Feedback will be incorporated and considered, along with feedback from other pre-readers of the manuscript, in order to inform a revision prior to potential publication.
Note: Pre-readers of the manuscript will not be named individually in the final publication, unless mutually agreed prior to publication. Feedback will be anonymized and considered together along with other pre-readers to hopefully inform a revision of a high-quality, engaging novel of realistic fiction that shows the values of dignity and mutuality.
