Aberrant Magic 6 (Patreon)

I found an editor available in July who is willing to read the previous books.  That's going to be about $650.  The cover artist who did the last cover is available for $150.  So the break even is $800 (not counting my time).  I'm going to start posting AM6 here next week under the $3 level.  So, I have a question.

How many of you could give feedback on the universe and whether I'm consistent and clear on the magic?

Would anyone be able to read with an eye to how I'm treating Native issues (one character is half Tarahumara, half Mexican)?

Who would be willing to chip with with grammar errors or places where I've overused or repeated a word?

Would anyone be willing to do release day reviews in August or September when it comes out?


If all goes well, I hope to do books 7 and 8 with the first of the evil ifrit breaking into this world.  That would be my planned "season one."  I had thought to do a season two with a new main couple and the magical rules changing as the barriers between worlds breaks down, but right now I'm going to call myself lucky to get season one done, and I'll play it by ear from there.

I can do feedback on magic consistency (internal & prev. books), grammar (I used to teach it & do editing), & reviews. I’d keep an eye out for representations of Native culture/characters, but I don’t have enough cultural knowledge to br re

(argh) to be relied on for thoroughness & accuracy. 😅

Lyn- there a way on Patreon to private message? If not, is there a good email address I can reach you at?

I honestly don't know. That's so sad. But you can email me at litgal1@gmail.com

Thank you so much! And I'm so glad someone will be keeping an eye on the magic and poking me when I need to explain more clearly

Very happy to hear it! I love these series. I can do 1 and 3. Can’t do 2 - just don’t know enough. Can possibly do 4, but can’t promise. Can promote it on Facebook. You really should be on MM rec groups there. Lots of authors are. I look forward to the book 6.

I'll be happy to write a release day review! Also, one suggestion is to check out www,dirtydiscourse.com. It's an online community for self-published writers (mainly romance and erotica, but all genres are welcome). It's behind a paywall, but it's just $5 to check it out for a month and I've found it well worth the price. It's a good place to ask practical questions like how to deal with D2D when their algorithm rejects your book, and you can network with other authors for cross-promotion opportunities.

I’d really enjoy helping with everything except 2, as I am an Anglo Australian.

I am interested in helping. I can look at consistency in magic (internal and between books), grammar, and word usage. I can also do reviews. I can only cursorily look at cultural appropriation as I am about as white American as they come.

I really want to say yes, but I won't know anything about my upcoming summer schedule until after June 1st. I've reviewed the whole series so I'd really like to do this.

You know I'm always up for some copy editing, and a review is no problem at all. Just remind me when the book drops so I'll get it out the same day. Looks like you've got a lot of good people for both of those already. I'd help with the cultural thing but my knowledge base doesn't include that. As a former librarian I'd be happy to look stuff up for you. Research on specific points I can do.

You are always a saint with the copy editing, I know that. I have done a lot of research on the Tarahumara, so hopefully I have the cultural stuff right. It just makes me a little nervous when I'm too far outside my own cultural background.

I understand. Sometimes the schedule does not allow you to make commitments. Hopefully you'll still be around to read.

Excellent. Thank you so much. I'm nervous about my first foray into self-publishing.

Some release day reviews would be wonderful. I may look at that site a little later. I'm sort of maxed out on having to deal with new things. Honestly, I suck at change. I have Hoover levels of suckage with new. The same is true with doing paperbacks. I just don't have the energy right now... I'm trying to protect writing time. However, I will check that out later, and D2D got back to me and apologized for the algorithm getting choked up on my Claimings books. They are slowly filtering through the system now.
