Is there anyone who is *strongly* interested in being an early round beta reader for my sci fi manuscript?

Near-future sci-fi, crime/thriller/cyberpunk. A blend of action and multi-character depth, and moral analysis. The action is key and all, but alpha readers thus far cried at the character aspects; that's what hit them hard enough to care how they would engage with the action.

Strict Requirements for first-stage beta readers:

-I need to know/trust you personally, either in person or very well online with high reputation, to the point that I'd send an unfinished manuscript to you. There's no strict requirements, but if you know, you know.

-You like sci fi and/or fantasy books, and would be happy to read and offer objective (even brutal) feedback on a sci-fi action/crime thriller novel within the next month or two.

-You can comment or DM, for privacy sake.

That's a small group, but I'm putting it here on Nostr first for what I consider my pre-beta or readers. I will then expand 10x on Twitter and elsewhere for my full beta readers.

Meanwhile, I'm in the early revision stage. Manuscripts won't be sent out immediately. I'm still doing revisions and working with alpha readers, but I'm at the stage where I can start *planning* for the next step to see who might be interested to be early beta readers. Nostr folks get the exclusive early notice here.

I do tend to move pretty fast, though.

All pre-beta readers that provide meaningful input would be mentioned in the acknowledgement section, if the book were to be published, which of course I cannot guarantee will happen. I will only publish good books, one way or another.

But like, the alpha readers do like it. ;)

It’s probably worth noting all of excess in US government spending that needs to be cut, will create a dangerous feedback loop and likely deflationary spiral because all of those excess jobs are also spending, buying homes, eating out, traveling, spending on marketing etc. When they stop/slow down - and then require social assistance - debt as a % of gdp screams higher.

Ie - That expansion of government and regulation is a direct consequence of manipulated markets trying to stop the natural deflation in free markets but also an integral part of them - robbing more jobs from the free market, and misallocating capital everywhere.

In other words, it’s going to be messy!

The debt needs to come down first and that means money printing and much higher inflation.

Or as nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a memes so effectively “Nothing stops this train”

In either event - #Bitcoin is your lifeboat.

Long press, copy note ID, send to yourself in a DM. 😏

Testing out the (Twitter retweet equivalent) option:

Hold down your finger on the post, then copy note ID. Then create a new post, say what you want in reference to the “retweet”, then paste the note ID after the @ symbol…
