Sci-Fi, fantasy and speculative Indie Authors Review discussion

Hello, readers & fellow authors!

My name is Alex Rodriguez. I'm an indie author looking for reviews for my first book Lapse! My book is best suitable for those who enjoy YA, time travel, sci fi or romance. Any other readers are welcome! I’d gladly send a free copy in exchange for an honest review. The novel is currently available in a PDF or ePub file. Please get in touch with which format you prefer.

The synopsis is as follows:

Nora knows the rules.

Find the time marker, never reveal the secrets of the universe, don't get involved in the time marker's lives.

However, in nearly every single life cycle, they're paired together, when it comes to Mason, she breaks all the rules again and again.

She found him when he was twelve. In high school, Nora taught him his place in the universe. And their lives were thoroughly intertwined-now more than ever.

Despite her mistakes, Nora's job was easy enough, until everything took a sharp turn. Mason is angry with her, with the universe telling her who she ought to be. Nora knows her role, and what that responsibility means. She isn't about to start questioning why things are the way they are, though in her heart her efforts are beginning to unfurl a fog over her judgment.

To add to their cosmic dysfunction, Mason and Nora are only one time warp away from being discovered by time travelers, who would like nothing more than to see Mason restart a life cycle, or thrown out of time completely...

Alex,
I like some of the themes you've got here but the synopsis seems a bit in the weeds and rambly which makes me concerned that the story or writing might be the same. If you have trouble getting readers here you might benefit from streamlining your pitch a bit.
I just queried a story with similar themes to CamCat Books and their submission form, while exhaustive, really forced me to focus on my story from a business standpoint as well as look at all the bits that make up that story. It was a chunk of work but, I came away feeling confident in my story as a whole, even if I don't get an offer out of it.
It's up to you of course, but you might get a lot of the feedback you're looking for just by having to answer all those questions. You'll definitely get a sense of whether your story is ready for self-publishing as well as how to market it in a more focused way. And, at the end of the day, you might just hit the submit button and see what happens. Best of luck.
