I’m looking for 2-3 readers for my speculative novel Of an Age – complete at 68,000 words. It has been through multiple rounds of beta and self edits, so it should be close to query quality.

I am willing to swap for any genre and length.

Daniel is a fifteen-day-old ditch digger in a post-modern society who unearths a 50-year-old relic that unlocks the truth to why his race lives for an average of 75 days. His discovery leads him to undergo a procedure that halts the rapid aging process, but he is now stuck at age 25 while his love, his siblings, and his child age and die around him. He is on course to discover the lost history of his people and the hidden truths that keep them prisoners in their short lives, assuming he can survive the torment and agony of relative immortality.

If you need a fourth beta, I would be interested as well.

OP, my novel is much much longer than yours and therefore probably an unfair time commitment for me to ask, but I would be happy to swap 68,000 words if you’re still seeking more partners.
