A Generation's Secrets Typo Squad

 Hello, dear readers! It's been a while!

I have not kept up with blog posts as I had intended to...between reviewing the audiobook files for A Season Lost, editing A Generation's Secrets, and writing The Crimes of Elizabeth Darcy, I haven't had time. And I'll admit to lacking a bit in motivation, as I'm looking at another year without a trip to England thanks to Delta, so it's tough to revisit my time in the Lakes.

But I am writing on a cheerier topic. I've got a "typo squad" draft ready of A Generation's Secrets, and I would love to have you join in and give it a read. This is a pretty darn close to final publication version of the story, and having some more sets of eyes on it I've found super helpful in past books. 

The idea is for you to simply read it naturally as you would any book, and just flag anything that jumps out at you. It will be particularly helpful with this one, since at 300,000+ words I'm pretty sure there are still some typos lurking in there.

So, if you're interested, please drop me a line at sophieturner1805 [at] gmail [dot] com so that I can get you either an ebook file or a PDF of the paperback. If you already volunteered during the online beta, you should have heard from me, but please do let me know if I've missed you on accident. It's been a long time since then and my memory's not perfect!

Please also be aware that in advance of (FINALLY) publishing the book I will be removing all but a preview from FF.net and Archive of Our Own. I am targeting September 4 for removal but will keep it up for additional days if I see anyone actively reading and commenting within the previous 24 hours.
