Beta Reader Hunt- WU# 15

Hello my little writing fiends,
I have to admit I didn't do a terrible amount of actual writing this week. If you didn't read my update from last week I finally finished my draft after spending nearly fifteen weeks editing it. I took it so slow in an effort to get things right. I realize now I called it draft two. But it should be like draft 4 with how many times I have gone over the first part of it. But a trip to get paper, and using most of my moms ink, I have my 153 page manuscript.
I have gotten my first beta reader woo. Thanks Martha for jumping on board the bookworm army. I know I would still really love to have more readers. So, if you would like to help me out let me know I will stick a little form below for you to fill out and it will send an email directly to me! Some of you may be working on your own projects and I would love to help. I know I personally cannot take on 10 beta swaps but I would want to help you with a few. It would really mean a lot to me if you would help. This is a project that I have been working on for so, so, long and I want to get it so right before I start moving toward querying as I plan to do this summer.

    Please read before answering below. 
    1. Do you like to read fantasy or YA or both? What are your favorite books. Please if possible list something other than HP.
    2. Do you have an expierence as a beta reader? no? That is fine, what do you think you could offer to help with reading my book?
    3. How old are you? What do you read for fun? 
    4. Are willing to answer questions about the text every few chapters?
    5. Do you see anything in your schedule for the next month that could impede how quickly information is returned?
    6. What do you think of this little blurb?
    "Everyone has the chance to choose to be good" Shauna Flynn tells her ex-fiancé after she has to run from her home. Shauna and her sister Taytra came of age this year, which means it is time for them to be tested to see if they are a fritual. A descendant of a powerful elf able to control the elements. When Shauna's powers are revealed, her home is attacked by the Dark One's, a sect of elves that don't want their magic tainted by the blood of man. When the Dark Ones attack, she is forced to flee, while her family is held, hostage. She must find the other four Frituals, so they can bring their powers together and stop the reign of terror the Dark One's Magic will bring on the land. 

    Currently resting just over 50k words
    ​*Note- this book has not yet been to an editor, it is in my plans but I wish to have plot and structure set in stone before paying to have changes made. If you have any grammar edits, I would love to hear them, but I am more looking for structure feedback right now.
