Anyone wanna beta-read my book? Familiarity with/enjoyment of historical romance preferred, though not absolutely required, because part of what I'm trying to do here is guage whether or not I've hit my target market. It's roughly 110,000 words--at least, that's what I get when I split the difference between the page count estimate and the actual MS Word count, and it's a nice round number.
I'm mainly looking for general impressions, though I'll probably have a set of questions for after you read it (I don't want to send them before, because I don't want to prime you to look for problems that may not be there or that may be tiny and mild). And I'd like to get feedback by mid-December, just to stay more or less on the schedule I set for myself.
If interested, email my profile address.
My article in
English Journal
is finally published! Print version won't be delivered for another week or so when the magazines ship, but since many of you helped me (a lot) in my beta last year, I thought I'd post a link to my homepage where I put a link up to the pdf.
It's here: [link]
Thank you, everyone!
Congrats, Kristin! (And further reminder why I want you to write for me. :)
Oh, Kristin! I remember you posting an earlier version of that last year, and it still packs a powerful punch. Beautiful work, m'dear.
That's such a powerful piece, Kristin. Congratulations!
I love that damned piece, Kristin. It's really amazing.
Kristin, I loved that piece when I read it the first time around (in your LJ, I think?) Congratulations on getting it published! (Oh, and yeah for having a palce to live!)
Very excited! The piece of fiction I wrote the Reading Report for for B&S this week is actually really great and reminds me why I wanted to do that(Although building a resume and snarking at the bad stuff are good, too, but not as...elevated.)
I'm in San Francisco for a wee vacation, and yet I'm posting a new topic! That's just how much I love you guys.
Challenge #83 (little gods) is now closed.
