Folks, I'm providing advice to Gail Grycel. She needs beta readers for her memoir. Please read her info below:
Hello, prospective beta readers. I am in the final steps of revising a travel memoir. Before I move on to editors, cover design, and formatting, I would love some general feedback on my manuscript from a few neutral readers who do not know my story already. It is my hope to receive feedback by the middle of this December to use towards the next pre-editor revision. The manuscript is just over 71,000 words, and each chapter recalls the experiences of visiting a certain place in the United States. Added short vignettes- quirky scenarios punctuating the movement of travel by public transportation—connect the chapters.
Thank you for your consideration, Gail Grycel
Book Description:
Exhausted from thirty years of running a business, layers of self-doubt, and failed online dating attempts, Gail Grycel embarks on a year of travel from New England to Hawaii and back. Armed with backpacking gear and two pairs of dancing shoes, she boards a Greyhound bus in September of 2014, and sets out to see what else life offers. Travel with Gail through the landscapes and cultures of the United States, exploring oddities like the Cow Thieves and Outlaws Reunion, the Mummified Barbie Dolls, and the Biker Bar
Identity Crisis. Encounter people like Coyote Joe, the Nomadic Llama Guru, TEA Man, and the Denver Seducer. While integrating humor, adventure, and self-reflection, Gail invites the reader to walk the labyrinth of possible lives with her and find out what evolves.
