Now accepting Beta readers!
« on: February 09, 2009, 03:42:11 PM »
*g* So, I mentioned awhile back that I had been working on my own novel the past couple of years, and I'm on track to finish my final edit this week, sending out queries to agents tomorrow, but I've found I want a little more input and thoughts.

So, considering all of you are my most trusted writing friends (and I think could appreciate what I was trying to do), I'm opening my world to any of you interested. Jacy was kind enough to be my Alpha reader, and all of the input she gave me I think helped to really blossom what I had to start with.

If anyone is interested (and has some free time, it's about 89k words), let me know, along with your email, and I'll send it in a zip file.

Did you email change? I got a bounce back from someone trying to email you through the forums.

89k words? Wow, nice. What is that translating into pages wise? About 200? I could try and set aside time to read it.

I could have been a contender.

It's about 340 or so (double spaced).

And yeah, I had to change it awhile back when I moved. I'm at aseggemeyer.at.comcast.net

Sorry about the delay in sending it, I'm just finishing up the last 20 or so pages of editing tonight, then I have to put it in. I should be able to get the majority of that done tonight and have it sent out by the weekend at the latest.

So, I finally finished my second edit and am pretty pleased with the result, I've sent out copies of the draft to Geoff, Dana and Parin with the emails you provided. Todd; I didn't know if you wanted one, but I sent one to your name Wheel of Time.org account.

Anyone else is interested feel free to let me know. If it gets published I'll throw your name in the credits. ;)

RAE.

(Time to start on my next outline, got both a sequel and a new novel planned.)

I'll send it asap.

Also, you all may notice some characters have names I've pretty much taken from some dear friends. If they disapprove (hint) I'll change them without question to something they wish or I'll come up with one on my own.

No worries over here!  None at all.

You could use my real name for all I would care!  ...but, Garrison, is much cooler!  Stick with Garrison...trust me!

Hey aaron, I finished your novel and wrote up my opinions, that I've sent to you. It's a rather long email, I hope you don't mind, and I hope it's helpful!
