Seeking beta readers interested in family memoir
Posted: September 18th, 2021, 8:56 pm
Hello,
My name is Maude and I have just completed a readable 99K-word draft of my family memoir, This Life That Binds.
I am now seeking feedback from good, reliable beta readers drawn to first-person narratives. I'm interested in personal impressions about the book as a whole and in particular, (1) what you get from it (2) how it makes you feel by the last page. I seek these types of responses because the narrative treats some heavy subjects - mental and physical illness, family trauma, estrangement - and I need to know whether I should be re-crafting what I've written. I've tried to treat them carefully and without overdoing the drama. But I've worked on the story so long that it's become very difficult to see the kind of reading experience I've created.
You can contact me at mmadjarian@gmail.com: I would be open to doing an MS beta read swap.
Thank you!
