Madison Lawson | 54 comments Hello! I'm currently working on my novel, The Run, (temporary placeholder name) and would love another set of eyes or two. I'm not in a rush so time is not a huge issue. Currently I have 17,000 words written that you may enjoy to your hearts content. I will add to it as I write and you can stick with me or move on your way. I will also share my notes so you can get a better understanding as to where the book is going.
Below is an elevator pitch.


Women are not seen as human, but objects used for a man’s pleasure and convenience, chosen in the annual run to become a new man’s housewife or a new son’s mother. Once thirteen, girls are to leave their Hill Houses and participate in The Run through the tiers of men, watched with hungry eyes. Jedidiah Harley, a man who is taught to live as superior, cares little about his status but longs for a family with the stolen sister that he knew as a boy before she was forever lost in the system. Jedidiah plays the role he is given, choosing women yearly in a meaningless motion as he plans on finding his sister when the time comes. However, his plans are changed when he falls in love with Nora a year before his sister turns thirteen and is set to run. He is then presented with a choice: The love of his life or the sister he promised to save. Who will he choose? Or will his choice be made for him?
Enter The Run yourself to find out.

Are you offering paid editing? Or beta reading? what would your time frame be? Do you have a website or anywhere I may visit to look at your options?
