88k Comedy Space Opera for beta swap

[Kevin]

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to do a beta swap with my novel, The Pacifists, 88,500 words. It's a satirical sci-fi that I've been working on for a number of years. It's really probably time for me to move on to the next step, but in an effort to stall and avoid doing anything difficult, I've convinced myself that I should do one more beta swap, during which I'm sure a whole bunch of new issues will be pointed out, and I can spend the next few months doing more revisions instead of learning how to write a dreaded synopsis.

I'll read pretty much anything. My notes in genres in which I'm not as well read might not be as helpful as my notes in things like sci-fi, but if nothing else, I'm a decent proofreader.

Feel free to comment or just PM me if you're interested. Cheers!

Hi Kevin

Are you still looking for a swap? I have a 110k hard sci-fi story called The Exosleuth. The blurb’s as follows:

The only cop on New Earth, humanity’s first toehold in the stars, has been murdered. With a killer at large and no functioning police service the Governor has no alternative but to ask cadet Jake Rafferty to find his mentor’s killer. Unqualified, inexperienced and far beyond the reach of help from Earth, Jake embarks upon an investigation that he is singularly ill equipped to conduct - even when New Earth’s most junior doctor Victoria Hayden is seconded to work alongside him, much to her chagrin.

As Jake discovers how corrupt his old boss was, he starts to lift carpets under which dirt old and new has been swept, testing bonds and friendships to their limits. Together, Jake and Victoria must work fast to solve the first ever extraterrestrial murder case - or watch as their community tears itself apart...

Let me know what you think

Cheers to you

Hi Chris! That sounds really fun! Unfortunately, I already picked up a couple swaps, so I'm full up for now. Good luck!
