Hi,
I'm looking for a beta reader for my historical fiction novel. I want to start out small with someone, just sending the first few chapters, and from that I want to get feedback about weather or not this is something I should continue working on. I will send more chapters if the person so desires and if I feel comfortable with it.
Please... I don't want to be told to finish something just for the sake of finishing it, you know? If I should be spending my time on something better, then I need to be told so. (Gently, as I am not taking well to criticism at this point in my life).
My manuscript is rough, with lots of still-loose plot points and lots of changes that need to be made. The story is set in 1918 during the Spanish flu, and it revolves around a young man who becomes involved in the life of a child who may posses the ability to heal those around her. (Yes, it has a bit of a supernatural element to it). I am willing to exchange manuscripts with someone who is looking for a similar kind of critique.
Thanks
