First of all - got the message - I'll try and look at things in the next week or so. This does rather heavily depend on work, as we seem to have a sudden infestation of idiots at the moment...

"I need someone to volunteer to read my novel and let me know what they might compare it to. I'm stumped for an idea on who to compare my writing to."

I'm not sure what you mean here... If you mean comparing your writing to another author, then this is probably not a good idea. You will end up just producing pastiches of someone elses work.
