Want to make history? Become a Beta Reader!
I’m looking for a few good men (or women), to become Beta Readers for my new novel; three people total to be precise.
What’s my novel about?
Earth has finally stepped out amongst the stars with help from our distant cousins, with whom we’ve been reunited.
Mankind discovers that the multiverse is indeed a place of danger, filled with the evils of old legends.
Think Stargate meets Lord of the Rings, that’s what I’m shooting for anyway!
Norse Mythology brought to life in the present, then projected 115 years into our future! What might that look like?
There will be plenty of love, revenge, lies, betrayal, honor, courage and bravery.
There will be aliens, cool technology, ancient artifacts unearthed and fascinating cultures to explore.
Benefits:
An advanced digital copy of an amazing Science Fiction novel
Three autographed paperback copies of the finished work
Your name and website address or Facebook page, listed inside my novel in the acknowledgments section
My undying gratitude! Worth more that you might think ;)
Skills Required
You are an active reader
You read and enjoy Science Fiction, especially space opera
You understand what makes a book good, via aspects like character development, plot, appropriate setting detail etc.
You can give specific feedback: I Liked character X because…, Character Y wasn’t detailed enough, or I didn’t feel emotionally connected because…, The Plot was great and I especially liked….Also, feel free to make suggestions on aspects you’d like me to add or delete, or expand on.
How to apply?
Send me an e-mail to author@hughblong.com, and let me know why you’d make a great Beta Reviewer.
Please don’t reply to this post, I’m not likely to see it. Also don’t IM me on Facebook about this, I may miss it. If you e-mail I am sure to get it.
FYI, I’m not looking for you to be copy editors, so don’t worry about punctuation etc. Sure, if you feel like it, take note and tell me abotu any errors, but I am having the book professionally edited after I get structural feedback, and once I stop making changes.
PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME IF YOU CAN’T COMMIT 100% TO DOING THIS. I’m going to choose three people who contact me, and three people only. If you sign up, and don’t bother doing it, you’ll be letting me down, and taking someone else’s place.
I look forward to working with any volunteers, I am very excited about this novel, and even more excited to share it with you!
Best wishes!
Hugh B. Long
