Well, what if you don't want to become a reader, but want to read your own piece?
My only problem is that if I submitted a work, someone else might not be able to read it aloud correctly. Writers are sensitive about that, I have a specific sound for my poems in mind, a specific tone to go with each word, each line break, etc. The biggest issue that I have, and I'm sure many others have, is that can your 'readers' do our writing justice?
Honestly I would much rather be able to read my own piece then to let anyone else do so.
^__^;;; I hope that didn't sound rude, but that was just my honest opinion.
