I am looking for beta readers for my 3rd novel, Dreaming of Jerusalem. I'm looking for a deep critique--not just 'I liked it' or 'I didn't like it'--pls tell me what I'm doing wrong and suggest how I can fix it. I especially struggle with 'killing my darlings'; Dreaming is already too long. I don't need any more words, I need to make sure the words I have are the right words. I am a professional editor (on Reedsy Marketplace) and I wd love to return the favour and critique your novel-in-progress. (I can critique other people's novels, I just can't do it for my own work.) My 1st novel, The Lost Wisdom of the Magi was Winner of the 2021 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award for Best Historical. My second novel, The Genizah Codex, will be out in a few weeks. If you're interested in such an exchange, could you pls contact me? Yours, Susie Helme susiehelme@blueyonder.co.uk
