Hi guys. I have just finished my second novella. Scrap Vulture. Which is under 30k words. Would anyone be willing to beta-read it for me? In exchange, I am willing to do the same for you or do a review for your book. (This doesn’t mean the review will be positive)
So what’s it about? Think futurist licensed dumpster diver, minding his own business, running a video channel. Trying not to be murdered by his three cats. Just kidding. He finds something in a dumpster that sets off a chain of events. There is swearing, some fighting. There isn’t gore or anything like that.
Now if you agree, I do want to apologize upfront. I am dyslexic and completely blind to tenses and my own mistakes. I have run it through word editor and Grammarly. But I know its not perfect.
Is there a time limit to when you need the feedback back? If not, you could mail me at , I have a few free days coming up soon and could try have a crack at it. I will not be correcting spelling mistakes or looking at tenses, English is my second language… If that is ok,, I am more than willing to help out with review…

Thank you for that! I would be interested in helping you edit. The only thing is I don’t have a ton of time to dedicate to it on a daily basis, so I’m curious what kind of TAT you’re looking for.
I think in between books if I concentrated on editing your book I would be able to get through it all in maybe a week or two.
Plus it would be super cool to help out another author!

Well its not the editting I am looking for. More just your input on the story than anything. I am not in a super rush for it. Just wanting second opinions on it.

I’m in… belated, I know. But if you’re still looking I haven’t schedule anything really for September reading… I’m happy to beta this one. The first chapter made me curious.
