AGONY EDITOR
Dear Agony Editor, I’ve told all my friends, family, and co-workers that I’m working on a novel because I wanted them to hold me to it. But now they’re all asking if they can read it. Even when I say it’s not ready, they’ll say, “So let’s see what you have.” I know I should show it to someone, but how do I know who I should show it to? How do you pick your first readers?
