Dear potential beta-readers:

For those of you who may be interested, I am looking for 2-3 beta readers who are willing to critique my WIP, Skin Deep. Please PM me at your earliest convenience if you'd like to discuss this further. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Synopsis:

This tumultuous love story is about a street smart, African American teen from the projects of Detroit, MI, named Charlene (Charlie) Jacobson. She moves to the fictional rural town of Millersville, GA during 1988 to live with her grandmother after her younger brother is killed in a random drive-by shooting. She meets and reluctantly falls in love with a white, charismatic, senior track star named Ryan Quinn. Ryan dreams of moving to California and competing in the Olympics, but when Charlene enters his life he not sure what he really wants anymore. Their newfound love is tested by family, friends and society, but the real obstacle is overcoming their own insecurities and beliefs about race, sex, and following their dreams.

WARNING: This novel does contain some graphic language, violence and explicit sex scenes, so if you are easily offended please do not apply.

Behind you!
Good decision, SYW. In my own experience, sharing the opening not only gets you some valuable feedback but intrigues people, and some will gladly read more. It also helps the author ID who's a good fit and who just doesn't get it.

Maryn, not a romance reader in general
