The Random House reviews for the June Top Ten can now be viewed on the following link. Many congratulations to the writers and we hope they and all members find the feedback useful in development. Two reviews are still outstanding and will be added soon. View Random House reviews of June Top TenThe Random House Readers' Group found much to praise and enjoy in all the stories. There was particular praise for two of the stories and they were interested in looking further at the work of these authors - we have informed the writers - and reviews for other stories were a combination of praise and constructive development advice to help realise writers' full potential. Development can be a steady process over time requiring considerable patience, so we hope this is a suitable period for an interval for all writers to congratulate themselves on their progress so far and take a moment to have a breather and raise a glass to this before moving further on   Ted

Jane, I've looked at your work before - a while ago - and well done for getting into the top ten. Fantastic  You have got what most of us crave - feedback from someone in the publishing world. However, this is still only one point of view. Many people on this website haven't found it inaccessible in terms of language otherwise you wouldn't have got into the top ten. In fact, it is quite likely that the inventive way you use language is what got you there. So, I would say (and I know nothing, but never mind)  be cautious - let your characters shine through more clearly, but don't oversimplify the dialogue just because of this feedback. It may turn out to be your book's main selling point with another agent/publisher.
