I have a Novel that I wrote a couple of summers ago that I really need to publish. It's been sitting on my hard drive gathering dust. If a brave soul would be so kind as to read it and offer me some useful feedback; I would be forever grateful. I might even give you my firstborn! If you care to take a peek...see below.

A little shed.
Ha, I live in "New Post" so see EVERYTHING.

Main stream fiction doesn't interest me.

However you could post your first chapter or even a few on the Share Your Work forum, it's near the bottom of the main forum page.

The benefit of this is that you could receive a wide range of critique and folks would know whether they would be willing to beta read the whole novel.

Hey, Scott. Welcome to AW. Looks like you've accidentally stepped off the beaten path. Because the Beta Project is actually a special project, this doesn't get a lot of traffic in the "off season" so to speak. You'll want to post your request for a beta reader down in the main Beta Reader forum.

Merged two threads, in case anything looks confusing. :)

Thank you. I ended up with beta two readers, so it's all good.
