I am writing a short crime fiction piece which I aim to send to one publisher in particular. I haven't yet finished, but will very soon. It is estimated to be about 6k words which is a little too long for SYW. So I thought maybe someone here would like to do just a quick beta read of the piece. I don't really have a fully fledge blurb and I'm coming up with this one right now so don't judge its corniness; you get the picture of the story. Thanks guys and if you're interested, just leave a comment here and I'll PM you. I estimate the story to be done on Monday/Tuesday; I haven't really started so...
Here's the impromptu blurb:
"What if you were the star of a game show where murder is the entertainment? What if you killed people on live TV? What if you were paid to murder people of your choice just to entertain TV viewers? But what happens when it goes too far...?"
Sorry, I know that blurb sucks but essentially, it's about a game show where the focus is killing people and viewers watch you kill people from their TVs. Anyone interested in a quick beta read?
