Emergency beta reader situation (HELP!!!!)

[Ivy Rose]

I really hope this is the right place to post this question…if not, so sorry.

I managed to get myself into a lovely situation of forgetting what month it was (don’t ask how) and forgetting that my intended release date for my first book is coming up VERY QUICKLY. In my mind, I had 4 more months to get this book ready instead of the actual 2 1/2. *PANIC*

Therefore, I find myself in dire need of a few more beta readers. If any of you lovely people are willing/interested to beta read my book, I would give you a bunch of cyber hugs and would shower you with thanks. 🙂

Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to write a cover blurb yet, but here is a blog post from a few weeks ago that tells a little about the story. http://lakesidepublications.com/130-years-ago-today/

In short, The Old River Road is historical fiction (late 1800’s pioneering), based on the lives of my great-great grandparents. It’s about 90,000 words, which is approximately 35 chapters. This is short notice (and I’m so sorry!), so I would need everything back by the end of April.

Format wise, I prefer to send it via google docs, but I can also do it as a word doc if necessary.

Thanks so much!

What would you want a betareader to look for?

[Hope Ann]

Is this Clara’s Story? I’m pretty sure it is…

INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.

[Hope Ann]

Ah, yes it is. I’ll get moving on it. 😉

@dbhgodreigns Mostly little grammar mistakes, punctuation, fluidness…that type of stuff. Also, any general feedback on the story would be most appreciated.

@Hope, yes, it’s Clara’s Story. Did you get the email I sent yesterday?

[Daeus]
