Creative Non-Fiction. A book which seeks to draw the reader in by telling them a story, only in the end to deliver a message in the interests of a moral cause, which is close to my heart.
I would be grateful to any of you who choose to read my writing, to get round in due course to reviewing and critiquing this, my novel 'Split' which I have already written, which I am drip feeding in here chapter by chapter and is now on here in its entirety.
I am seeking any help you can give me, by way of comment / critique, whether in overview or in its detail, as I edit it with a view to publication.
It is what might be best described as 'creative non-fiction'.
My interest in getting it out there is less for my own sake, more in the interests of others. It is a story with a moral cause.
It has been reviewed by a London City agent who believes it has much merit. Indeed he commented that it was strong material and that he was moved by it. However he is not taking on any new authors at present.
He and I agree it needs work before I can resubmit it to an agent who is taking on new writers and to whom he may direct me in due course.
Fingers crossed!
With my best wishes and thanks
James

Why don't you publish it James.
I'm way keen to have one master copy of this true appealing story teller by you..
Complete respect and warmest reward to entire generation to see how someone could think.
I'm truly your fan. Love to read your poems/story/reviews.
You write splendidly outstanding.
You must publish this :)
With Warmest Regards,
With Love and Respect,

I have an agent who may do so if I tidy the book up a bit at his request.
With reviews from readers on here, I am getting guidance on how to amend and improve on this draft in heavy editing.
If there are bits you thought that needed a little attention and why, that would be very helpful.
Than you for all your confidence in me and kind words.
I hope to make it come true.
Your friend

Infact there are much better and way good composer we have all over WC. I must say looking at those comments, you must have got idea what they exactly thought about your masterpiece "Split" is all about.
I could simply read and found it way dramatic and proper subjected.
Thus, I asked you to print it :)
Hi James,
This is a heartfelt story you presented. A sort of autobiography with psychoanalysis of which you would like to be viewed without hesitation to the public. A reality narrated of which you are recovering from the shadow of unknown and beyond control by your mind that affected your personal norm before. A highly recommended novel.
However there's one thing I note in Part Five, Chapter Two.
You wrote - It was now fast approaching 9 AM ..............drafts of " Spilt " into carrier bag. Or, maybe I misread it the way I type it - maybe - It is now fast approaching 9 AM - Or, 9 AM is fast approaching ............. drafts of "Spilt " into carrier. Whatever ? The only thing I am concerned of is the word you wrote " Spilt " do you mean it that way. " Spilt " past tense of spill. Or you mean your book " Spilt ". That's the only thing I noted. Check that please, if you don't mind.
I look forward to reviewing your book, "Split," particularly after reading your About section. Please forgive me if I'm going about this backwards (just joined WritersCafe tonight) -- ever the cart before the horse, eh? More later... ~ Kimby
There are so many helpful, gifted and kind spirited people on here, I can only imagine that the time you stay on here will be both uplifting and instructive.

I do so appreciate your taking the time, your diligence and patience.
It is asking a lot of any writer on this site to take the time to read any book.
Plesae keep going in your own time as I drip feed more and more of it onto this site.
With my kindest regards
