I have been a beta reader for my friend Debbie Ellen Carr who has been writing Balancing Syrestia, and have so far have enjoyed every minute of her books.

It got me thinking though that I would love ot become a beta reader for other authors too. So I was told to come on here and let you all know who I am.

Hi Paul, yes please email it to me and I will have a look at it for you then email you back with my thoughts, to keep it that bit more private for you.

Damien once I have read Paul's I will happily have a read of your's I believe Pauls is only one chapter so far so will only take me about half an hour max, I am quite a fast reader lol!

as Debbie will attest too, she says I read quicker than she can type hehehe!!!

I Sarah,

What have you got yourself into lol. I write children's fantasy. If you're ever stuck for something to read I have a completed book but looking at the comments I think you will have reading material for a long long time.

Regards

HI again Sarah, well... I am not all that good at judging the age range, my first thoughts were from about 11ish to 14 15ish but I'm told that's too broad, see what I mean, so maybe its top end 15, I think. It's an action adventure, the protagonist Tom Wells is conned into thinking he's going to be saviour of the world. I have just filled this post with the plot and then realised its an open forum. would you be good enough to give it a read? Regards Paul
