I have zero idea of what to do other than I know Dan Halpern quite well who had Echo Press that was bought out by Harper/ Collins...He works for them now, and I would not even think of giving it to him until it is a clean munuscript, and I was given the thumbs up by a few people who are avid readers that I know would give me an honest verdict.<br />As you know Pinceton has a plethora of rock star writers here in town,and I would call my effort a compelling story and glimpse into a different time &nbsp;and place, but hardly an intellectual masterpiece. In town we have Paul Muldoon[poet],Toni Morrison, Peter Benchley,JeffreyEugenities, and of course Joyce Carol Oates, John McPhee....and I have met them all at various things in town..so just a little daunting!<br />I guess the closest one to my style would have been Peter Benchley...who I knew quite well. Funny thing is several of his books central characters are based on the same person that I spent much of my time around as a child, and is partly reflected in my story as Harry. It would be a real feat to get published... I will look for your honest opinion when it is finished...Have you read the whole story?
