Second Round of Beta Readers is Now Open

I've updated my first story, Any Given Day, after receiving some feedback. I've now drafted the second story, In-Service Day, which is a whopping 46 pages! All the details on getting involved are included in the previous journal entry.

Quick summary of the series: The Corgis is a new, all-ages slice of life graphic novel series that uses anthropomorphic dogs to tell absurd, real-life stories about parenting in modern times.

I'm open to more comments on the first story, but I'd prefer comments on the second story. Reading both would probably be helpful, and I think someone could read both stories in < 30 minutes. No artwork, just page layouts, dialog, and panel descriptions.

Thanks for taking a look at the journal!

Good luck with the launch of your graphic novel! How long will it be after you take your beta results and put it into the comic format?

I don't have a good estimate at the moment, unfortunately. Being a writer, I'm always reliant on the illustrators, and my illustrator is a bit behind schedule. I have some updates to make on the 2nd book from some initial feedback, and I've been working on some shorter 1-page "stories" (more like comic strips) for us to use as promos. In the meantime, I have my 4th children's book coming out in about a month, so I'm working on finalizing my marketing plan. I'm also writing a dark, gritty graphic novel, so there's always something to do while I wait on artwork.

Premise: widowed father suffers from trauma after his young daughter was accidentally killed in a gang crossfire. He is temporarily put under a psychiatric watch. As the story progresses, you learn about the events from flashbacks. Ultimately, the father thinks getting revenge on the gang will bring him closure. He buys a gun, does minimal training, and begins hunting them.
