Anyone interested in Alpha reading Blood Over Bright Haven? (Patreon)

EDIT: If you tried the form earlier and couldn't access it, I believe I've fixed it. Please try the link again and let me know if there are any other issues.

So, I've been having a writing problem. While I've gotten decent at polishing a chapter at a time for reader consumption, I'm having a hard time finalizing a whole project from beginning to end. Within a 70,000-word manuscript, there are just too many opportunities for me to get distracted and derailed. 

In the long-term, I'd like to adjust my brain settings to overcome this. In the short-term, I want to cheat and use the serial format to get through this next draft of Blood Over Bright Haven.

To that end, I'm enlisting a team of Alpha readers to look over this draft one chapter at a time. The goal will be to hit one chapter per week, though that schedule may vary. I know this is an unusual and possibly annoying way to get reader feedback (which is why I'm calling it an Alpha read rather than a Beta read) but the linear format should keep me on track with my revisions and hopefully get the book out sooner.

If you're interested in being part of the team, fill out this form: https://forms.gle/UigpybVM4mB8WySYA 

This is also covered in the form itself, but anyone who signs up to read should be:

• 18 or older
• Up for reading one chapter at a time
• Okay with having their first experience of the story be a rough draft
• Willing to offer feedback (either one chapter at a time or in one shot at the end)
• Have time to read 70,000+ words in the next 1-2 months
• Interested in dark fantasy and/or dark academia stories

PLEASE NOTE that if you prefer to read a completed book, you should wait until I'm looking for Beta readers or sending out ARCs. Your time will come!

If you need a refresher on the premise of Bright Haven, here's the post where I announced the project (back when I though it would be a lot shorter!): https://mlwangbooks.com/2021/05/02/new-novella-incoming/

And here are the first and second preview chapters I released here on Patreon.
