Jennifer Kirkwood (Levac) (genuinejenn) Hi everyone!

I am new to the group and also new to writing. I am working on my first novel and I am looking for a beta reader or two to help me with character development, flow, authenticity, engagement.

If you are interested in helping or knowing more can you please send me a message.

Thanks!
Jennifer

Kaje Harper | 17383 comments Welcome - I'm going to move this thread, because this folder is specifically for the read-to-review program.

I'll put it into the Question Corner for now.

You might consider posting just a little sample of your writing here, and a brief synopsis of the topic (eg. lesbian girls, gay boys, transgender, fantasy, historical?) to gain interest and help people decide if they have an interest. The length is also relevant - time to beta a short work (eg. 60K) is very different from beta reading an epic novel (over 120K).

Also if you're looking for a beta for a finished draft, or a critique partner to work on story development for an unfinished story.

Good luck!

Thanks Kaje for the welcome and moving this to the right folder. I wasn't 100% sure.

I am actually looking for someone to be a critique partner as it is just in the developing stage.

It is a novel about a young (19 year old) coming out to her parents, receiving negative feedback from them. She is also working towards going to school and finding a relationship as her casual girlfriend and her broke up and she left for school.

I am aiming for 50,000 word novel but it could end up being a novella in the end. It is my first work in progress.

Thanks!
Jennifer
