Hi there, I have written a book. Think Douglas Adams and Lara Croft had a baby, and she's kind of sad for overall vibes. I don't want to provide a proper synopsis, I'd rather you go in blind, but here are the sparks notes: found family, grief, healing, avoidant lady adventuring, time travel with historical accuracy, an 80 deck spaceship that is fully plotted out, other planets, other species, other cultures. Fascism bad, freedom good. This is my last round of beta readers before it goes to a proper editor, so it should be a smooth read. I am hoping to find a small group of people who will dive into my world and let me know what they think about the things they find there. This isn't an editing job. I don't care about your grammar or sentence structure. I do care about your ability to transfer your thoughts into Google Doc comments, and your willingness to be thorough and honest. Specifics: Read a chapter, leaving comments as you go along. Moments that made you laugh could be a laughing emoji, sentences that feel clunky could have the comment "feels clunky here". I'd like to know what you loved, what you hated, when you get bored, how you feel about characters as the progresses. At the end of each chapter there are a few questions for you to answer, but they aren't homework designed to prove anything, I want your actual thoughts. If they were already explained in a comment, you don't need to repeat it. I'd prefer to hire people I don't need to micro manage to receive genuine effort. With regards to timing, I'd like to mimic as closely as possible to pace you would normally read a book. I don't need a speed-read, but it's also important that breaks don't last long enough for you to lose the plot. Within reason, it's at your discretion. Here is how I would like to do this trial period: I will send you the prologue + first chapter, to be paid at $0.001 per word, regardless of whether or not we continue to work together. ($21) If we decide to continue working together, I will pay the additional $0.001 for what you have already done (total of $42), and then continue at the rate of $0.002. If it is apparent that you haven't read my book, or that you've put it into AI, you will not be getting paid. Obviously. Thanks so much, and please reach out if you are interested.
