Interests: I has it!
So, I received my reply from TOR today. It was hella early and, as I feared, they rejected my novel. Unfortunately they did not as their website stated, send me a forum in which they told me why they could not accept my submission. So, after getting out of the depressed funk - I found motivation.
Ever heard of a site called Lulu?
MY BOOK WILL BE PUBLISHED!
It's not going to be mainstream like I'd planned, but I've read reviews from some pretty well-known authors who say they got their start on Lulu, or by self-publishing in general. Plus, if it gets noticed by a big company - chances are they will pick it up and then it WILL be mainstream.
In any case!
Now my hunt for Beta Readers is really on! Again I cannot offer you money but I will offer you EVERYTHING ELSE!
I need Betas who are willing to put in a lot of work, unfortunately, and because we are now working on a schedule, that just ups the ante. However I will be crediting you in the Novel WHEN (not if) it's published. I will create myself a web-site and include information about you on said website, a link to your page, bio, maybe even hosting your own stuff! Whatever! Also, I'm more than willing to write you something if that is what you want! ANYTHING!
I'm begging you!
The deadline is December 25th of this year. That is when I will click the button on Lulu that will send my novel into publication. So that means that any and all beta readers who want to do this have to have read and submitted stuff by that time. Granted you don't have to finish the whole thing, my betas work by section-to-section, but I can't really add in your input after that date. ;)
PLEASE! PLEASE! I'm needy. ;)
If you are interested and think you can put in the time, even to just do one section for me! Just one! I would love that! Let me know. You can comment or PM me here, on my other sites, or even e-mail me.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
