Availability: NOT AVAILABLE - thanks for all the projects, guys! I'll be busy for a bit now.
Preferences: Sci-fi, fantasy, mythology, contemporary, crime... honestly, hit me up for anything. I write YA, but I read a lot all over the spectrum. However, whether adult or YA, don't ask me about anything sex-driven or send me any manuscripts that have those "sexy but unnecessary" sex scenes because, quite frankly, they make me uncomfortable and I'm going to Hell just for talking about this... (not really)
Most Important: Your work must be
complete.
Length: Any. If you have something 100k+ it will take me more than a few days.
Style: I'll occasionally correct grammar or sentence structure if something keeps popping up, but I am more into character development, plot, and dialogue. I give my honest opinion, but you should remember that it really is just an opinion.
Commitment: I would love to read a partial first. This way we can both know you are getting the best beta experience you can get from me. After that, I will take the complete manuscript. I've tried chapter-by-chapter in the past and it simply didn't work for me.
Timeframe: Anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks, depending on length and my schedule.
Experience: Nothing particularly squee-worthy. I took lots of writing/English/arts classes in college, I've been writing since second grade, and I've been beta reading since I joined AW.
Contact info: Send me a PM. I'll find it somehow despite the new site format, and we'll go from there.
PS: I dislike the beta-swapping culture as it stands lately, so please don't hesitate to contact me even if you think I'll bug you to read my own novel. I really won't.
