I’m looking for beta readers for a Middle Grade Historical Paranormal (Fantasy?) that should be ready to go out at the beginning of March. I'd also love it if anyone was looking for critique partners for a longer-term, back-and-forth type relationship.
As well as 'purely' readers, I’M HAPPY TO SWAP with other MG authors, or take the equivalent in YA/Adult to critique.
It’s currently sitting at approx 65K, but I'm hoping to trim at least 5K off before it goes out.
I’m looking for broad overviews (where to cut bulk, plot holes, OOC etc) so you definitely don’t need to be a line-editing whiz (although, of course, I’d love any and all insights!).
