An only slightly arbitrary picture of princesses.

She’s represented by International Creative Management.
$20. Sounds great!

What a great cause to support–I can’t believe more writers aren’t snapping up this chance to get a double critique from two interesting writers!
Caveat: my book is a mystery (for adults, but the MC is 27)—if reading mysteries isn’t your cup o’tea (saw the note requesting romance/YA/MG), I can bow out to the second-place bidder and re-bid on another critique next month. But if you two are willing/interested, I’d be game!
