A Preemptive Call for Help
Okay, hi, everybody. I'm jumping the gun just a bit here, but I thought I'd test the waters. I have written a novel. I've done two read-throughs of it, and I'm now beginning the editing process. There is an Open House Call that I'm interesting in pursuing for this novel, as a first go send. It opens Nov. 1st and closes Dec. 31st. The only people I have that have read this novel like it, but I'm very close with them--which, in turn, means they are very close to this story. I need an outsider's prospective. I'm looking for about two beta readers who could, once I've finished edits--I foresee that I could have them done sometime in Oct. ideally--read my novel through by, oh, say, Dec. 1st. (Earlier is better, but yeah, you get me.) Just in case suggestions cause me to have to make big fixes before sending it in. If you're interested, comment here, or message me your email, and I'll send it your way as soon as I'm done. Further information is below the ljcut. Thanks so much in advance. I know it's a lot, and you have no idea how much your insight will mean to me.
Genre is Comtempory Fantasy/Urban Fantasy. Multiple main characters, but first and formost is a nineteen year old college student named Allison. It's about 106,000 words, unedited. I'll update any prospective readers on the final word count when I sent it you. Here's the blurb:
"The cycle begins as it always does. She is born, destined to destroy all of their kind. Phoenix will always rise.
Allison Kay knows nothing of her past in more ways than one. But, at night, she remembers things, things about a girl named Phoenix that she couldn't possibly know--that couldn't have possibly happened. But once the dreams start coming while awake, attempts on her life are made by people with strange powers who call her by Phoenix's name. And it is in one of these would-be assassin's that she must place her trust if she wants to live to find out the truth of her past, and the truth of Phoenix."
I'm unsure of the audience to aim this at--adult, young adult, new adult. Any insight on that would be greatly appreciated as well.
