Genre: Epic fantasy. Notes: Written in third-person omniscient view with Australian spellings (pretty much British).

Feedback: I can take harsh criticism and would ideally like someone to read the whole manuscript (currently 96,000 words) and work with me through the rough patches. A long-term partner to read other work would also be great, but not necessary.

Publishing: Looking for the traditional publishing route with an agent, but open-minded.

Credentials: Previous beta-reading/mentoring experience much preferred, but willing to accept all knowledgeable individuals.

A little about the book: Two local farmers seek the forest wise woman for their annual harvesting predictions, but she gives them something completely different. She foresees impending doom for the world of Orastim. Worried, they seek the local sorcerer and end up on a quest to save the world of Orastim from the evil scouring its lands.

Welcome, Edwent, but...

...willing to accept all knowledgable individuals? !!

Beta reader, long-term partner, someone to work you through rough patches...plus a mentor. Have you any idea what you are asking for?

Why not have a browse around, contribute and get to know folk and let them get to know you before seeking to benefit from using up someone else's precious time.
