Hello there, Last night I completed work on the first draft of a story I'm working on for publication. It's in rough draft, and I plan to complete revision on it by tomorrow night. Since I'm working on a tight deadline, I was wondering if anybody would have time later this week to read and respond to some specific questions in regard to the story structure. My hope is to deliver to Beta readers no later than Thursday morning and try to get it back by no later than the end of the weekend, so if this won't work for your schedule, no worries.
The story is 6500 words which will work out to 10 or 11 pages single spaced, 20 or so in manuscript form. It's a chore I'm asking for, so for at least the first 3 people to offer I will provide a final copy of the publication, which is an anthology so will include several stories and other works.
There is definitely a content warning, mostly sexual in nature but some language. It's there for a reason, the story is about sex and marketing, but there is a scene that is fairly graphic, so use your own judgment whether you want to be involved. I would appreciate the help but certainly don't want to accidentally offend anyone (I prefer to know when I'm doing that). You can respond here or email me at djstipe@comcast.net with the words "Beta Reader" somewhere in the subject line.
Thank you for your eyeballs!

P.S. Lots of activity here with some projects ending this month and NANOWRIMO coming up next month - I only have 8 days to write my outline! The result may be some process related commentary in the middle of the week, but I will try to bookend it with some good stuff. Monday's are already committed to Spatchcock, well Friday's are soon to be for something else, tentatively called Faceballs. Stay tuned!
