I've just completed a rewrite and expansion of my 2013 low fantasy/swashbuckler novella No Good Deed... to make it a full-length novel. Before I begin the editing pass I'd like to have someone read through it. BUT I'm not just wanting a simple read. What I'm particularly looking for is:
1) First, I'd like an initial read to be from someone who has never read the novella, and would not be judging the work from that context.
2) After that initial read, I'd like a second reading to be done AFTER reading the first edition to get an idea of how the changes I've made work in comparison to the original version. Does it provide better context for events? Does it flow better? Are the characters better fleshed out with the additional content? Is there something the novella did better? Did I introduce any continuity gaffes or plot holes during the expansion?
If anyone is interested I will either gift an e-Book version of the novella or make a PDF available for the second read.
