My friend and I have written a fantasy novel. Do you want to be one of our beta readers?

My friend and I have recently finished a fantasy novel and are looking for beta readers. We are both English undergraduate students and our novel is a work-in-progress. (It is not being professionally edited and is not yet published.) <br><br>We are looking for a maximum of three beta readers and will be willing to return the favour. <br><br>The book is a fantasy novel and is around 85,000 words long. It has been self-edited and has been read by six other students, who have given us feedback. <br><br>Here is a brief summary: <br><br>In the heart of the royal forest, where the ancient magic was rumoured to be at its strongest, a young woman named Eira discovered a mythical being. The being, <br>who possessed extraordinary abilities, was destined to save the four kingdoms of Britain from a powerful and malevolent force. <br><br>As Eira and the mythical being journeyed throughout the kingdoms, they discovered the truth about Britain’s past and <br>the reason why the kingdoms are in chaos. But they soon realise that they cannot save the kingdoms alone. <br><br>Wizards, witches and warriors from different corners of the world must be persuaded to help them defeat the malevolent force. But some of these individuals <br>have their own agendas and will bring destruction to the kingdoms if their demands are not met. <br><br>Here is some information about the themes/styles of the book whether you want to be a beta reader or not: <br><br>a) Each chapter is told from a different character’s point of view. (First person) <br><br>b) The writing style is similar to *Harry Potter* by J. K. Rowling, *The Throne of Glass series* by Sarah J. Maas, and *Percy Jackson and the Olympians* by Rick Riordan. <br><br>c) The story is fast-paced and full of action, adventure and suspense. <br><br>d) The themes of the story are friendship, betrayal, sacrifice, freedom and slavery. <br><br>e) The story has some mature themes such as self-harming, suicide, substance abuse, sexual harassment, and graphic violence. (Please note that these themes are not being glorified and are dealt with maturely and sensitively.) <br><br>f) There is no graphic sexual content in the story, but there is a slow-burn romance and some suggestive content. <br><br>If you are interested in becoming a beta reader or if you have any questions, please send an email to [email protected] and state the following: <br><br>- Your age (Please note that you must be 18 years or older to apply.) <br><br>- Your level of education (Please note that you do not have to be in higher education to apply.) <br><br>- What subjects you study (Please note that you do not have to study a creative subject to apply.) <br><br>- How much time you have to read and give feedback on the novel. <br><br>- What type of stories and genres you enjoy reading. <br><br>- If you have any triggers or sensitive topics that you do not want to read about. <br><br>- If you would like to remain anonymous or receive credit for your feedback. <br><br>Thank you for reading and we look forward to hearing from you!
