Looking for a fellow MFAer

[Clay Carlson]

I have an MFA in fiction writing. I've completed two novels. After sending out my novel for several years I'd like to get some feedback on the first fifty pages as no agent has read it. It is a complex serious literary novel centered on what is going on now. I've lived abroad and my novel is international in scope.

I'm more focused on the level of the sentence (not that story isn't important) but if you love Amy Hempel too you know what I'm talking about. I love Walker Percy, Nabokov, Cheever, Denis Johnson, Joy Williams, Graham Greene, others.

I'm looking for a fellow MFA graduate who also has a completed well-edited novel that has been ignored or is ready to go out into the world. Swapping the first fifty pages is my goal as that is what agents read.

Let me know if you are interested.

Regards,

Clay

Do you anticipate your potential readers to have completed their MFAs as well?
