Hey guys, I have TIME on my hands. Word is closed. This NEVER happens. Someone send something to beta, please. I'll take anything at this point to stave off fatal ennui. My next edit doesn't come in until mid-December, and I can usually tear through a beta in a single night, so this excess of time could get rough if you guys don't save me soon!

Hi Niniva,
Thanks very much for availing yourself. I have a 3k word short story about some tourists on safari. It really needs beta reading and I'd really appreciate it if you could help.
Thanks

There's three big novels in front of ya, but for such a short story, I can bump them just a bit.

What's your beta wordcount limit?
I don't really have one, but about 150k is I guess a good top end. If it's something massive, like 450k, I'll still do it if I have time remaining, unless it's high fantasy. Other fantasy, no problem, but I'm not even a Tolkien fan. Though I loved The Hobbit, the rest just dragged for me.

Feel free to email me at [email protected] or friend me on Facebook at leigh.hogan.77 .

A note on time: I expect the three betas I have to take about a week. Even with these two betas added, I also expect I'll still need one or two more to keep busy until my next edit comes in mid-December.
