Hello!
So I'm in middle of writing my first novel, and I'm looking for beta readers
For those of you who don't know, beta readers read books that are still in the works to give feedback on the plot, characters, etc.

I'm writing a dystopian novel. The basic plot is a president loses the election, but he refuses to give up the position and instead turns the U.S into a dictatorship. The son of the president elect forms a rebel group, and they try to overthrow the president/dictatorship.

If you're interested in beta reading (it will probably be a few months before I send it out), just leave a reply on this thread.

And feel free to post your own beta reader requests here.

I can help!

Like I said, it will probably be a few months, because I'm only about a quarter of the way through my zero draft, sooo.

I would like to beta read! I make my own stories!

I can be a beta reader!

Here's a zero draft if you want to look at it.
It's not complete yet, so I'll post more parts as I write them.
I have not edited, etc at all, so if you want a more complete version, I'll post the link when i get there

I need an idea.
So a scene in my book is the protag joins a rebel group. How would the rebel group know that new members are really on their side? The only idea I could think of would be new members are not brought to the real hideout, let in on the real plans, etc (but their not told that)..
After few months of them being trustworthy, they are brought to the real group.
Or is the reality of rebel groups that there might be a double crosser involved?

Lol. Is your book at all based on *aHEm* current events?

Definitely not

A drop of background on the idea for this book. In english class, we had to read a recent editorial, pick a point/topic it covered, and write a short story based on that point. Soooo, I did one about sore losing. The story did't really end, it was just, like, a rebel group was forming. So I just continued the story and beefed up parts of it to make a novel. Yeh, that's why it's based on current events.
