When I ask someone if they would be interested in a copy of my book for comment, and they say yes, how long after is reasonable to follow up and ask if they have had a chance to glance at it? Would you say a month is not being too naggy?
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

I would, but let the publishing pros weigh in. Some offices kind of close down for the summer, though.

Because books.
Can you explain what you mean, Typo? What does "for comment" mean? A review? A quote?

I'm hoping for a mention in a blog post. So somewhere between a public comment and a review.

In my experience, that's not the sort of thing you nudge someone about. If they're interested and have time, they'll do it.

Finished my history and the first chapter of "Deadlands".
The main character is Jill who has a lot in common with Jilli-Voice-Reason, but is not her. (For one thing, Jill is a dedicated Bicyclist.) Whether she continues to have a lot in common with Jilli will depend on Jilli's permission, though other fiction has been based upon her.

I'm looking for Beta readers if anyone is interested. Profile addy is good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's unsurprising and depressing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
