Hi :) I am seeking Beta readers for my YA/possible crossover to adult novel. It is about a group of teenage boys who just graduated high school and go on a road trip in the early 70's to meet Charlie Manson. It is Literary Fiction and a strong character piece for the main character. It is written in first person is about 240 pages long. I am seeking harsh/strong feedback on the plot and structure of the novel. I am also seeking any help with quering and what genre I should try and push for- for example, do you consider the novel YA after you read it? YA is the market that I want to write for, so if you have suggestions for what I can do to change it up, that would be great. Also, I do not mind if you are not a published author, but I guess some experience with writing and critiquing other people's work would be crucial. Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you. Please respond by e-mail: [email protected]
