Beta Readers Wanted
I'm looking for 2-3 beta readers for a short story, about 1800 words, original light fantasy. Goal is professional publication.
I'm primarily looking for big-picture feedback: Are the characters' motivations clear? Does the plot make sense? Does the ending work? That sort of thing. (To borrow terminology from elissacruz's excellent post on The Different Types of Critiquers, I'm looking for Global Critique. I've also had good results in the past with Reactionist-style feedback, so if that comes naturally to you, go for it!)
I am not looking for critique on writing style or spelling/grammar/punctuation, though if you do spot a typo, by all means point it out.
If you're interested, comment here or PM me. I will happily trade equivalent critique; if you're not a writer, let me know what you'd consider a fair exchange.
