Hello, I'm new here from Quebec, Canada. I write Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror, and read mostly the same (best I've read recently being The Dervish House by Ian MacDonald, all-time favourites are Neil Gaiman, Guy Gavriel Kay, and Terry Pratchett), plus a lot of comics and graphic novels (best I've read recently being Locke & Key, all-time favourites are more or less anything by Neil Gaiman, Warren Ellis, and Alan Moore). I'm hoping to read some submissions and provide some useful criticism, before maybe throwing some of my own stuff into the mix. Cheers!

Reading out loud can definitely help you catch mistakes because you'll trip over things you might normally read over. Also, I have the most success reading backwards one sentence at a time. It breaks the flow you might otherwise get into and makes it much easier to catch grammatical errors.
