Book 2 Rough Draft: Readers wanted! (Patreon)

Hi all!

Weighing in at 131171 words, book two has been assembled in rough draft form and I am looking for some help!

So here is the deal. I need to give Book Two a solid once over before sending it to my editor. Last time I worked with my editor, it took me three months just to work through her edits while trying to still write and post here. Editing was slow and painful due to many simple mistakes that I should have addressed in my first draft.

I am looking for people who love to read and have a good eye for catching my mistakes. I do not need grammar or spelling help (the editor will take care of most of those). Instead, I need people who can help me with continuity, passive voice, etc, stuff that the human brain can spot but a machine won't. I also need some help/ideas with improving plot elements, that kind of thing.

The big reason I am asking for help is time. I still want the time to write and create. My editor and I will spend dozens of hours alone on the manuscript once this step is done, and I would like to see Book Two come out sometime this year ;P

For those of you who wish to help with the beta read, you just need to be able to access google docs from your email. Comment below if you are interested and then PM me your email address. I will shoot you a link to the g-doc, and I have created a Discord page where you can divvy up chapters or create a strategy: https://discord.gg/nURXyQ7

(Please only sign up if you think you will have the time.

For those of you who don't have the time to read but do have some suggestions regarding plot (etc), feel free to drop a comment below or start a discussion here: https://discord.gg/6ppu5m8

I would like to have Book 2 ready to hand over to the editor by the beginning of July. I figure two months should be long enough for a small team of us to get it done.

That's all from me, please let me know if you are interested!
