Hello,

I am seeking a beta reader (or several readers) for my first completed manuscript,
a 65,000-word novel, The Forest and the Sea. Set amidst the frenetic backdrop of the 1986 World Cup and the lush rainforests of Mexico, The Forest and the Sea is a story of youth and possibility, of lost worlds and the clash of civilizations, and of loss and redemption. The novel is solidly literary fiction, with strong elements of magical realism. Feedback on my query letter would also be appreciated.

I would be more than happy to return the favor, and am able to read a few manuscripts per year.

Please let me know if you're interested or if you would like to hear more about the project.

Cheers,
Forever Wilderness

I write and read literary so could have a look. Maybe swap first chapters and synopses and see what we think?

I am interested too, your novel sounds fascinating :)

I haven't finished my MS yet, but I would appreciate a beta down the road.
