Haley’s comments from the Write, Wrote, Written group.

Hello! I'm currently looking for beta readers who are interested in reading a novel about two sisters learning to love each other after the youngest was kidnapped to be a soldier and lost her ability to feel emotion.
I currently am editing the second draft of my novel and have 16 chapters done so far (I have very short chapters--the novel is only 110k words but has 116 chapters). I'm planning to edit at least one chapter per day to get it out to betas and will continuously be updating a shared Google Doc with these chapters. For more details, please contact me at hsulichstolen@gmail.com

Thanks!

That's perfectly fine. Sounds good!

Felt like some of the questions are irrelevant XD.
Still, I'll look into this. Trying to find an affordable editor."

Which questions did you find irrelevant? I've found in the past they help me understand the author's writing experience a bit better. I tried to keep it short. Sorry if it didn't seem like it!

I'm currently seeking to help both indie and established authors improve their manuscripts' world building, characterization, descriptions, plot, pacing, structure, and other "big picture" elements. Many people tend to think of grammar when they hear the term "editing," but if your characters aren't memorable or your story's world isn't believable, readers may end up putting your book down regardless of how polished your grammar is. I've helped authors discover their story's full potential, and I would love to help you do so too.

(Side note: I edit fiction of horror, mystery, sci-fi, and fantasy. The pricing for my services is cheaper than many content editors in order to offer affordable editing for authors who have less than $1,500 to spend).
