Descripción de la oferta
I’m preparing my 80,000-word debut novel for self-publication and need a sharp beta reader who can tell me, in plain language, whether the book’s two intertwining storylines truly come together. The manuscript follows Jordan Braham—a morally conflicted congressional wife with a hidden cosmic destiny that drives everything she does—and Detective Drake, a financial-crimes investigator chasing a shadow organization across Washington DC, Europe, Papua New Guinea, and even deep space. Ancient gold, a centuries-old conspiracy, and a portal that could upend reality all converge, blending the high-stakes suspense of The Da Vinci Code and the legal intrigue of The Pelican Brief. My top priority is dual narrative clarity, so I’m specifically looking for a narrative structure critique: Are the alternating chapters easy to follow? Does information surface at the right moment? Do both protagonists feel equally urgent and necessary? While you read, please also keep an eye on pacing, character believability, and how naturally the cosmic mythology meshes with the political thriller framework. Deliverables (within 4–6 weeks): • A written report (2–4 pages) detailing narrative structure strengths and weaknesses, with concrete suggestions for smoothing the dual storyline. • Inline comments in Word (Track Changes) or a PDF mark-up highlighting moments of confusion, sagging tension, or missed opportunities for inter-protagonist resonance. • A brief summary paragraph gauging overall readiness for publication. If political thrillers laced with conspiracy, strong female leads, and historical mythology are your sweet spot, I’d love to hear your detailed project proposal outlining how you’ll approach the read and structure your feedback.
