Looking for beta reader for my 75k commercial fiction novel

[Greg]

I am seeking a beta reader to be the first person to lay eyes on my second novel: To Sarah, Whom I Hope to Meet Again Soon

***
TL;DR
I’m looking for a beta reader who can give me big-picture feedback—does the story work, are the stakes clear, is the pacing engaging, etc.

Hoping this keeps it on the lighter/cheaper side since it’s more about overall impressions than detailed notes.
***

More detail:

I am a meticulous plotter who cares deeply about consistency, plot holes and story logic. My first novel was about a man who could jump to any unlived day of his life, and he wound up jumping ahead and finding himself in prison for a crime he didn't commit -- he then had to go backwards to other unlived days to figure out whatever it is he was going to do before it's too late.

Sorry if I hooked you on that one, it's being queried now. I'd be happy to let you read it though! (p.s. I literally just got a rejection from a two month old query as I was typing this post lol)

This story is similar in its complexity -- it centers around Sarah Walsh, a struggling 28-year-old in present day who is sent back to 1997 by a mysterious message from her father to warn a researcher of the dangers of his work. There, she slowly realizes that stopping the researcher might erase her own existence. As Sarah searches for answers, she finds herself unexpectedly falling for someone in the past, even as she knows her time there is running out.

Wrong Place Wrong Time meets Here and Now and Then.
With an obvious dash of Back to the Future!

And so what I am looking for is not grammar or spelling but an overview of the story -- does it work logically? Does it make sense and do the themes shine thru in the end. Are there glaring plot holes? Did you understand it?

I feel like a lot of good beta readers will go into a lot of great depth -- and that's great and something I will be wanting in round two for sure.

But if there are any people out there who want to read and offer their opinions on the above, please, let me know your rates/availability!

Thanks!
Greg

Hi Greg,
I am interested in beta reading for you.

Please email me to discuss rates as this would be different than what I normally offer. My beta reading is usually extremely in depth, leaning more towards a developmental edit, so if you're looking for something surface level the rate would be different.

Hello Greg,

Both of your story blurbs sound intriguing, but what really hooked me in Sarah’s story is the question of what kind of research could be so important, and so difficult to stop, that she risks erasing her own existence. That’s such an intriguing premise.

I’d be happy to beta-read your story and provide my real-time reactions as a reader, rather than detailed, technical notes, just as you mentioned you’d prefer.

My rates start at $0.0015 per word. You can learn more about me and my services on my website: fizabbas.com. Or feel free to reach out directly at fizaabbas.562@gmail.com if you think I’d be a good fit for your manuscript.

Warm regards,
Fiza
