Human Test Subjects Needed

Welcome! Welcome! Come on in, subjects!

The novel was designed for readers 21 years or older.

The novel can be beta-tested by readers 18 years or older.

I currently cannot allow readers under 18 years of age to participate in the experiment. Pending Legal.

Getting started is simple: click the "Request Beta-Test Access" box or email [email protected].

Register your interest to receive an invitation when the experiment begins. Selected participants must sign:

  • A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)Essentially: do not copy, distribute, post, discuss, or share the private manuscript or related project materials.
  • A Reader Acknowledgment Form (RAF)Essentially: participate voluntarily, read responsibly, and understand what the beta-reading experience involves.

Qualified volunteers will receive private access to a manuscript. You will be reminded that sharing the manuscript or confidential project information would violate your agreement.

I may provide very little additional information. I may not answer every question. Some questions cannot be answered without affecting the experiment.

That is all.

Thank you for coming. It was wonderful seeing most of you.
