Nathan Bransford - The Forums

This is the first I've sought such help since 2012, the last of six years novelist Ed Minus critiqued my work. (Kite, published by the Penguin Group.) I've had nearly a thousand articles, essays, stories, poems published since then without this help, but I'm taking my 7300-word (or about his) essay very seriously, submitting it to a top-tier literary journal, and don't want to make the mistake of having been too close to the work not see any fatal flaw(s) I don't see. So I will very much appreciate the help of a good critique. Thanks, Bruce Edward Litton
