Hi groupies! I'm looking for some Beta readers! I have completed my personal edits for part 1 of my next book, "The Forgotten: Heir of the Heretic" and would love some input from historical fiction readers! I think you'd have a lot to offer in terms of historical content and clarity.
Please let me know if you are interested. I can send you a Word doc via email (see below). You will be listed in the acknowledgements/thanks section at the end of the book. Please be sure to identify yourself when you email me as an "OLD School Groupie."
Word count for part 1: 62,601 Due date: I would appreciate all responses by mid-May (By that time, I may have part 2 ready for beta reading!!! ;) ) If interested, email me at: jess@teasippinnerdymom.com
