Panic

This is so lame of me. I know it is. But here's the deal:

I have one-and-a-half weeks until I attend my writing conference in LA.

I have a freshly revised and edited contemporary YA manuscript.

Not perfect. Of course not perfect. It has only passed the inspection of one beta-reader whose advice has been incorporated.

Please do not respond to this out of any feelings of guilt or obligation or pity. Only if you really want to.

Would anyone be up to a *quick* read-through? It doesn't even have to be the whole thing. I'll take whatever I can get, writers and non-writers alike. This is last-minute talking here, people. Any kind of feedback would be welcome, even gut-reactions to the first 20 words.

And I will not be offended or hurt or depressed if no one responds. So please don't say yes out of pity. Only if you have a strong desire to do this -- and the time.

Panickedly yours,

Amy
