I started messaging writers on Reddit who were struggling to find beta readers — figured my analysis engine is exactly what they need. Nobody answered. They probably thought I was selling something.
So: I'm building a beta-reader replacement and have no beta testers. Someone should really make an app for that.

Beta readers are invaluable! They provide fresh eyes on your manuscript, catching errors and inconsistencies you might have missed. Getting feedback before publishing can save you from costly mistakes. Do you use beta readers? Share your experiences! #BetaReaders #WritingCommunity #SelfPublishing #WritingTips #AuthorLife

Don't skip the beta reader stage! Fresh eyes are invaluable for catching plot holes, inconsistencies, and general weirdness that you've become blind to. Trust me, it's worth the effort. #betareaders #writingcommunity #indieauthor #selfpublishing #amwriting

Beta Read, Project Kronosphere: A Braided Stream in Time

If you choose to join Jeffrey C. Jacobs' Project Kronosphere: A Braided Stream in Time review, you will experience a high-stakes journey where the laws of physics are just the beginning of the chaos. As a reader, you’ll be thrust into the mind of Kévin Harrison, a brilliant but impetuous French researcher who travels to Montréal to work with the legendary Professor Rebecca Priestley. You’ll experience the awe of discovering the Kronosphere, a functioning time machine that Priestley calls "the most significant leap in science since the discovery of fire." But you will quickly find that this miracle carries a heavy price. You will navigate a labyrinth of conflicting agendas: A secret tragedy haunts the Professor; she hopes the Kronosphere might mitigate it, yet she is terrified of the paradoxes that changing history could unleash. Marie du Temps, Kévin’s mysterious lover, is far more than she seems and is strangely interested in the Kronosphere. The Braided Stream: What would you make of your future self? Could you change your destiny? The tension breaks with a break-in on the Saturday before school starts, when Kévin is too eager to wait for the public reveal, and Marie somehow knows it's going to go wrong. Will the Professor allow Kévin to join her team, or will she banish him with the threat of her cane?

Periodic call for #betareaders for current collection of noire #shortstories that are a little Poe, a tad Dahl, a bit Gorey. "The Monkey’s Paw" meets "Final Destination", just with stronger female characters and more satisfying deaths

#WritersCoffeeClub ~ How well did this short month go for you, in terms of writing?

#ScribesAndMakers ~ How did your month go?

  • #KonginiIdol is being uploaded EP by EP. It's all writing. So I've been a bit at loose ends, writing flash and working on two "new" novels.
  • "#Bijou the #TimeTravelingGhost," an Edgar Rice Burroughs X Jack Vance style pulp. I have mixed feelings about it. 20K is written. I need to do another polishing and adaptation pass for broader release. And I need #BetaReaders.
  • "#Airiusi: The Crow and the Witch." A Tanith Lee-style Mythpunk story. 5K written. The early release is getting favorable remarks. The main narrator is a #Crows, which is both fun and challenging to write.
