Hey all! I'm currently on the last draft of my novel. It's a high fantasy occurring on a continent largely inspired by Africa, with a focus on cultural exploration and conflict resolution. It's about 300k words long, and takes place across three nations. The story is centered on queen who's country is on the verge of war with her strongest ally, and her struggles to resolve the conflict diplomatically before the situation spirals out of control. <br><br>I'm currently looking for a few beta readers in exchange for a pdf copy of the book. <br><br>This is what the book currently needs: <br><br>* A proofread for grammar and consistency. The book is relatively free of grammar errors, but there may be a few technical mistakes in formatting or minor grammatical errors.<br>* A check for consistency of the cultures and customs. The world is most heavily influenced by various African cultures, with some influence from South and Central Asia. While I did a great deal of research, I am white, so I want to make sure I haven't messed anything up. <br>* A general review. If there's anything you dislike about the story and characters, anything in particular you enjoyed, anything you felt was confusing, etc. <br><br>This isn't something I expect to be a huge undertaking. You can go at your own pace, and I would prefer you focus on the first two points over the last if you don't feel like writing a longer review. <br><br>If you're interested, please message me or comment below!
