It took a bit longer than I’d hoped, but I have finally finished the polishing pass for The Storm Weaver’s Daughters, and it is ready to go to beta readers.
For those of you who aren’t as deeply immersed in the writing world and its jargon as I am and have no idea what a beta reader is: it’s someone who reads a finished manuscript and gives feedback on it before the writer sends the manuscript out on submission. Kind of like a test audience to see if the story holds together and everything makes sense.
That being said, I’m looking for beta readers for The Storm Weaver’s Daughters. You don’t have to be a writer to be a beta reader. In fact, I’d like to find a balanced mix of writers and non-writers to read this novel in order to get different types of feedback.
If that sounds interesting to you, here’s some more info:
