Hi Alex! I just received your query response today. I have been reworking since March when I sent leaving Lakin it is much improved on the showing versus telling (worked with mentor/group). Do you ever allow second passes? If not that is so ok but it doesn’t hurt to ask I thought. Thanks so much

A 60,000 word historical fiction piece with multiple points of view- examining race, sexuality, and the treatment of psychiatric patients in the time of lobotomies at the dawn of the psychotropic age, all in an Appalachian setting.
