So I am seriously writing for the first time. I have 56K words on one novel, 22K on another and 12K on a third.
I've concentrated on one of them as of late and have a good chunk in what I would call "polished."
I'd like to have an objective beta reader.
I'm not looking for a trained book reviewer, just someone to let me know if it's enjoyable, interesting and what they think.
I've had friends and family read it & they have raved about it, but I want an outside opinion.

I've had an offer from a half ass publisher to self publish with a decent advance. I guess what I want to know is it good enough to try and approach a real pub house.

So if anyone is interested shoot me a PM.

It's a fairly gory horror story, so be warned.

Fitzy
