Looking for beta readers

Hi everyone. I am hoping to find a few people who could be beta readers for my stories. I have had one published - received fairly well and the second is pending publication. I have an editor who is great for the technical stuff but it was recommended to me to have beta readers too.

I don't need suggestions on storylines but rather the execution of what I am writing. Picking up on my over-zealous use of adjectives and culling the frequent run-on sentences are most definitely needed! I am (hopefully) improving on this the more I write but old habits are not so easy to break.

If anyone can help, please pm for conversation in more detail. Thanks for reading :)
 
I would have thought your editor would have taken care of the run on sentences and cleaned up the adjectives. I know I do that for the authors I work with.

I might be interested. What genre?

Hi Tiger,

I am new to this game and am fumbling my way through. The amount of advice I have been given has been quite overwhelming at times - mostly good and sound but still a tidal wave.

I still think beta readers will be a good idea and the objective of their help can evolve into what works best for me anyway x

Hi Dave - The current one is in Erotic Couplings. The first two chapters are in my sig.

I am happy to chat on pm about it but I will say now that beyond you, Dave, I have been offered enough help that I am very happy with and so do not need any more beta readers at this point. Thank you :)

(To anyone I haven't chased up but did pm me - I will be pm'ing you shortly).
