I have a big Book Update.

TLDR; I need Grimdark Beta Readers. Contact me via Tumblr IM or through Twitch whisper if interested.

So, here we go with the more detailed explanation. 

I finished chapter 28 and decided to split the book in 2. Book 1 is Chapter 1 -27. Book 1.5 is Chapter 28+ all of the previous draft. I label it 1.5 because the draft for Book 2 exists and its mostly for my own organization.

Before the split, Book 1′s word count was 216, 861 words.

After the split, Book 1′s word count is 158,816 words. Book 1.5′s word count is 58,045.

I am now at the point where I need Beta Readers.

I need Beta Readers that:

1. Are interested in Sci-fi/Fantasy &/or Grimdark. Genre is on the thin line.
2. Give constructive criticism.
3. Can read 1 chapter a week.
4. Give me a detailed response (More than 1 sentence) on each chapter.

I’ll be sending a short questionnaire, which will act like a template to help with more detailed responses, for each chapter. 

With that said, I’m stuck at this stage. I will need a couple rounds with Beta Readers before I get a Professional Edit. After the Professional Edit, I will go over Book 1′s manuscript one more time, then I will publish.
