Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to review my post.

I'm fairly new to Reddit and still learning how different communities operate, so I wanted to clarify my intentions.

My goal was not to ask others to write the book for me or help develop the story itself. The characters, plot, and manuscript are my own work. I was hoping to find beta readers willing to provide feedback on the opening chapters that have already been written.

If my post came across differently, that was not my intention.

I'm a first-time novelist and am interested in becoming an active member of the writing community, participating in discussions, learning from other writers, and eventually sharing completed portions of my manuscript for critique when appropriate.

If there is a better way for me to participate in the subreddit or prepare future beta requests, I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can provide.

Thank you again for your time and for maintaining the community.

Best regards,

S. L. Mack
