Daniel Clausen The book:
--The current version of the Sage and the Scarecrow is a significantly revised version of a novel I published in 2003.
--The book is short: around 200 pages.
--The book is especially good for those who like literary fiction and philosophy.
--You'll probably like this book if you've read: Catcher in the Rye, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, or Sophie's World
--You'll probably NOT like this book if you read mostly YA, chicklit, or thrillers.

What I'm looking for?
--Someone who will read a free PDF of the book.
--Someone who will give me honest feedback
--Someone who will write a short review on Goodreads

Other benefits?
--If you like the book and think you're a fan of my writing, I can provide you with more free review copies of other books in paperback (as long as I can afford it).

Interested?
--Just message me on Goodreads!

The Synopsis:
Six months after his father has died from cancer, Pierce finds himself in a state of anxiety and crisis. In his mind, there are two worlds. In one world he is a second-year college student trying to finish the semester; in another world, he roams an apocalyptic landscape searching for scraps of wisdom that will lead him to the perfect society. In both worlds, he is on a quest to find a girl named Jennifer, his best friend, true love, and the only person he believes can cure him.

Nathan Jones | 190 comments Hi.

I’m interested in your concept. I enjoy litrerary fiction and have a basic education in philosophy.

I have years of beta reading experience, mainly on CritiqueCircle.com.

Email me the first couple of chapters of your novel and I’ll get back to you, let you know if I can help.

DO NOT send your whole novel. Never send your whole novel to people until you know you can trust them for sure.

Please send it to nathanjpj@hotmail.com

Best, Nathan Jones

Anastasia Ifinedo (staceytheplatypus) | 24 comments Hello Daniel,

I am interested in your work. As it is, I walk the fine line between literary fiction and the other genres you mentioned. I read and love all of them, including literary fiction. But I tend to write more of literary fiction, so I believe we'll click. I know I will love your novel. The blurb itself is already captivating. And what do you know? Philosophy excites me!

I want to read Sage and the Scarecrow. If you want the same thing, you can email me your PDF : anastasiaifinedo03@gmail.com

Looking forward to reading your work.
