Romantic University's Theresa Stevens (editor) is taking on a new series in her "Ask the Editor" column. The theme? Line Edits. You give her your *first* 250 words (approx. 2 pages) and she'll tell you exactly what she thinks.
The first 2 pages of an Urban Fantasy novel are up and analyzed. You can check it out by clicking [HERE]. Do you have pages? Are you going to send them in? I've got a couple I'm eyeing and definitely will be taking advantage of this awesome opportunity. JT |

LOL I think they're saying "first few pages" because most people format that first page (double-spaced, etc) halfway down the page blah blah blah. When I did a quick check on one of my MSs, it ended up being the 1st and 2nd page formatted like that, coming in at around 270 words.
