In the mind of John Malkovich
I recently finished my first manuscript and I'm in need of a beta (preferably a mentor) to help me. I've made extensive revisions trying to make sure everything flows well and that all questions are answered. Now, I need a pair of fresh eyes to look it over and help me correct anything that seems out of place, whether it be with grammar, plot, or scientific inaccuracies.

I take criticism very well and will listen to anything that can help me make this as professional as possible. I want this story to be as great on paper as it is in my head.

Here's the hook for the story:

When characters from his favorite video game use his television as a portal to the real world, robotics engineer Daniel Petersen expected a technological apocalypse, not a technological romance.

As it stands now, the novel is 100,000 words.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!

I'm not a scientist, and am not even scientifically inclined, but I do love the idea of your story. I can read it for you and tell you my thoughts at different points in the narrative. I'm very good with ideas. Also a sci-fi novel seems best to me when it doesn't get too bogged down with the science, and focuses more on what you're trying to say about life and the human condition. If interested in feedback, hit me up on email
