BUT
I am still lacking a beta who meets the following qualifications:
- Native Irish or has spent a long period in Ireland (Northern or the Republic of, either is fine)
- Comfortable critiquing my Irish characters' linguistic patterns: word choice, slang usage, sentence structure, etc. (for Irish English, not the Irish/Gaelic languages)
- A writer, preferably of YA
To my knowledge, none of my blog or Twitter followers fit this description. If you meet the ↑ above qualifications ↑ and would be willing to critique my manuscript (or know someone else who might), please contact me at abby@abbystevens.com.
Also — if you are willing, I would be very grateful if you could help me spread the word about this on your blogs, Twitter, etc!
