Hi! I'm looking for a potential beta reader in a similar situation as I am with similar goals/needs so that we can make the most of each other's time.
I am in the late revision stage of an 85k steampunk fantasy novel that I am seeking to have polished and ready to query in the next month or so. I am looking for a beta with an interest in fantasy (to avoid my current problem of having too many well-meaning literary fiction friends whose response has been something like "I like this a lot but I can't offer you much because I hate fantasy fiction").
I am looking for someone who is open-minded and serious about the traditional publishing process, who can commit to reading through the entire manuscript in about two-four weeks. I am willing to do the same in exchange. I am primarily concerned with pacing, the strength of the characters, and what can be "tweaked" about the manuscript before querying agents. I am happy to critique for my beta according to the needs of their own ms.
If you are at a similar stage in your WIP and are a reliable reader with some free time in the next few weeks, please feel free to PM me!
