Looking for Beta Readers
Yolanda wrote: "I'm interested. It sounds very good."Thank you! My first name is Yolanda too. Would you like me to send the draft by MS Word attachment?
No, I can send you a link to read it online. It's a previous draft of the story. My MS Word format is my latest version.
I almost forgot to add that I would give my beta readers a free signed copy of my book when it comes out too (Probably within a year & a half) That's the publishing date that I'm pushing for. Thank you!
I will take the latest version (word). Thanks

I'm kind of new to Goodreads & looking for social buddies!
This sounds lovely! Are you in need of anymore readers?
Melanin wrote: "This sounds lovely! Are you in need of anymore readers?"Yeah, sure! I'm open to a few more.
I'm still looking for more beta readers!

Okay. It seems a lot of members aren't active anymore. So far, I heard back from only one person after sending this draft to over 20 members Lol.
I'm going to gradually finish my WIP.
I haven't started it yet. I'm sorry I've been sick.

I’m halfway through. Will finish soon
Hey Everyone!
I'm looking for beta readers for my new Contemporary fiction draft.
I completed it several months ago. It would be professionally edited soon and I would be self-publishing it next year.
It's about 116,000 words. Also, I have a business plan to adapt this story into a film someday. Here is some info about the story.
It's a pro-black love story. There's drama, politics, empowering & sexy dark-skinned black women & men. Strong black female/male leads. Gems are dropped throughout the story.
A multigenerational tale between two families that are adamant against their children getting romantically involved. The story deals with many important social issues. It's unapologetically black & it has many triggers.
A wealthy/powerful black politician's son is accused of rape by his girlfriend. He goes out of his way to protect his son & his family's reputation.
The Summerville family has spent decades building their dynasty. They are the richest black family & the third richest family in the world. They are on the verge of creating black wall streets around the globe & helping the black community make the greatest comeback in the history of mankind.
Senator Summerville is the CEO of a very successful pro-black organization (very reminiscent of what a modern-day Black Panthers would have been) that has united blacks around the globe and staged a permanent boycott in order to keep the black community's trillion-dollar net worth flourishing in their own communities.
The Summervilles are assertive & brilliant and they plan to keep their powerful status in society come hell or high water and if anybody dares step into their path, they would be put in their place.
Thank you!
