Looking for readers for my distant future sci-fi manuscript! It's been through a couple rounds of revisions and I'm hoping to start querying it sometime in 2020.

Quick blurb:
Famed inventor Deborah can’t step outside without the haze searing her eyes. That’s life on Earth in 18,000 AD. Her son deserves better but new worlds are out of reach. At least until Deborah unveils her latest masterpiece: a theoretical faster-than-light starship. But her innovation is deemed a threat by political powers with their own vision for humanity. To protect herself, her family, and her project, Deborah will have to navigate political and corporate intrigue and uncover secrets hidden by the aftermath of a recent war. A war not everyone agrees is finished.

While I'm open to all commentary, I'm especially interested in observations on character development. I'm also open to swapping! I most enjoy sci-fi and fantasy, but I will consider any genre/age group outside of Middle-Grade, Historic, or Romance (romance subplots are fine). PM or posting here is fine. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Once again looking for some readers! Open to swapping. Strong preference for getting another read done before November so my attention isn't too split for NaNoWriMo.

I'm going to give this thread another bump. Now that NaNo is over, I'm able to focus again on this project, and potential swaps. :)
