Hi Everybody,
A bit of back story first. Patrick Rothfuss, author of The Kingkiller's Chronicles, runs a charity every year called Worldbuilders that raises money for Heifer International, a charity that helps people in Third World countries become self sustainable by buying them livestock and other supplies that they would need to earn sufficient income to better their quality of life. This is done through donations as well as auctions for games, books, and other things.
Why is this important to post in this particular forum? One of the things that Patrick has in the auction is the chance to have a professional author read and critique your manuscript. If that sounds like something that you would be interested in this opportunity, or even in reading more about the charity follow the link to his blog here (http://blog.patrickrothfuss.com/2014/11/professional-manuscript-critiques/).
Hopefully, this isn't a re-post of news already on this board. I hope you check this charity out!
