Hi, all! As some of you know, I’ve been working on a dystopian book. I haven’t figured out yet if I want to wait for the first draft to be done to look for alpha readers, or edit before beta readers, or have alpha readers for each chapter as I’m writing it.
But I was wondering if anyone would read my first chapter for me and tell me what you think?
Here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z5vicMp5hAB5-S_gIRJRZxv5T2J4vyOzHBg4Q_LKMug/edit
Let me know if the link doesn’t work. Or if comment access isn’t on or something, cuz I’m pretty unfamiliar with Goggle docs.
Thank you!

www.jennaterese.com@rochellaine Thank you so much for reading my first chapter! I’ve never had anyone read my first drafts before. like, ever. thanks so much for your honesty and help! <3 😀

www.jennaterese.com@jenwriter17 Thank you for letting me! I enjoyed it. And I’m glad you aren’t too scarred by your first experience with a first-draft reader! 😀 Did you see my post in the KP Captions topic about beta readers? I think Josiah’s face at the end perfectly expresses the authors’ feelings when their beta readers dissemble and dissect their novels. 🙂
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@rochellaine ah, no I didn’t see that! was it recent? then i might be able to find it…..

www.jennaterese.com@jenwriter17 Yes, it was recent. I’m the last one who posted something there. 😀
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@rochellaine just looked at it! hilarious! *looks at outlining notes to make sure something like that doesn’t happen* 😉 😀

www.jennaterese.com@Jenwriter17 okay so I don’t want to go into full editor mode and scare you (been there, done that, it was bad xD) so what exactly are you looking for critique on? The general overall chapter? Or some more details like showing vs telling, etc.?

@jane-maree probably general overall chapter, but also stuff like inconsistencies (which some readers have already pointed out), and yes showing/telling stuff. Thank you!!!

www.jennaterese.com@jenwriter17 Could I beta-read? I feel like I should return the favor since you beta-read for me. 🙂
