I've been working on editing my novella, Hand of Steel, and I'd like to get a few more people to read through it and critique it before I try publishing it. (I'm thinking I'll self-publish since novellas are hard to get traditionally published.) Your job would be to tell me about anything you spot, like plot holes, slow spots, bad character motivation, lack of description (something I have trouble with) and anything else that detracts from a reader's enjoyment.
Hand of Steel is only 38,000 words, which means it's almost 150 pages if it were a book, so it's pretty short.
If anyone wants to read it, please read the excerpt I have here first to see if it's something you'd like. I don't want you to feel compelled to read something you're not interested in. If you like what you see, you can note me your email and I can send it to you in a format that works best for both of us. (For those who don't have Microsoft Word, I'd suggest Google Docs.)
This is the description:
All Krys wants is to be a hunter like her dad, until a fire grenade thrown by pirates incinerates him and leaves her so badly injured she’s made into a cyborg. To her surprise, the pirate captain who killed her dad and captured her is not the monster she’d expected but an old veteran from the losing side of the Tupra War. When she leaves the pirates and begins working with hunters who live by a different code than her dad, it’s only a matter of time before Krys is forced to choose between upholding the law or aiding those who oppose it.
