Your Comments please on my work

I have completed a novel set in Japan. I have sent out unsolicited samples to two dozen plus agents and have so far received rejections without any editorial advice from seven. Now I'm placing the opening 8 pages (the complete chapter is 20 pages long) before the Court of My Peers. Please check the Work Share page and advise.

It just don't read smooth. Get someone to read it out loud to you. But please don't stop, keep going. Is English you first language ?

Thanks, Damien.

Obviously, I should have never sent it to the seven rejectionists and, aahh, to your. I need examples of why not.

Done you should have never sent this out like this. It sounds like it could be good but you need to do Some heavy rewrite and editing...... Stop sending it out.
