Looking for beta readers
My next projected release is two novels, the first two books in a series, and I am looking for beta readers. Beta readers would read one or both books and give their general impressions on characters, plot, pacing, etc.
The first book is complete, but once I finish the second book by the end of May, I will then spend most of the summer editing them. At that point, I would hand them over to my betas and look for feedback.
The subject of this series is set in a futuristic world where mankind has outgrown the ability to expand outwards into new land, and instead expands upwards into one giant vertical city. People born into this city know no other way of life and believe that mankind has always lived this way. It turns out, though, that there are some very specific reasons the people of this World-City walled themselves off from the rest of the world centuries ago and the three book series explores the gradual revelation of these reasons. The series is not necessarily science fiction, but more of a futuristic thriller with a focus on the characters rather than over-the-top science fiction technology.
