I can handle anything except elves and unicorns.

My book is about an imbecile boy growing up with certifiably insane parents during the Great Depression. He meets and falls in love with a mute girl who has been raised inside an abusive orphanage.

Cool! I've cut my book down to four pages by using a 0.00037 point font. It should be a snap for you to critique now.

I might be interested in that.

No elves, no unicorns. 86,700 words at this point.

Are you fixed up Ackerman? My MS is 105,000 words (size isn't everything), it's a humorous adventure, an uncomplicated beach read, an airport book.

I've trolled through 3 months of posts in this Beta Reader categorie and this is the first fit for my search.

Anyone on this page interested?

I would totally be willing to swap. Mine is about a church secretary with 3 thumbs, an invisible unicorn friend and a mother who's a pathological liar. Only thing: no backsies. If we swap books, you have to really keep mine. No fair trying to give it back, especially not with "comments."
