@kcdunfordbooks Just followed you, Kelsey! Kindly follow back for more discussion in the DM.

@kcdunfordbooks Since your betas didn't flag trimming, a fresh set of eyes might catch what they missed. If you'd like, I'd be glad to beta read AFTERMOON and give you honest feedback on pacing and any spots that could tighten up. Is that something you'd consider?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@badjourno Those AI detectors are really unreliable. Some authors I’ve worked with used them and hated the results, even writing they’d spent months on was flagged as 70-100% AI. As in.....
What’s the current word count of the piece so far?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@WisdomSoph I'm sorry to hear this! How long have you been working on it? I'd love to know more.

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@LahayeRob Wow, 2026 has truly been a good year for you, Lahay!
Congrats to you on finishing the first draft of your sixth story. Just curious, what's your best next step for your sixth novel since you're done with the first draft?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@ModomSolutions @book_io Big Congrats!!!
Would love to read this once you're ready for some fresh eyes.
What type of feedback would you be looking forward to get from readers by then?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@author_liz_mac Nice progress! 1/3 through edits is a solid place to be.
What’s the book about? And what’s your best next step after you finish this round of self-edits?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@IraborOmonzoje Makes sense taking time with those details for a debut. Which platform are you planning to publish on? Do you already have a cover and formatter? And how soon are you hoping to release it?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@chembiant What's your book about? Also, what type of feedback would you love to get from beta readers?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@LeggettRaine That's such a great plan! What's about your first book?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@kcdunfordbooks Makes sense, that decision can be tough. I think getting a beta reader to go through it one more time could help flag possible areas to trim without changing the tone or voice.
What's your thought towards that?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@byMichaelWest Got it, horror and over halfway through with the publisher waiting Have you been getting any reader feedback on it so far?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@kcdunfordbooks Nice, just checked the pitch. Bureaucratic lunar afterlife + forced to facilitate the murder of the woman he loves is a really strong hook. Dark and snarky sounds perfect for it.
Are you planning to query at 108k, or still thinking about one more cut?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@KPKBaltimore Cool 😎 ... Is this your first time writing?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@aldencsloane That’s a big win! Getting into editing mode is always the hardest part
What stage is the manuscript at?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@KhristinaChess It's great being an indie author tbh! Most of the authors in my community are indie authors and made great success through that. What's about your book, and what other way do you plan on reaching more readers for your book?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@SoMCoaching Just curious, what and how do you recognize them so easily?

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@SoMCoaching Bad to hear! There are lot of bots out there ...

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

@nuclearstu I'd love to read! Would you mind sending a DM? I'd be excited to know more about your work to see if it's something I'm gonna like investing my time into.

[Saint Editor @sainteditoriall]

Writing is hard. Getting honest feedback shouldn't be.

I'm currently accepting a few new beta reading projects. If you're looking for detailed, constructive feedback on your manuscript, my DMs are open. 📖💬
