Hiya! I've recently completed the last (so far) edit on my novel and I'm looking for beta readers. I'm currently querying agents but would love to get input from everyone who might be interested. I'd be more than happy to do a swap or critique your work - I'm open to reading most genres, though I'm most knowledgeable about fantasy and sci-fi.

About the book
It's about 130,000 words; I'm a huge fan of genre-transcending stories but I would define it as a sci-fi with thriller/suspense elements and a bit of mystery. Since I'm studying Psychology and Neuroscience, the focus of the book is on psychology and the human mind. If you've ever felt excited to learn more about mental disorders such as psychopathy, how human memory works or what the role of language is, this might be the perfect read for you :)

Feedback
I appreciate honest feedback. If you can provide such in a gentle way, all the better but I'd take your harsh criticism with an open mind too. I'm looking for any form of feedback - your opinion on the book as a whole or detailed critique, if you feel like it.

Publishing
As I mentioned, I'm in the process of querying agents. I've been published before but it was in another country so this is my first attempt to get published in the UK.

If you're interested, PM and I can give you more details about the story. Thanks! :)
