Addiction Memoir Beta readers / light copy/proofing also

[Chris]

I need help with my memoir. It's about my time in rehab for opiate addiction.

I'm looking for people who love books, especially memoir. Pat Conroy's books were always favorites. Augusten Burroughs. (I'm a sucker for just about any memoir though, if it's well-written.)

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and remember some cliche or clunky phrase I've written and can't believe I was so blind. So it's that kind of thing especially I want to cut out. I call it the Three A's: anything Awkward, Amateurish, or Awful.

Also I have some complex dialogue (multiple paragraphs, interruptions with interior monologue) and could use some formatting help/advice.

I have friends who love books and they like what I've sent but they don't really know how to give feedback or tell me what seems f'ed up.

I'm glad to pay a premium for good feedback. I'd probably want to start with a chapter or two to see if it works for both of us.

Also, you should know my book is very raw and if you are offended or upset by sex and drugs and brutal language you probably want to skip this.

Thanks so much!
