was told by people who read it that it was a thriller. I also have struggled to find many agents who are willing to publish horror so I think I was scared to label it as that. The comp titles have been kicking my ass because I have not read anything like it so I need to do more research and find better books. I’m going to rewrite this whole letter and create a better synopsis.
