Call for Beta-Readers
Tuesday, February 26th, 2013 07:47 pmI have written, I have workshopped, I have revised, and I need someone to tell me if it works now. I need beta readers.
The story in question is original SF, ~800 words. Think Fredric Brown meets Twilight Zone in tone.
I'm primarily looking for big-picture feedback. My perennial question: What did you get out of this? Summarize the story back to me; tell me the plot, the characters, the setting, and the theme as you understood them.
Depending on the answers, I may ask follow-up questions.
I am not looking for critiques on writing style or spelling/punctuation/grammar, although if you do spot a typo, by all means point it out.
If you're interested in beta-ing, please comment here or PM me with your preferred format and means of communication. I'm willing to swap critiques of an equivalent work; if you're not a writer, let me know what you'd consider a fair trade. Aside from my deep gratitude, which everybody gets.
