Sci Fi-Adevnture YA

[Erik]

Hello prospective beta readers,

I have a 121k Sci-Fi/Adventure novel for YA called "The Reluctant Librarian." Esper is a world colonized from Earth long ago, but has since devolved into a feudalistic society. William wants to follow his late father's footsteps into the military but is selected for clerical duties instead. A far more adventurous path awaits him than he could imagine--one that includes rebels, monsters, and an ancient alien race.

I would love to swap beta-reading with anyone with a sci-fi, fantasy, adventure or similar genre, regardless of intended audience age.

Thanks,

Erik

Any takers? If it's a matter of length (I know 121k might be a lot for a beta reader to commit to) then I could drop it to the first few chapters.

I don't know about the whole story, but I could Beta the first four chapters for you and let you know how the beginning grabs me. :) If I'm interested enough, I'll ask to read the rest.

Thanks, I appreciate the offer! I'll PM you for delivery instructions.

Hi Erik, I'd love to swap with you.
I have a 112k fantasy novel, and I've posted the premise in a new thread on this discussion. Please give it a read and see if you'd like to swap.
My email is: josh.dunne@mail.com

Thanks!

Hi Josh,

I just read your post, and your story sounds interesting. I think a swap would be mutually beneficial. I'll seed you a PM to arrange the details.

Cheers,

Erik

Hi Erik,
I am definitely interested in doing a beta-read swap, novel for novel. I read your description and am intrigued.

My novel is Wyvern-Human interaction. We get to know a young wyvern as it grows from egg to mated adult, and see its first meeting with humans.
We get to know a young boy in forced apprenticeship to a blacksmith, set with an expedition to a new land for investigation for a possible colony.
And, we see the first disastrous meeting between human and wyvern. Will the Priesthood lead the Humans to war with another intelligent species? Would even their potent magics be enough to win a war with Wyvern?
108K words.
If you are interested, please drop me a note at danherit@gmail.com.
Thanks, James Heritage

Hi Erik,

i would love a review on my partly completed work(a chapter at a time ;) ) which is a newborn baby SF Fantasy. The fantasy is about a new born baby abandoned in a flooded hospital. The baby is telepathic. The Story flows the babys journey to safety. Mail me at nikhilchalasani88@gmail.com if you are interested in a swap.

Hi Nikhil,

I'm a bit swamped with projects right now. Maybe in a few weeks?

Erik
