Hey yall!

So I'm looking for some willing Betas for my 75K high fantasy novel, which currently has the slightly unwieldy title, Dance of the Burning Men.

I have a great crit partner, but a few more eyes on this (particularly someone to whom I have not spilled the beans and discussed each plot point with in excruciating detail :p) I think would be great.

Brief Description:

Four girls find themselves battling wights, demons, and Chaos itself when they are chosen by the gods to protect a princess from assassination. Evil mages conspire to plunge Cair Tallas into civil war and leave them vulnerable to a looming threat from the north. Sanciare Afortunada is the one person who can stop the coming invasion; she must live long enough to take the throne.

It's book one of a projected three book series. There are dark bits, blood, guts, the death of a major character, and one really bad-ass dog. It may or may not be YA, your opinions on that would be awesome as well.

Thanks!

cheers,
Sunny

Hmm. It sounds interesting! I'm willing to take a look at it. I'm a former editor, though, so I'm quite picky. I can line edit, look for overall story problems, or do a bit of both. You can PM me if that sounds like something you'd be interested in. :)

Hi Pai. Just saw this. I liked your query so I'd be happy to read the real thing. Can't promise I'll be super-speedy, though. PM me if you're interested.

Uggh. Frustrating. I want to read, but I have so little time...maybe I could look at your first chapter? Or any particular spot you feel need a good look through?
