I am looking for an experienced beta-partner to read a completed, polished manuscript as a final “once over” before I submit.
HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT is a 110,000 word YA Fantasy. I need someone who can commit to turning it fairly quickly, (About 50 pages a week or more) but be thorough at the same time.
Here is my teaser synopsis to see if it is the kind of thing you’d like to read:
Darkness threatens the galaxy from within, coaxing and winning the people with its lies and promises. Magellan Talbot, a poor miner's son, is chosen by their Goddess to stand against it, sending the High Prince on a jealous rampage. Prince Stephen tries to kill the boy, but Magellan survives. The ordeal however, strips the boy of his memory.
Magellan’s loss leaves the galaxy vulnerable, and Darkness takes advantage. It overwhelms and traps the Goddess, leaving her weakened and fading. The only thing standing between Darkness and dominion is a young boy who has no idea that he is even involved. If Magellan doesn’t fight Darkness, it will smother the Goddess and the galaxy with her. Magellan can prevail, if he could only remember.
I’d be more than happy to do a beta-read in return. If you’d like to exchange first chapters to see if we are interested in each other’s work, please let me know.
If someone posts below that they are contacting me, don’t let that stop you from shooting me a line. I can juggle quite a few reads at the same time if they are good ones.
If you’d like to get a feel for who I am, and how ruthless I might be on your beta
