Call for Beta-Readers

lagilmanWhat I need:
Five - seven people (more or less) who have the ability (and the willingness) to read a WiP carefully, and give useful feedback in a prompt (no more than a week after each section is posted) manner. I'm looking for READERS, not copyeditors.
Useful feedback: "I didn't like X because Y" and "I really liked X because Y."
Not-useful feedback: '"This was good/this was bad."
I can't predict how quickly the sections will come - this is not a project that's being written quickly, except when it is. I can tell you that it will start in February, and probably run through July. You will be seeing it straight off the brain, so if occasional spelling errors and [brackets of wisdom] irritate you out of a story, then you're probably not right for this gig (sorry).
Things I can tell you: It's fantasy. It's not urban fantasy. It's not medieval-analogue fantasy. It's going to run approximately 100,000 words (wild guesstimate at this point). That's about it. :-)
You can volunteer here, or email me at LAG-at-LauraAnneGilman-dot-Net
Thanks!
