Expanding My Beta Reader Circle
Hello All!
I have to say, one of my favorite parts of being an author is hearing back from those that have read my books (aka all of you that will actually see this). I value every email I receive and enjoy the constructive criticisms just as much as praises. Its those interactions that really make the writing process a lot of fun.
If you've read the some of my other posts, then you know I'm in the final self-editing process for the start of a new series set in the Three Moons Realm that takes place a short time after the conclusion of book 2 of the Bound to the Abyss series. Completely new characters, but they have been affected by the events of the other books. Full summary can be found on my website here - http://www.jamesrvernon.com/#!bound-t...
So how does this relate to the title of this post? Well, if you like taking a look at early versions of stories, can be very blunt, and would love to help mold a novel to make it as entertaining as possible...then I want you!
I'm looking to add two or three more beta readers to my circle of trusted friends. If interested, you would need; MicrosoftWord and an understand of how to add comments, the ability to stick to a set time frame, the ability to be mean and rip a story apart when you read something that bothers you, and a basic love of fantasy.
Since I'm hoping for a late December release for this next book, I'm only going to open this up for a week as I want to get started soon. I'll leave submissions open until Sunday, Oct. 12th and will decide who to include and send off the first few chapters that same day. If chosen, you will at least get a signed paperback version of the book, thanks mention in the book, and maybe more(poster? bookmark? some other promotional material that I havn't even thought of yet?) just as a way to say thanks.
If interested, send me an email at rvernon222@gmail.com stating your interest and telling me a little about yourself and stories you have enjoyed.
I look forward to hearing from you!
