Title: Would anyone like to be a beta reader?
Post by: Kate on 13 May 2015, 19:23:29: Hi all.

Would anyone like to be a beta reader?

I've found it impossible to get a job so I've started doing some writing to see if I can make some money out of it eventually. I was hoping to write a book for Kindle.

Would anyone be interested in reading some of it and giving me feedback?

I don't have any writing talent whatsoever but I've got nothing to lose.

My first bit of writing is about a woman who feels so guilty about killing her friend's husband that she plans to commit suicide. The problem is that she is too scared to do it.

It's complete fiction by the way.

Let me know if you are interested. I don't mind you telling me its complete rubbish.

Thanks. :y

Kate

Thanks very much. :y

If you are interested I can send you some of my first book but I'm not going to finish as it's not commercial? It's called 'The Epileptic Rabbit'. It's 37000 words mind!

Post by: jimbobmccoy on 15 May 2015, 20:39:51: That sounds most intriguing. Happy to look at both of them. I generally read an average paperback in a few hours, so not sure how that translates In to 37000 words!?
