Title: looking for a couple of alpha readers
Post by: Nessa on April 12, 2010, 03:44:36 AM

I need a couple of alpha readers interested in reading a novel I just finished writing (about 70K words currently). It's been through my writing group, so the second draft is finished. I need comments, mostly, to make sure it doesn't suck, and to help me further refine the story. It's (light) sci fi/romance so my audience is primarily female. But I would really super appreciate a guy's perspective on the male lead character if any of y'all are interested.

I'd be willing to as well, although I have to admit I don't read much sci-fi. On the other hand, that might be a good perspective to have.

I'd love to give you my input, Nessa. Male sci/fi fan sound like a good demographic?
