Short story Gothic speculative fiction CP

[Sophie]

Hi,

I'm Sophie, 20 years old and I'm looking for someone to read and give a bit feedback on my 6200 words short story which I'm planning to submit to a contest by the end of this month (I'm stressing a bit because the deadline is so soon). The story is about a woman who wakes up in a train carriage without any memory of who and where she is. The only thing she finds in her bag is a letter by a mysterious Lurelia who she knows she has to find. She gets out at the next station and sees her name in a death note in a newspaper. But as she visits the graveyard where she is supposed to be buried, everything turns out differently than she expected. The story deals with themes of grief, mental illness and death.

I'm looking for a crtique partner, so in return I'd also love to read your works, I don't care if it is also a short story or a whole novel or poetry. I've studied creative writing for a year and now I am starting to study English lit. I've been betareading a lot for friends and classmates and I enjoy reading all kinds of stories. If you are interested, reply to this, I'd love to hear from you.

Sophie

I'll put my hand up. Although I may not be quite the target audience, I might be able to offer something.

Cheers

Hey!

That sounds pretty interesting. I have some time over the next few days to read yours and offer line-by-line feedback. I've been a beta reader on fiverr for the last 2 years (but not active at the moment) and published a debut novel last year that made #1 in over 6 Amazon categories.

I'm working on a new story, completely different from my last. It's in first person and more of a contemporary thriller/romance. It's a bit raw in terms of the POV, sexually graphic and somewhat comedic. I have just under 17k words, would love to swap with you. It's the first six chapters. Let me know if you're interested!
