New Project Beta Readers

So few readers, so little time....okay, so I didn't manage to find many readers with The Ugly Princess, which was rather heart-breaking actually, but at least (for the vast majority) for those who did read it, they fell in love with Olive as well. Yes, I'm still working on the sequel, but it is not finished (but going very well).

Sometimes life takes over and takes you down another path than what you planned. Part of that path was beginning on a new series of books called: The Woofapalooza. Book 1: The Devil in a Dog Suit. It's about a shy little dog who must win a big Dog Show in order to save his friends, and I'm very proud of it. I'm looking for a few beta readers if there is anyone out there who's interested. I need a couple of Beta's for the first half of The Ugly Princess sequel as well. If anyone's interested, please let me know. I'd love the help.

Thanks! Henderson

Alexandra Preston I'd be very interested in being a beta reader if you are still looking for some folks!

Silvia I'd be very interested too, either on the new series or on The Ugly Princess sequel.
My daughter and I loved the Ugly Princess, we found soooo much in it! Must confess, I'm not English native speaker, not sure to be a suitable beta reader, although motivated... But I still launch my candidature! :)

Hello Alexandra, thank you so much for volunteering! I'll email you a copy of The Woofapalooza this week. Could you send me the email address I should send it to? Thanks again and I really look forward to hearing what you think about it. Henderson

Hello Silvia, It is not a problem in the least that English is not your first language, you obviously speak it very well. Thank you so much for volunteering! I'll email you a copy of The Woofapalooza this week. Could you send me the email address I should send it to? Thanks again and I really look forward to hearing what you think about it. Henderson

Thank you, Carolyn, for letting me know you love The Ugly Princess. I love it too and the second book is even better (or so I think). Keep in touch. Let me know if you want to be a Beta Reader for it. Warm regards, Henderson

Carolyn I love too! But english is not my first language. Does it matter?

Alexandra Preston I would be happy to send you my email address. However, I am unsure of how to do that aside from posting it publicly to this thread. I don't think that I am able to email you directly through the goodreads system without being contacted first? Please let me know if I am mistaken in that.

OlivePotter Please continue writing it anyway! I'm dying to read it!

OlivePotter Oh my god, I would love to be a Beta Reader! I am so excited!!!

I have a general question for all authors; How do you write so many pages, when to the reader it seem that everything is going so fast, but everything is happening in like twenty pages? I would really like to be an author, but every time I finish a story it's like forty seven pages long. Do I just write short stories then?

OlivePotter Oh, and if you can have me as a Beta Reader, I'll send you my email then. (I don't want to put it on-line unless necessary)

The Beginning...

So, my first step into the world of "authors" and I am intimidated. Will anyone like my book? Will people be mean and horrible and tear it apart? I've always considered books some of the best friends ...more
