Frankfurt is a weird time for writers; it can feel like everyone is getting 6 figure deals (they’re not!). To do something for those who aren’t yet at that stage, I’m offering a free critique of your first 10k words & synopsis (fiction only) - to enter RT by midnight Sat! 📚✍️

They came after me with the cat lady shit too. So please just sit down & listen.

Hind begged to be saved. You can hear the fear and pain in her voice. She was trapped in a car with her family who had already been murdered.
Now she has been found dead along with the paramedics who came to rescue her.
I feel sick.
