about me

My name is Chris. I'm 21 years old. I love to write and edit other people's work. My interests lie particularly in Children's Literature and YA Fiction. It doesn't matter whether it's aimed at male or female readers. I've read some novels that have been clearly marked out for a female readership and that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I am willing to provide constructive criticism for those that do the same for my book. I am always grateful to all that read and critique my opening chapters.

'Opening Night' is aimed at the 14-18 year old market and appeals to both a male and female readership. Thanks for all the feedback so far. I work five days a week so it can be hard for me to be consistent when giving reviews but I will get around to it if you've taken the time to write to me and as already mentioned, I would be grateful for any reviews, comments, backings and ratings if you can spare the time.

Opening Night

Christopher Penn-Wright

Demons exist. Witches are real. Magick is all around us. But can two teenagers rescue the world from Syndicate - an elite, demonic organisation?


Stop the press: the Chosen One has finally been found!

Will Forsythe might be a lot of things; a teenager, an orphan, a student, a clairvoyant but one thing he certainly is not, is normal.

Will has a destiny; a destiny that lies outside the safe enclosures of Madame Avery’s Boarding School. Syndicate will stop at nothing to find him and cut short that destiny before it’s even had a chance to begin.

Charms have protected Will up to now but as All Hallow’s Eve approaches – the same day as Will’s sixteenth birthday – the charms will dissipate, leaving Syndicate with an opportunity they’ve waited millennia for.

A failed assassination attempt results in a chance encounter with a girl that claims to be Will’s sister but can she really be his sister? And why choose now to reveal her existence? A prophecy unearthed over two-thousand years ago states that a paragon of good will overcome a great evil and Syndicate will stop at nothing to undo the prophecy and kill Will. One thing becomes clear though, there’s more than one Chosen One out there...

Hi Andrew, I should probably start by saying that this genre would not be one that I frequent. I usually lean more towards Y.A. Fiction and the likes but from the opening lines, I found myself liking the narrative more and more. It's easy to identify with your protagonist John. There were a co... view book

Thanks for the comments. I've finally gotten around to reading your work. I've only read the first three chapters but I think I have enough of a grip on the narrative to divulge my thoughts. I may be wrong in saying this but it seems like you're dealing with the themes of romance (obviously) and ... view book

First off, I loved your introduction. The opening paragraph is a little confusing in terms of time and whether the actions are being carried out in the present or the past. Overall, the content is gripping, Ava, as the protagonist, reads strong but the first chapter is littered with grammatical erro... view book

First off, I should probably mention that this wouldn't be the type of book I would normally read. Having said that, it is beautifully told, moving along at a steady pace that gives you snippets to wet your appetite while ultimately progressing the narrative. I have only read the first three chap... view book

Firstly, I would like to say that I love to bake too! Secondly, my critique might appear harsh but I say what I say only to be constructive, not mean or demeaning. I also apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I have only read the first three chapters and I have to say, there is a defini... view book
