Folks, I'm about 2 weeks away from a draft version of Maisy May, and I think I'm really going to need some beta readers. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but gratitude is about the only payment I can offer atm.
Here's a draft blurb:

Maisy's never managed to be a good little christian girl. She's emo, loud, and thinks sermons are boring. Then she meets Mark, the epitome of the good christian boy - on the surface. Is church the right place for people with doubts?

Here's what I need:
- Nitpickers! People who pick up every logical and contextual inconsistency while they're reading a book
- Critics! People who can write down exactly what they liked and didn't like about a book
- LGBT Community - Because there's a strong 'gay' theme through MM, I'd love at least one person in the LGBT community to give me feedback on how realistic and/or offensive it feels
- Teens and/or people who work with teens - because it's basically about two Aussie teens growing up in a country city
- Just regular folks! I need someone who doesn't necessarily fit any of the above categories to give me some 'general feel' sort of feedback
You would need to be aware that there's some bad language (not much, though, esp compared to DEAD(ish)), potential for offense in all sorts of different ways, Australian spelling
, sexual themes, religious themes, even a bit of violence.
If you're interested, I'd love to hear from you, either in the thread or via PM. Please mention which of the categories above that you fit into, because I'd like to get a fairly even spread.
If you're not interested, don't feel bad. If I don't get a single taker, my world will NOT end
