I only need one beta to help me with revising and writing the synopsis.
PM if you're interested :)

The story:
Nicole Freeman is sucked into growing up fast when her best friend is arrested for treason in their post apocalyptic country Untillez. She has to race against time and everything she's known about life to save him, finding out along the way that the situation is much larger than what's right in front of her.

Have you considered posting your first chapter in the appropriate AW ShareYourWork forum? If not, I suggest trying that first before looking for a beta reader. Besides, a lot more people are willing to read/comment on a chapter or two before taking on an entire manuscript.

The other problem I see is that relatively few beta readers are willing to take on something with obvious grammer problems. I know I find it impossible to think about pacing and characterization when I'm constantly being distracted by poor grammar.

And your comment that you don't care about grammar because you're paying your editor to fix it will alienate people.
