Would anyone have the time to read a seven page essay?
It's sparse, I'm interested in knowing what ideas I should expand on. If anyone has time/interest, allyson.beatrice @ gmail.
And thanks!
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'd be happy to take a look but it would be even later than this weekend. I've got a beta reading backlog at the moment.

I may end up losing the opening paragraph of Cog which I've always liked. On the plus side that means it'll start with a scene that has an electrostatic mud-cannon.

My book is now in preproduction, the last step before copy-editing. Normally, I'm told, I will be asked to make minor changes to accomodate layout and copyediting, like altering page numbering or changing margins, or things of that nature. Occassionally, authors are asked to revise for tone and that sort of thing. And I am really really hoping not to run into anything of that sort. I really want my editors to date to have found everything like that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
