I've got a 73,500 word Mystery novel that I've recently written. It's not a James Patterson style mystery more a Janet Evanovich style. Not very gory and only minimal language.
I keep calling it a first draft but I have gone through it 3 times to remove continuity errors, spelling/grammer errors and all many, many adverbs. I guess this is a first draft that I'm allowing others to read.
My concerns for the book are story flow, advanced grammer, and if I should end it where I have or continue on. Ideally I'm looking for a beta to critique my work line by line and if they think I should continue on with the story, some ideas would be greatly appreciated. I would like a very detailed and constructive critique. If you're the type to just say "This part sucks." as opposed to "This part sucks, you should consider doing XYZ." We might not get along....
I would love to Beta a book in return. I've never done it but I have no problem being honest and with a little guidance I'm sure I can give you exactly what you're looking for.
Thanks for reading and if you have any additional questions about my novel feel free to ask.
