    Hello, Have posted first 3 chapetrs of Dancing Housewives on: http://www.writewords.org.uk/archive/8930.asp
    One of my agent's comments was that it was rare for a book to make her laugh out loud, but this did. Has a publisher taken it though? Not yet and breath is no longer being held! Comments gratefully received, but be gentle! Thanks, Fiona

    Hello Fiona,

    Welcome to the forum. I think you may be waiting a while for comments on this piece. At 20,000 words, it's considerably longer than we usually get on an upload, and not everybody will have time to read and critique it. May I suggest you break it up into smaller pieces and feed them in a bit at a time? The normal upper range of an upload is around 5,000 words and longer than that may put people off attempting it. I know, I know, the Bart Simpson generation! I'm sure it must be terrific if you already have an agent.

    Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, as a part member I can't edit it now, so comments on the first chapter/ even the synopsis and prologue etc will be gratefully received! Fiona
