i'm a beginner writer. And I seek a beta reader with alot of time on their hands. Someone who would make a good mentor to read my first novel. Memories of the fallen angel. Alot of people liked it, and I've been looking around the web for a good audience.

My point is I'm looking for a beta reader to read my story. He/she has to have alot of time on their hands and must be very patient with beginners(not too much to ask right?)

If you are interested please send me an email at [email protected] or if you have instant messaging you can look at my profile. (AIm is preferred.)

Thanks and remember it's 7000 words. So reply if you have plenty of time.

Blue - yes, it is a lot to ask, I'm afraid.

Beginners do not attract mentors. You need time on your own to read, study and think about what you have read, and then practise what you have learned.

Behind you! Boo.
If this is a WIP, it might be better to wait until you are finished. Or at least half finished.

I too.......would DEFINITELY enjoy having a writing partner........and, nothing so serious as a taskmaster per se.....but "hey, let's motivate each other and laugh a lot" kind of thing........My writing is mainstream fiction.........and I'm also working on a science fiction manuscript......but, my main love is mainstream fiction.......

Anyone want to latch on to a partner/motivator/critic/mentor/friend.......let me know.....who knows, we might even have some fun, make a new friend in the process...
