Moodboard with alternating images between black and white and vivid color. A greek statue, a raven, a girl crying, a girl with hand lifted, an oracle, a light magic, a face statue, Nashville neon lights at night. Text: Music will be the death of me.

There is a grid of nine square photos with a dark blue background around them. All the photos are darkened and desaturated. In the top left photo, Tylor, a pale Northern Irish man with long, dark curly hair and wearing a black suit, is squatting close to the ground beside a tree trunk with his hands clasped one over the other. The top middle photo is a series of silhouettes of gravestones, the faint outline of a mountain in the background. The top right is a paved bridge that extends into fog, with metal railings on either side and branches along the top edge of the image. The centre left photo is a blurred, dark image of lines on a road and a streak of a headlamp above. The centre middle is a starry night sky surrounded by black silhouettes of tree tops. Centre right is a lighter photo of a roadway and field beyond, with a white Mini driving on it. The bottom left photo is of several leafless young trees beside a lake. The bottom middle photo is a low-angle shot of a cobblestone wall and memorial obelisk atop it. In the bottom right image, Naveena, a British-Indian woman with brown skin and long dark hair, moves along a hedge in a black leather jacket with a wary expression on her face. There is text overlayed all the photos. It says: "The Pitch. Tylor & Naveena are keeping secrets: he can talk to the dead & she is Death herself. No mortal can do what they do. The day they meet, they discover they've been looking for each other. Can they work together to save a missing girl, & themselves, before it's too late?"

For normal people, this was the end. For magats, they loved it and wished they had a platform to mock someone’s disability. That’s the difference folks - bottom line.

I'm trying to write a lower YA dystopian-ish thing with a double timeline and lots of backstory. Would that be too much for this age?

Thank you, I appreciate that. I´m really looking for someone who can read several chapters--about 10. I´m trying to decide the structure of act 1 and I´m also looking for people who might be my target readers. I wonder if that´s too much to ask.

Can anyone suggest some trustworthy Beta readers? I need to get some things agent-ready, but I feel my critique group doesn't understand what I'm trying to do. I need new eyes that can help with the bigger picture. #writers
