I have been dreaming of getting published for ages, and I have finished writing my novel (Which is a historical fantasy for young adults and teenagers). We all know that the attract the attention of publishers and agencies, the first few pages have to be fantastic! My problem is that I don't know which chapter I should put first for my story!
I have two chapters which I love equally, but I don't know which one is more gripping and interesting to a reader. I need you guys to help me - you might some day be my readers! You can contact me through my avatar and give me your email address so I can send you the two chapters and you read them. Then, you decide which one grips your attention the most and write back to me explaining everything you think. It will be incredibly helpful, cause you guys can help me make up my mind. You can even possibly make the story better! Help!?

You've asked this same question about 5 times now! I take it the critiques the other people gave you were not to your liking?
Have you thought about self publishing or making it as an ebook?
I wish you well in any case.

Can we have more information about the book. How many thousand words is it? Have you offered it to publishers? Have you completed it?
