I have some experience beta reading and I specialize in character development, theme integration and nuances of foreshadowing, increasing tension and keeping flow in a scene. Working big-picture is one of my better skills especially in speed-reading and while I don’t have very much experience in hard SciFi I have two siblings who are huge on SciFi technological validity and I have a lot of interest in scientific theories and premises that have systematic complexity.
If you’re willing to give it a go, I think I can read it in that time-frame but I’ve never tried it before so it’s be an exciting new experience for me. Would you be willing to beta read a finalizing-revision-in-progress of 30–35K words of a high-fantasy thriller? (I actually snorted when you said not romance, I completely agree 😄) I’d be especially interested in hearing your insights since I’ve read a couple of your critics of other stories and they’re clear and innovative without any over-sensitivity to the author’s feelings.
