I need beta readers for my historical novel set during ww2 on Guersney during the Nazi occupation. I have attempted to give friends and family it to read but no one reads it. I have rewritten the MS probably ten times and I believe it is now ready for publication bar a few gramma issues etc. If you are interested, please PM me or email me at [email protected]

Kellie, maybe post a synopsis or the first ~300 words to let potential readers see if they'd be interested?

Good idea!
In June 1940, Nazi Germany bombed the Island of Guernsey, bringing World War II to the Channe Islands. With her home in the midst of war, jazz singer Catherine La Mar must adapt to change Within days, the occupation has taken over the Island which in turn causes resistance cells to emerge, hindering the German forces. Catherine's emerge, hindering the German forces.

Catherine's life is inevitably transformed when childhood friend Thomas Potter is linked as the ringleader. The people she once knew are no longer who they seem to be. But nothing could prepare her for when she meets Nazi officer Captain Max Engel. Her view on the war forever changes when she is given a chance for love and new beginnings. But will her forbidden love affair jeopardise all whom she loves?

Hi Kellie,

How long is it, and are you willing to beta a novel in return?

Thanks,

Matt
