atelierwriting:looking for beta readers for the drowned girl!the drowned girl is a haunting story about three drastically different people: the student council president, the star athlete, and the school enigma. they are an unlikely group with everything to lose, facing a web of secrets when one boy disappears and a sister never returns.blurb: (wip page) (preview)Viv’s problems start on a Monday. After disappearing for a summer, things have already begun to pile up for her, but she fully intends to fade into obscurity now that her older sister - star student Cecilia Yee - has graduated and gone off to live her life.But people in the small town of Nottinghill, Michigan don’t just leave.In her wake, Cece has left a tangle of secrets full of ambition, obsession, and hidden plans. There’s one for the boy down the street, resident soccer star with an inheritance and a missing older brother to boot; there’s one for the cashier at the town’s only gas station, the student council president and less than faithful son; there’s even one for Viv herself.And the thing is, it’s all been set in motion. Amidst it all, Noah Cunningham and Callum South join Viv, drawn together by circumstance to form a group that should have next to nothing in common. But as they delve deeper into Cece’s past, things become much more complicated than a search for a missing brother.warning: this is not a story for the lighthearted.trigger warnings for suicide mentions and blood.what i am looking for:readers who are fans of ya, mystery, and stories about a deceptively normal town. there are around 80 short segments total, as i wrote the story out of order, so you’ll be expected to be able to read 10 segments at a time. you will also be expected to answer a few questions after reading, as well as keeping track of when you think that each segment takes place in order to help me organize everything.length:there’s only around 28k words, so it really isn’t that long. however, the sections of 10 segments differ greatly in weeks, so depending on how long it is i may be expecting you to finish reading within a week. the longest is 5k words, though, and you will be able to ask for extensions as needed.interested? fill out the form here! don’t forget to reblog this post!tagging some mutuals to signal boost: @priyaele, @nepeinthe, @ikilledmyocs, @mvcreates, @avi-burton-writing, @omgbrekkerkaz -- source link
